Messrs. MACMILLAN & CO.'S NEW NOVELS.
JILL. By E. A. Dillwyn. 2 vols. Globe 8vo. 12s.
"A very lively and spirited story, written with a good deal of the realism of such authors as Defoe, and describing the experiences of a young lady.... Extremely entertaining and life like. It will be seen from this that Miss Dillwyn has hit perfectly the tone of sincere biography."—The Spectator.
"A very original autobiographical narrative, so cynically frank and so delightfully piquant, that it is quite a marvel. Read with understanding, the narrative is not uninstructive; it is certainly well worth reading for entertainment only."—The St. James's Gazette.
A ROMAN SINGER. By F. Marion Crawford. Author of "Mr. Isaacs," "Doctor Claudius." Crown 8vo. 6s.
"We are not making use of conventionalities of criticism when we call this a masterpiece of narrative.... In Mr. Crawford's skilful hands it is unlike any other romance in English literature.... The characters in the novel possess strong individuality, brought out simply by the native stress of the story."—The Times.
"Mr. Crawford's new book is in its way as much a success as his previous productions.... This charming novel."—Morning Post.
"Mr. Crawford's new book is likely to be popular.... He is much stronger with character and emotion, and in these matters 'A Roman Singer' leaves little to be desired.... The story is full of exciting interest, is told with remarkable directness and vigour."—The Athenæum.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
MISS TOMMY: A MEDIÆVAL ROMANCE. By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman." Crown 8vo. 6s.
"The book has what the author would call a 'mediæval' charm of its own, and reading it is like smelling at a china bowl of last year's roses."—St. James's Gazette.
