NEW NOVEL BY JOSEPH HOCKING.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

The Birthright

By Joseph Hocking,
Author of "All Men are Liars," "Andrew Fairfax," &c.

With Illustrations by Harold Piffard.

---

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"This volume proves beyond all doubt that Mr Hocking has mastered the art of the historical romancist. 'The Birthright' is, in its way, quite as well constructed, as well written, and as full of incident as any story that has come from the pen of Mr Conan Doyle or Mr Stanley Weyman."—The Spectator.

"We read Mr Hocking's book at a sitting; not because we had any leisure for the task, but simply because the book compelled us.... We hold our breath as each chapter draws to an end, yet cannot stop there, for the race is unflagging.... We congratulate Mr Hocking upon his book, for it is a great advance upon anything he has done. We prophesy a big public for 'The Birthright.'"—The Daily Chronicle.

"'The Birthright' will be appreciated on account of its successions of exciting scenes, its crisp dialogue, its play of varied character, and a certain eerie air of superstition with which it is pervaded....—The Daily Mail.

"A thoroughly enjoyable romance.... Mr Hocking has woven a story which few will lay down unfinished. The interest never flags for a moment, and the faithfulness with which the scenery of the land of Tre, Pol and Pen is described, and the quaint dialect and traditions of its older inhabitants are reproduced, is beyond praise."—Weekly Times.

"We feel certain that, were we still condemned to go to bed at nine, we should sleep with the book under our pillow, and wake with the birds to see what happened.... A capital story of its class."—The Star.

Litanies of Life

By Kathleen Watson

---

Mr T. P. O'Connor, M.P., in The Weekly Sun
("A Book of the Week")

"Fancy a woman ... so gifted, sitting down with the resolve to crush into a few words the infinite tale of all the whole race of her sex can suffer, and you have an idea of what this remarkable book is like.... As wonderful an epitome of a world of sorrow as I have ever read."

"A work of great charm, over which one likes to linger, and dream, and think.... The words flow with that tuneful felicity which belongs more to poetry than to prose."—Liverpool Post.

"The five short, poignant stories which make up this excellent little book, are remarkable for distinction of style, and interesting by reason of the writer's observation of life and character, and the originality of her reflections.... Miss Watson can tell a story in a way to cut the reader to the heart.... The reader of sensibility will find a chastened pleasure in every one of them."—The Morning.

"So real is this first sketch, so human, so sensitively delicate, so successful in its curious mingling of boldness and tenderness, that the reader necessarily imagines it to be autobiographical, believing that only out of actual sorrow could be distilled so true a record of passion and of regret."—The Daily Mail.

"Written in most admirable prose, this collection of five beautiful, though sad stories, will appeal to all lovers of good literature.... It adds to its worth as a clever book the additional charm of being a good one."—Lloyd's Newspaper.

THE LAUREL LIBRARY—Volume II.

Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt top, 2s.

The Widow Woman

A CORNISH TALE.

By Charles Lee.

---

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Such a delightfully natural love story is this that even staid old people who have not read one for a score of years will admit that it is quite unromantic enough to be sensible.... We close the book with a feeling of gratitude to the author who has supplied us with such a delightful study."—Manchester Courier.

"A delightful little work.... Mr Lee knows these fisher folk by heart, and has the ability to draw them to the life in a few bright strokes of drollery.... The character sketching is admirable, the scenes and situations are most vividly brought out, and the pervading humour is of a genuine stamp."—Sheffield Independent.

"An entertaining story.... A clever, humorous and thoroughly enjoyable book."—Scotsman.

"A fascinating book.... From beginning to end it is delightfully fresh and vigorous; the vignettes of Cornish life and character are quaint and humorous; and the snatches of unsophisticated philosophy, not without a dash of subtlety, are as amusing as they are original.... Nothing so deliciously witty as John Trehill's courtship has been written of late, and another story from the author's pen will be awaited with the keenest pleasure and interest."—Dundee Advertiser.

"The story, simple and homely in its nature, is told with a humour and abandon that makes the book most delightful reading."—Glasgow Daily Mail.

"The book is one to read, having the blessed quality of making you chuckle: the best of qualities in literature, one is inclined to say, in these tired days."—Black and White.

STORIES OF LOWER LONDON.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

East End Idylls

By A. St John Adcock.

---

"This is a remarkable book. It is a collection of short stories on East End life, but they are told with that real realism of observation of which Mr Morrison has set the fashion. The setting is real, the slang is real, the manners and customs seem to have been drawn from life."—The Daily News.

"It does not need any actual experience of East End life to tell the reader of these 'East End Idylls' that they are the work of a master-hand.... The little idylls are all exquisitely done—exquisitely, we say, because there is no other word which will do full justice to the performance."—The Sun.

