HER MEMORY

By MAARTEN MAARTENS

AUTHOR OF "MY LADY NOBODY," ETC.

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"Full of the quiet grace and literary excellence which we have now learnt to associate with the author."

DAILY NEWS.—"An interesting and characteristic example of this writer's manner. It possesses his sobriety of tone and treatment, his limpidity and minuteness of touch, his keenness of observation.... The book abounds in clever character sketches.... It is very good."

ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—There is something peculiarly fascinating in Mr. Maarten Maartens's new story. It is one of those exquisitely told tales, not unhappy, nor tragic, yet not exactly 'happy,' but full of the pain—as a philosopher has put it—that one prefers, which are read, when the reader is in the right mood, with, at least, a subdued sense of tears, tears of pleasure."

ATHENÆUM.—"Maarten Maartens has never written a brighter social story, and it has higher qualities than brightness."

PALL MALL GAZETTE.—" It is a most delicate bit of workmanship, and the sentiment of it is as exquisite as it is true. All the characters are drawn with rare skill: there is not one that is not an admirable portrait.'

LITERATURE.—"A powerful and sometimes painful study, softened by many touches of pathos and flashes of humour—occasionally of sheer fun. On the whole, it will stand comparison with any of its predecessors for dramatic effect and strength of style."

TRUTH.—"Mr. Maarten Maartens' latest and, perhaps, finest novel."
