J. Maclaren Cobban. THE KING OF ANDAMAN: A Saviour of Society. By J. Maclaren Cobban. Crown 8vo. 6s.
'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.... Plot is forgotten and incident fades, and only the really human endures, and throughout this book there stands out in bold and beautiful relief its high-souled and chivalric protagonist, James the Master of Hutcheon, the King of Andaman himself.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'A most original and refreshing story. James Hutcheon is a personage whom it is good to know and impossible to forget. He is beautiful within and without, whichever way we take him.'—Spectator.
'"The King of Andaman," is a book which does credit not less to the heart than the head of its author.'—Athenæum.
'The fact that Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to gracefully express to the author of "The King of Andaman" her interest in his work will doubtless find for it many readers.'—Vanity Fair.
H. Morrah. A SERIOUS COMEDY. By Herbert Morrah. Crown 8vo. 6s.
'There are many delightful places in this volume, which is well worthy of its title. The theme has seldom been presented with more freshness or more force.'—Scotsman.
L. B. Walford. SUCCESSORS TO THE TITLE. By Mrs. Walford, Author of 'Mr. Smith,' etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
'The story is fresh and healthy from beginning to finish; and our liking for the two simple people who are the successors to the title mounts steadily, and ends almost in respect.'—Scotsman.
'The book is quite worthy to be ranked with many clever predecessors. It is excellent reading.'—Glasgow Herald.