"Very vivid sketches of the East End as it is to-day. In the intimacy they display with life in the slums, and in the terseness and force of their style, they boldly challenge comparison with 'Tales of Mean Streets,' nor do they lose by the comparison. Mr Adcock's themes are less gloomy and hopeless than Mr Morrison's. Amid all the misery he loves to recount deeds of unselfish devotion and simple heroism; nor do I believe that he is less true to life because his realism is less grim."—The Pall Mall Gazette.

"Distinctly a book worth reading. There is heroism here, and knowledge—true insight, in fact—and sympathy."—The Leeds Mercury.

"A series of touching and delightful sketches. Much has been written of the East End, but rarely with more charm or sympathy than by Mr Adcock."—The Star.

"Mr Adcock possesses a graphic pen, and has sketched the loves and hates, the joys and the sorrows of the dwellers in London's mighty East in a series of short, vigorous stories that make up a very delightful volume."—Lloyd's Newspaper.

A BOOK OF YACHTING STORIES
FOR HOLIDAY READING.

Crown 8vo, cloth, price 3s. 6d.

The Paper Boat

By "Palinurus."

---

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Lively tales of yachting adventure.... 'The Paper Boat' will be a pleasant companion on any cruise, and we wish her a prosperous voyage on her own account as well."—Glasgow Herald.

"Bright and amusing.... There is some charming description in the book, which is in every respect eminently readable, making no heavy demands on the reader, and keeping him in good humour."—The Sportsman.

"Brightly written stories of the sea.... The stories have a brightness and freshness which cannot fail to give pleasure."—Manchester Courier.

"We unreservedly recommend this book to any one on holiday as a sure tonic against business worries and city soot. It has the same effect as a whip of salt spray on the face of a jaded worker."—N. B. Daily Mail.

"The author writes with strength and picturesqueness on a subject of which he is evidently a master, and one cannot read his stories without a thrill of the excitement that is one of the greatest charms of yachting."—Dundee Advertiser.

"A charming volume in all respects.... A more delightful story, or better told, than 'The Voyage of the Florette' there could not be. We envy those who have not read it. The book is full of life and go."—Sheffield Telegraph.

"As bright and breezy as can be wished.... One of the best volumes of light short stories offered to the public for a long time past."—Lloyd's Newspaper.

New Work by the Rev. Frederick Langbridge.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

The Dreams of Dania

By Frederick Langbridge,
Author of "Sent back by the Angels," &c.

With Four Full-Page Illustrations by J. B. Yeats.

"Mr Langbridge's novel is one which will be read with unmixed pleasure. It is sprightly and often amusing, reproducing the talk of Irish peasants and Irish editors. It is also pathetic as it gives us with much sympathy and good taste a picture of an Irish rector in sickness and sorrow.... Narrated by Mr Langbridge in a manner that holds the interest of the reader from beginning to end. Bridget is one of the raciest characters in recent fiction, and a novel at once so healthy and so pleasant should be heartily welcomed."—British Weekly.

---

Crown 8vo, Art Linen, 3s. 6d.

Orgeas and Miradou

With other Pieces

By Frederick Wedmore

Author of "Renunciations," "English Episodes," &c.

"The beautiful story of 'Orgeas and Miradou,' is specially typical of Mr Wedmore's power of expressing and translating the poignancy of human emotion.... It is charged with depths of feeling, and vivid in its extreme reticence and discrimination of touch. In it there is nothing short of divination."—The Athenæum.

---

SECOND EDITION NOW READY.

Fcap. 4to, art canvas, gilt, 3s. 6d.

The House of Dreams

An Allegory

By an Anonymous Author.

---

"'The House of Dreams' belongs to the same class as Mrs Oliphant's 'A Pilgrim in the Unseen,' and may rival the great popularity of that striking fancy.... A book of signal literary beauty, of profound tenderness, and deeply reverent throughout; the work of a man who finds in earth and heaven alike the sign and token of the Cross."—The British Weekly.

"A very beautiful allegory.... The author's deep reverence and exalted phantasy never ring false, and his work cannot fail to inspire the reader with reverence for ideals undreamed of in worldly philosophy."—The Pall Mall Gazette.

"An allegory worthy to rank among the greatest achievements of that form of literature.... The great gospel of love and hope shines out from these splendid pages.... 'The House of Dreams' is a book which religious teachers will find it abundantly worth their while to study."—Christian World.

"It is in truth a prose poem, one of the most beautiful and delightful we have ever read.... Nothing could be better than that the leaders of all Churches should breathe the pure and tender atmosphere of 'The House of Dreams,' and carry it with them into the world of daily reality."—Methodist Times.

