‘A budget of good fiction of which no one will tire.’—Scotsman.
W. E. Norris. CLARISSA FURIOSA. By W. E. Norris, Author of ‘The Rogue,’ etc. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘One of Mr. Norris’s very best novels. As a story it is admirable, as a jeu d’esprit it is capital, as a lay sermon studded with gems of wit and wisdom it is a model which will not, we imagine, find an efficient imitator.’—The World.
‘The best novel he has written for some time: a story which is full of admirable character-drawing.’—The Standard.
Robert Barr. IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS. By Robert Barr. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘A book which has abundantly satisfied us by its capital humour.’—Daily Chronicle.
‘Mr. Barr has achieved a triumph whereof he has every reason to be proud.’—Pall Mall Gazette.
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.
