An Engagement of Convenience: A Novel
Zangwill, Louis
Fiction
"She writes admirably, and in 'Eve and the Wood God' she has given us
a book that can be read with pleasure--a remark that is not always
applicable to novels of present-day life."--_Black and White._
NEW EDITION.
The Gaiety of Fatma.
By KATHLEEN WATSON.
Author of "Litanies of Life." Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt. 6s.
This is a novel in quite an unusual vein. Fatma is a maiden of Arabian
and French descent, who is married, during his last illness, to an
English nobleman wintering in Algeria. The bulk of the book is taken up
with her introduction to English Society, and the sensation she creates
therein.

"It stirs the pulse like a close ride to hounds or a stiff finish to
a well-fought race."-_Standard._
The Sunset Trail.
By A. H. LEWIS.
Author of "The President," and "Wolfville Days." Illustrated. 6s.
"The smell of the open air haunts every page. One could hardly say
more for such a volume than that it is worthy of comparison with Bret
Harte at his best, and that can be said without hesitation."--_Daily
Express._
The Making of a Man.
By E. H. LACON WATSON.
Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt. 6s.
"All may read it for the sake of the light and genial touch displayed
in the treatment of life. Comedy is here plentifully provided and is
of the best."--_Daily Graphic._
Christopher Deane.
By E. H. LACON WATSON.
A New and Cheaper Edition of this Story of Winchester and Cambridge.
With Frontispiece. 3s. 6d.
"A review of 'Christopher Deane' must necessarily harp upon the two
notes 'charming' and 'wholesome,' because there is no part of this
straightforward story of how two manly boys grew up to be Englishmen
of the best public school and University type which does not deserve
one or both of these adjectives."--_Week's Survey._
Playmates; or, Studies in Child Life.
By Rev. H. MAYNARD SMITH, M.A.
Author of "In Playtime" and "Church Teaching at Home."
Crown 8vo, cloth, extra, 2s. 6d. net.
"We conclude our too brief notice of the volume by saying that the
child-lover will revel in it, whilst it may well turn the child-hater
from the error of his ways. As we read, we were startled by coming
upon a short paper on Charles Lamb, whose mantle, by the way, it
seems to us, has fallen, in no slight degree, upon Mr. Maynard Smith;
nor can we repress the thought that if the great essayist had had the
privilege of reading these pages, he would never have perpetrated the
atrocity, with which tradition charges him, of toasting the memory of
Herod the Great."--_Church Family Newspaper._
NEW AND CHEAP EDITION.
Reflections of a Householder.
By E. H. LACON WATSON.
