"There are not many books written nowadays that will keep a tired man up till the small hours of the morning. This is one of them."—Newcastle Chronicle.
Patches and Pomander.
By ARTHUR BREBNER,
Author of 'John Saint.'
A novel of the time of the second Charles and the intrigues of the great Lady Castlemaine. The author has skilfully reproduced the atmosphere of the Court—Brocades and Scent and Lace—the "Glimpses of the Moon"—and here once more the attempt to breathe into those painted Dames that look down on us from our galleries the Breath of Life.
"Picturesque, spirited, vigorous, and romantic, the story has every chance of popularity."—Scotsman.
Second Impression.
Saints, Sinners, and the Usual People.
By St JOHN LUCAS.
"Worth reading again and again."—Times.
