THE PROFESSOR’S EXPERIMENT
MRS. HUNGERFORD’S NOVELS
‘ Mrs. Hungerford has well deserved the title of being one of the most fascinating novelists of the day. The stories written by her are the airiest, lightest, and brightest imaginable, full of wit, spirit, and gaiety; but they contain, nevertheless, touches of the most exquisite pathos. There is something good in all of them. ’—Academy.
A MAIDEN ALL FORLORN , and other Stories. Post 8vo., illustrated boards, 2s.; cloth limp, 2s. 6d.
‘There is no guile in the novels of the authoress of “Molly Bawn,” nor any consistency or analysis of character; but they exhibit a faculty truly remarkable for reproducing the rapid small-talk, the shallow but harmless “chaff” of certain strata of modern fashionable society.’— Spectator.
IN DURANCE VILE , and other Stories. Post 8vo., illustrated boards, 2s.; cloth limp, 2s. 6d.
‘Mrs. Hungerford’s Irish girls have always been pleasant to meet upon the dusty pathways of fiction. They are flippant, no doubt, and often sentimental, and they certainly flirt, and their stories are told often in rather ornamental phrase and with a profusion of the first person singular. But they are charming all the same.’— Academy.
A MENTAL STRUGGLE. Post 8vo., illustrated boards, 2s.; cloth limp, 2s. 6d.
‘She can invent an interesting story, she can tell it well, and she trusts to honest, natural, human emotions and interests of life for her materials.’— Spectator.
A MODERN CIRCE. Post 8vo., illustrated boards, 2s.; cloth limp, 2s. 6d.