"A vision of extraordinary force and significance.... It seems to us that no thoughtful reader will be likely to rise from a perusal of this book without feeling himself heartened, so inspiring are certain of its passages.... It is full of high suggestion, of pathos, and of poetry."—The Literary World.

The Child, the Wise Man,
and the Devil

By Coulson Kernahan
Author of "God and the Ant."

---

SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Bookman says—

"It is the author's special gift to stimulate the minds of Christian teachers.... In this little work he has given us work which deserves to live.... No one can read these pages without emotion."

The Daily Mail says—

"The writer's views are expressed with bold and manly sincerity, and in a spirit of true reverence. His little book must make a very deep and abiding impression upon the hearts and minds of all who read it to the end."

The Echo says—

"There will be few readers of this work who will not allow with enthusiasm the moral earnestness, the poetic imagination, and the literary charm of Mr Kernahan's stern muse."

The British Weekly says—

"By far the best piece of work that Mr Kernahan has done.... The spirit of the age, with its yearnings, its sorrows, its vague aspiration, finds expression in these pages."

The Queen says—

"A work of genius. No one who has read it will ever be likely to forget it."

The Saturday Review says—

"There is a touch of genius, perhaps even more than a touch, about this brilliant and original booklet."

The Illustrated London News says—

"All must recognise the boundless charity, the literary power, and the intense sincerity of one of the most interesting works of the year."

"We put first of the books for girls 'When Hearts are Young' by Deas Cromarty."—The Christian World on "The Season's Gift Books."

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 2s. 6d.

By Deas Cromarty

With Eight Illustrations by Will Morgan.

---

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Manchester Guardian says—

"It is delightful to read. One has come across few recent books that leave a pleasanter impression on the reader's memory."

The Star says—

"There is true insight into the peasant character of the lower fringe of the Highlands.... The girl Maggie is true to the life.... One is grateful for the wholesomeness of this gentle story."

Lloyd's News says—

"This is one of the pleasantest volumes we have picked up for a long time.... It is a tender, beautiful love story, very fresh and wholesome, with a wealth of fine descriptive writing."

The Methodist Times says—

"Deas Cromarty ... comes in a good second to these great writers (Barrie and Maclaren). There is the freshness of the mountain breezes about the book which gives zest to the reading of it."

The Manchester Courier says—

"Those who pick up the book will find difficulty in laying it down before the last page is reached."

The Methodist Recorder says—

"One of the most charming stories of the season.... This is as truly an 'Idyll' as anything Tennyson ever wrote."

NEW BOOK BY CUTCLIFFE HYNE.

Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt, 6s.

The 'Paradise' Coal Boat

By Cutcliffe Hyne,
Author of "The Recipe for Diamonds," &c.

"In Mr Cutcliffe Hyne our great Anglo-Indian romancer (Rudyard Kipling) seems to have found a worthy comrade.... Grim and powerful tales.... Alike from a literary and political point of view Mr Cutcliffe Hyne has, in his latest volume, deserved well of the commonwealth."—The Star.

"Mr Hyne knows the sea, and the seamy side of sea life. He also knows the West Coast of Africa, and whether we are voyaging with him in a tramp steamer between London and Shields, or off the Lagos Coast, we feel that we are somehow in the proper atmosphere. Constructively his stories are always excellent."—The Scotsman.

"For the contents of 'The Sorrow of God' we have nothing but praise, and we could wish for nothing more than that the book might be widely circulated. Spiritual insight, large culture, with its consequent breadth of sympathy and eloquent expression, are the distinguishing features of what is, without exaggeration, a collection of notable sermons.... Those of our readers who value a fresh utterance on the great problems of religion will lose no time in getting acquainted with a book we have been able to notice all too briefly."—The Sunday School Chronicle.

"There are many noble utterances in these sermons.... It is because the author helps us to feel purer and better that we so heartily commend his book."—The New Age.

Manners for Men

By Madge of "Truth"

(Mrs Humphry.)

"Always in most excellent taste as well as astonishingly complete. Certainly the world would be a very much pleasanter place to live in if all men did read and practise her admirable precepts."—Saturday Review.

"It is a charmingly-written code of true manners."—Leeds Mercury.

"Very welcome will be this little book, written sensibly and brightly."—Daily Telegraph.

"Mrs Humphry's book will be worth more than its weight in gold.... Excellent, robust common sense, tempered by genuine goodness of heart, is a characteristic of everything she writes."—The Queen.

"A very dainty and instructive epitome of all that we ought to be.... To a shy young man this tactful volume should be invaluable."—To-Day.

