IN THE FLOWER OF HER YOUTH. By MABEL COLLINS, Author of “Too Red a Dawn,”
“An Innocent Sinner,” &c. 3 vols.
“Miss Collins’s ably-written story is likely to be well
received.”—_Athenæum._
“Miss Collins is acquiring more strength and facility as
she continues in authorship. The tale before us has some
well-conceived situations.”—_Academy._
“Miss Collins has evidently thrown her whole heart into her
work, for many passages are full of eloquence and fire. The
pathetic scenes are composed with a power of detail that in
many cases will thrill the reader. Engrossing as are the first
and second volumes, the third far excels either.... Miss
Collins is the author of several stories of fiction, for which
she has obtained the good opinion of her admirers, but ‘In the
Flower of Her Youth’ far excels her former efforts.”—_Public
Opinion._
“Miss Collins may certainly be congratulated on having
maintained, so far as the story itself is concerned, the
originality of style which distinguishes her previous
books.”—_John Bull._
“Brough, however, is sketched with so much fidelity that the
portrait will certainly be recognised by those who remember
the brilliant, genial, and jovial original who, not so many
years ago, used to shoulder his way along Fleet-street and
the Strand, and was once, by the way, a familiar figure in
the streets of Nottingham.... The description of Siena is
charming—a complete picture without dry detailed literalness,
and replete with poetic feeling. ‘In the Flower of Her Youth’
is in almost all respects an able, and in many respects a
powerful, book.”—_Nottingham Daily Guardian._
ON DANGEROUS GROUND. By MISS EDITH STEWART DREWRY. 3 vols.
_SECOND EDITION OF_
A PEERESS OF 1882. By MRS. ALEXANDER FRASER, Author of “Guardian and
Lover,” “A Professional Beauty,” &c. 3 vols.
“A wide popularity may safely be anticipated.”—_Morning Post._
“Those who delight in love stories have a feast in store in
these three volumes.”—_Modern Society._
_THIRD EDITION OF_
FACING THE FOOTLIGHTS. By FLORENCE MARRYAT, Author of “My Sister the
Actress,” “A Broken Blossom,” &c. 3 vols.
“‘Facing the Footlights,’ as its name indicates, is highly
melodramatic.”—_Athenæum._
“... Is at once an entertaining and well-written romance....
The characters are admirably drawn.... We must congratulate
the authoress on the production of a really excellent
novel.”—_Court Circular._
“... The story is interesting and well worked out.”—_St.
James’s Gazette._
FRIENDS AND LOVERS. By ANNIE THOMAS (Mrs. Pender Cudlip), Author of
“Denis Donne,” “Allerton Towers,” &c., &c. 3 vols.
“The incidents of the story become most interesting from the
charm of the writer’s style.”—_Queen._
