INTERLUDES.
By MAUD OXENDEN.
One volume, crown 8vo., 6s.
Scotsman.
'The writer is to be congratulated on the strength with which she portrays men and women, and describes the passions of love or of grief that sometimes fill the mind. There are other personages in these pages, whose experiences of love and joy and grief are under other circumstances than those indicated; but if the writer had depicted none other than the three personages that appear in the tragic scene in London she would have scored a distinct success. An admirably-written book.'
Sheffield Telegraph.
'We have not read anything so tenderly touched with pathos, and at the same time so delicately told, for a very long time. Indeed, "Interludes" is about as good a piece of literary work of its class as we could wish to read, and is worth a high place in the works which appeal to the emotional in our nature.'
Bradford Observer.
'The stories evince a considerable and disciplined faculty of invention which, though it produces situations of intense interest, never becomes riotous or extravagant. We will close our too brief note with an expression of the pleasure we have felt in reading these chaste and beautiful fancies.'
Guardian.
'There is much that is both clever and original in Miss Oxenden's "Interludes." There is often very genuine pathos, and nearly all the volume is interesting.'

Star.
'The book is charmingly written.'
Guardian.
'Not only do we agree with Mr. Adderley in his general objects, and in many of his fundamental principles, but we believe that the path of reform lies very much in the direction to which he has pointed.'
Daily Chronicle.
'The story is one of a novel kind, and many people will find it interesting and very suggestive.'
Rock.
'A little but very notable volume.'
Record.
'A little book, but one of which much will be heard.'
