"Another series of sketches of island life in the South Seas, not
inferior to those contained in 'By Reef and Palm.'"--_Speaker_.

about and has a keen eye for the picturesque."--G. B. BURGIN in
_To-day_.
"A notable contribution to the romance of the South Seas."--T. P.
O'CONNOR, M.P., in _The Graphic_.
PADDY'S WOMAN
BY
HUMPHREY JAMES
Crown 8vo, 6s.
"Traits of the Celt of humble circumstances are copied with keen
appreciation and unsparing accuracy."--_Scotsman_.
"....... They are full of indescribable charm and pathos."--_Bradford
Observer_.
"The outstanding merit of this series of stories is that they are
absolutely true to life .... the photographic accuracy and minuteness
displayed are really marvellous."--_Aberdeen Free Press_.
"'Paddy's Woman and Other Stories' by Humphrey James; a volume written
in the familiar diction of the Ulster people themselves, with perfect
realism and very remarkable ability.... For genuine human nature and
human relations, and humour of an indescribable kind, we are unable to
cite a rival to this volume."--_The World_.
"For a fine subtle piece of humour we are inclined to think that 'A
Glass of Whisky' takes a lot of beating.... In short Mr. Humphrey
James has given us a delightful book, and one which does as much credit
to his heart as to his head. We shall look forward with a keen
anticipation to the next 'writings' by this shrewd, 'cliver,' and
compassionate young author."--_Bookselling_.