The White Slaves of England

Being true Pictures of Certain Social Conditions of England in the year 1897.

By Robert H. Sherard.

With about 40 Illustrations by Harold Piffard.

Dr Alfred Russel Wallace says:—"You have done a service to the cause of humanity in publishing it, and the author in writing it. That such things as Mr Sherard describes should exist at the very end of the century, when all our public writers are boasting of our wealth, our progress, and our civilisation, is a sufficient proof that our so-called civilisation is rotten to the core, worse in many respects than it has ever been before."

Mr Hall Caine says:—"The appalling revelations of Robert Sherard in his recent book are enough to make a man's heart bleed for the awful sufferings of women in the bitter struggle for bread. On the fate of our women, especially our working women, the future of our country, I truly believe, depends; and it is amazing that Parliament and the Press, and, above all, the Church, have hitherto given so little attention to so great a problem."

Dr Max Nordau says:—"I have now read your book 'The White Slaves of England.' I am not easily unnerved, but at times it was almost too much for me.... May it be your lot to become the Plimsoll of the alkali and lead-workers. This would be an achievement grand enough to satisfy the ambition of the greatest."

"An indictment which should rouse a cry of passionate indignation throughout the land. A careful and noble exposure of industrial iniquity."—The Echo.

The Charmer

A SEASIDE COMEDY

By Shan F. Bullock,
Author of "The Awkward Squads," "By Thrasna River," &c.

With Illustrations by Bertha Newcombe.

"Mr Anthony Hope at his best has given us nothing more delicious in humour. The pages of the book ripple—as we turn them—with fun as sparkling and spontaneous as the ripple of the salt water upon the sandy beach whither Mr Bullock leads us. Surely no more delightful picture of Irish life and of Irish people—the people whom we love while we laugh at, and laugh at while we love—has been drawn than is to be found in 'The Charmer.'"—From an illustrated article on Mr Bullock and his work in The Young Man.

Methodist Idylls

By Harry Lindsay.

"Worthy of any writer who has yet set himself to depict Methodist life.... A very helpful and right religious book."—Methodist Times.

"A book which in its lovely prose chapters gives an insight into the true romance, the April sunshine, of Methodist life.... We hope that the volume may find its way into every Methodist home."—Methodist Recorder.

"A most admirable attempt to throw into permanent form some portraits of the old and vanishing Methodists.... As a study in Methodism, Mr Lindsay's work can be cordially and heartily commended."—The Sun.

"Extremely interesting stories ... admirably told."—The Scotsman.

NEW BOOK BY REV. F. B. MEYER.

Work-a-day Sermons

By Rev. F. B. Meyer, B.A.

Few names in the Christian ministry are held in such honour as is accorded by earnest Christian men and women of every sect to that of the Rev. F. B. Meyer, who has an enormous audience outside his own church. Hence the announcement of a new volume of Sermons by him will be peculiarly welcome, and all the more so for the fact that this is a book which is intended, not for the few, but for the work-a-day many, for whose encouragement and consolation Mr Meyer has here given the very fine gold of his thoughts upon spiritual things and upon the intimate association which exists—or should exist—between the things of the work-a-day life and the higher life.

NEW BOOKLET BY RICHARD LE GALLIENNE

Long 8vo, price One Shilling.

If I Were God

By Richard Le Gallienne.

The announcement of a new book—and especially of a new book of a peculiarly Le Galliennesque and characteristic description by the author of "The Book-Bills of Narcissus," "The Religion of a Literary Man," and "Prose Fancies," will be received with very eager and unusual interest. Whatever may be the opinions entertained by individual readers about Mr Le Gallienne's own views, there is no denying that no book by him has yet appeared which has not aroused exceptional interest and exceptional discussion. His last venture is likely to be even more universally talked about. It is a greatly-daring but extremely beautiful and reverent attempt to deal with the terrible problem of the presence of moral and physical evil, but quite apart from its value as a contribution to the philosophy of life, it is a singularly striking and beautiful piece of literary work, full of the exquisite imaginings and lovely fancies of the accomplished poet and man of letters.

NEW NOVEL BY E. PHIPPS TRAIN.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

A Deserter from Philistia

By E. Phipps Train

Author of "A Social Highwayman," etc.

This is a book which, with ordinary luck, should bid fair to rival the popularity of "Called Back" or "Mr Barnes of New York." From first to last it is enthrallingly interesting, and dealing, as it does, with the life "behind the scenes" of a great dancer who is the "darling" of her public, it gives its readers a peep into a world of which little is known by outsiders. Rarely have the trials and temptations, the thousand and one cares and anxieties of those whose business it is always to wear a smiling face, in order that they may entertain their public, been drawn with such skill and vividness.
