A ROMANCE OF TWO WORLDS. Sixteenth Edition. VENDETTA. Thirteenth Edition. THELMA. Seventeenth Edition. ARDATH. Eleventh Edition. THE SOUL OF LILITH. Ninth Edition. WORMWOOD. Eighth Edition. BARABBAS: A DREAM OF THE WORLD'S TRAGEDY. Thirty-first Edition.
'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is, despite some trifling incongruities, a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.'—Dublin Review.
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. Thirty-sixth Edition.
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'—W. T. STEAD in the Review of Reviews.
Anthony Hope's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
THE GOD IN THE CAR. Seventh Edition.
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure.'—The World.
A CHANGE OF AIR. Fourth Edition.
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters are traced with a masterly hand.'—Times.
A MAN OF MARK. Fourth Edition.
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'—National Observer.
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. Third Edition.
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure romance. The outlawed Count is the most constant, desperate, and withal modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a very faithful friend, and a most magnanimous foe.'—Guardian.
PHROSO. Illustrated by H. R. MILLAR. Third Edition.
'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the blood, and humorously, dashingly told.'—St. James's Gazette.

S. Baring Gould's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery.'—Speaker.
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people, are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull, and under such conditions it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence both in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'—Court Circular.

NOEMI: A Romance of the Cave-Dwellers. Illustrated by R. CATON WOODVILLE. Third Edition.

'There is a kind of flavour about this book which alone elevates it above the ordinary novel. The story itself has a grandeur in harmony with the wild and rugged scenery which is its setting.'—Athenaeum.

'A very striking and admirable novel.'—St. James's Gazette.
THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE.
'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a dull person indeed.'—Daily Chronicle.
THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. Fifth Edition.
'Everybody with a soul for romance will thoroughly enjoy "The Trail of the Sword."'—St. James's Gazette.

WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC: The Story of a Lost Napoleon. Fourth Edition.
'Here we find romance—real, breathing, living romance, but it runs flush with our own times, level with our own feelings. The character of Valmond is drawn unerringly; his career, brief as it is, is placed before us as convincingly as history itself. The book must be read, we may say re-read, for any one thoroughly to appreciate Mr. Parker's delicate touch and innate sympathy with humanity.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'The one work of genius which 1895 has as yet produced.'—New Age.

In "The Seats of the Mighty" he shows the matured power which his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a really fine historical novel.... Most sincerely is Mr. Parker to be congratulated on the finest novel he has yet written.'—Athenaeum.
'Mr. Parker's latest book places him in the front rank of living novelists. "The Seats of the Mighty" is a great book.'—Black and White.
'One of the strongest stories of historical interest and adventure that we have read for many a day.... A notable and successful book.'—Speaker.

Arthur Morrison. TALES OF MEAN STREETS. By ARTHUR MORRISON. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
'Told with consummate art and extraordinary detail. He tells a plain, unvarnished tale, and the very truth of it makes for beauty. In the true humanity of the book lies its justification, the permanence of its interest, and its indubitable triumph.'—Athenaeum.
'A great book. The author's method is amazingly effective, and produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the mark it is certain to make.'—World.
Arthur Morrison. A CHILD OF THE JAGO. By ARTHUR MORRISON. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
This, the first long story which Mr. Morrison has written, is like his remarkable 'Tales of Mean Streets,' a realistic study of East End life.

'An unquestionably interesting book. It would not surprise us if it turns out to be the most interesting novel of the season, for it contains one character, at least, who has in him the root of immortality, and the book itself is ever exhaling the sweet savour of the unexpected....
