THE BURNING OF ROME.
By MRS. F. A. STEEL.
The story is a delightful one, with a good plot, an abundance of action and incident, well and naturally drawn characters, excellent in sentiment, and with a good ending. Its interest begins with the opening paragraph, and is well sustained to the end. Mrs. Steel touches all her stories with the hand of a master, and she is yet to write one that is any way dull or uninteresting.—The Christian at Work.
MISS STUART'S LEGACY.
By PAUL CUSHING.
... A first-class detective story. Not a detective story of the ordinary blood-and-thunder kind, but a really good story, that is told in a vigorous and attractive way.... It is full of incident and especially good dialogue. The people in it really talk. The story is well worth reading.—Commercial Gazette.
THE GREAT CHIN EPISODE.
By MARY A. DICKENS.
Felicitous in style and simple enough in plot, it is powerfully vivid and dramatic, and well sustains the interest throughout.... There is a vein of grave pleasantry in the earlier portion of the work, which has to be abandoned as the tragic portion of it develops; but it is sufficient to show that the writer possesses the charm of pleasant recital when she wishes to exert it, as becomes her father's daughter.—The Catholic World.
