JOSEPH HOCKING
ROGER TREWINION. 3s. 6d.
T. P.'s Weekly.—"It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hocking will always have a good story to tell. 'Roger Trewinion' can stand forth with the best, a strong love interest, plenty of adventure, an atmosphere of superstition, and Cornwall as the scene."
THE COMING OF THE KING. 3s. 6d.
The Glasgow Herald.—"Mr. Hocking's latest romance exhibits no dimunution of ability, and is marked by insight and dramatic power. His imagination is fertile, and his skill in the arrangement of incident far above the average, and there is an air of reality in all his writing which is peculiarly charming."
EASU. 3s. 6d.
The Outlook.—"Remarkable for the dramatic power with which the scenes are drawn and the intense human interest which Mr. Hocking has woven about his characters. 'Easu' is sure to be one of the novels of the season."
GREATER LOVE. 3s. 6d.
The Newcastle Chronicle.—"Though of a totally different character from 'Lest We Forget,' Mr. Hocking's latest story is entitled to take rank along with that fine romance. The story arrests the attention from the first chapters, and soon becomes highly dramatic."
LEST WE FORGET. 3s. 6d.
Public Opinion.—"His story is quite as good as any we have read of the Stanley Weyman's school, and presents an excellent picture of the exciting times of Gardiner and Bonner."
AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE? 3s. 6d.
The Weekly Sun.—"An engaging and fascinating romance. The reader puts the story down with a sigh, and wishes there were more of these breezy Cornish uplands, for Mr. Joseph Hocking's easy style of narrative does not soon tire."
JABEZ EASTERBROOK. 3s. 6d.
The Rock.—"Real strength is shown in the sketches, of which that of Brother Bowman is most prominent. In its way it is delightful."

The Star.—"Great power and thrilling interest.... The scenery of the Holy Land has rarely been so vividly described as in this charming book of Mr. Hocking's."
THE PURPLE ROBE. 3s. 6d.
The Queen.—"Mr. Hocking's most interesting romance. It is exceedingly clever, and excites the reader's interest and brings out the powerful nature of the clever young minister. This most engrossing book challenges comparison with the brilliance of Lothair."
THE SCARLET WOMAN. 3s. 6d.
The Methodist Recorder.—"This is Mr. Hocking's strongest and best book. We advise every one to read it. The plot is simple, compact and strenuous; the writing powerful. It brings out sharply the real character of the typical Jesuit, his training, motives, limitations, aims."
ALL MEN ARE LIARS. 3s. 6d.
The Christian World.—"This is a notable book. Thoughtful people will be fascinated by its actuality, its fearlessness, and the insight it gives into the influence of modern thought and literature upon the minds and morals of our most promising manhood."
ISHMAEL PENGELLY: AN OUTCAST. 3s. 6d.
The Athenæum.—"The book is to be recommended for the dramatic effectiveness of some of the scenes. The wild, half-mad woman is always picturesque wherever she appears, and the rare self-repression of her son is admirably done."
THE STORY OF ANDREW FAIRFAX. 3s. 6d.
The Manchester Examiner.—"Rustic scenes and characters are drawn with free, broad touches, without Mr. Buchanan's artificiality, and, if we may venture to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy's country pictures."
THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3s. 6d.
The Spectator.—"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."
MISTRESS NANCY MOLESWORTH. 3s. 6d.

L. G. MOBERLY
THAT PREPOSTEROUS WILL. 6s.

ANGELA'S MARRIAGE. 6s.

GUY THORNE
FIRST IT WAS ORDAINED. 6s.

THE ANGEL. 6s.
Dundee Advertiser.—"Another of those daringly original, graphic, and popularly influential stories that Guy Thorne loves to write. Both as a story and as an argument for the reality of the spiritual in men and affairs, it is strong and persuasive."
THE SOCIALIST. 6s.
The subject of his new novel is indicated by its title, and the story is one likely to attract enormous attention, and be everywhere discussed.
ARCHIBALD EYRE
THE TRIFLER. 6s.
The Daily Express.—"A most cleverly contrived farcical comedy, full of really fresh incidents, and a dialogue that is genuinely amusing; there is not a character who is not always welcome and full of entertainment."
THE CUSTODIAN. 6s.
The Morning Post.—"An exceptionally clever and entertaining novel; the reader is compelled to finish the book when he has once taken it up.... It is impossible to resist its attractions."
THE GIRL IN WAITING. 6s.
The Daily Mail.—"This is quite a delightful book. The note is struck ingeniously and hilariously on the doorstep. It is a most enjoyable comedy, which must be read to be appreciated. We can cordially recommend it."

"Poet Laureate of the Animal World, Professor Roberts displays the keenest powers of observation closely interwoven with a fine imaginative discretion."

MONEY. 6s.
"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" This is the keynote of this stirring novel by the author of "Convict 99."
