A Strictly Conventional Story.
In two volumes.
"The author sculpts at least half-a-dozen strong individualities, and introduces us to a variety of shifting scenes, from the studios of artistic Bohemia to mission work in Eastern London. Wherever we are taken we are impressed with the conviction that the author knows what he is writing about, and in the description of the Bloomsbury boarding-house he is humorous enough to remind us of Martin Chuzzlewit's first experiences in New York."—Times.
The Nugents of Carriconna:
A Story More or Less Irish.
Fourth edition in one volume.
"For sheer relaxation there is nothing to beat a really good Irish story, and the reader who fails to enjoy 'The Nugents of Carriconna' must be a person of very peculiar sensibilities. A promising opening is a capital thing in a novel, and Mr. Tighe Hopkins opens admirably. The situation is one which in capable hands might be turned to very good account, and the reader is not long in discovering that the author's hands are very capable indeed. The story of the ill-fated telescope, which is really the pivot upon which the action of the novel revolves, is not only most delightful and original in itself, but is told with so much force, freshness, and prevailing humour, not without a few touches of powerful pathos, that its success may be regarded as certain."—Spectator.
"The Incomplete Adventurer."
In one volume.
"Most humorous and delightful."—Athenæum.
