Mrs. Havelock Ellis is already responsible for two books, one of which was the delightful volume of Cornish sketches entitled “My Cornish Neighbours”; the other “Kit’s Woman,” a fine story of which the characterisation was much admired. “Attainment,” however, is her first attempt at a long novel, and its appearance is being eagerly awaited by a large circle of novel readers. The story is founded on experiments socialistic, philanthropic and idealistic, and points to the value of a natural life in every respect.

The Disinherited of the Earth. By the Author of “The Tower of Siloam.” Mrs. Henry Graham.
6s.
Mrs. Henry Graham’s previous novel, “The Tower of Siloam,” was a notable success, her thorough knowledge of society being at once recognised. For her second book she has chosen a very different phase of life among the wealthy classes, the bigoted Lady Verrier being a distinct creation, whereas in her first book the author did not attempt to overstep the line of conventionality. In “The Disinherited of the Earth,” moreover, a most commendable restraint is to be noted, while the characterisation is excellent throughout.
