An Old English Home and Its Dependencies
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
England -- Social life and customs
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a
conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life
are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic,
the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his
characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people,
are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his
descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes
and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and
never dull, and it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence
in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year
his popularity widens.'--_Court Circular._

THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE.
'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker
has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not
interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a dull
person indeed.'--_Daily Chronicle._
THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. _Illustrated. Sixth Edition._
'A rousing and dramatic tale. A book like this, in which swords
flash, great surprises are undertaken, and daring deeds done, in
which men and women live and love in the old passionate way, is a joy
inexpressible.'--_Daily Chronicle._
WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC: The Story of a Lost Napoleon. _Fourth
Edition._
'Here we find romance--real, breathing, living romance. The character
of Valmond is drawn unerringly. The book must be read, we may say
re-read, for any one thoroughly to appreciate Mr. Parker's delicate
touch and innate sympathy with humanity.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
AN ADVENTURER OF THE NORTH: The Last Adventures of 'Pretty Pierre.'
_Second Edition._
'The present book is full of fine and moving stories of the
great North, and it will add to Mr. Parker's already high
reputation.'--_Glasgow Herald._
