"A thoroughly enjoyable novel, full of fresh, original, and accurate pictures of life long gone by."--_Daily News._ "A strikingly realistic romance."--_Morning Post._ "A stirring story.... Mr. Crockett's style is charming. My Baronite never knew how musical and picturesque is Scottish-English till he read this book."--_Punch._ "The youngsters have their Stevenson, their Barrie, and now a third writer has entered the circle, S. R. Crockett, with a lively and jolly book of adventures, which the paterfamilias pretends to buy for his eldest son, but reads greedily himself and won't let go till he has turned over the last page.... Out of such historical elements and numberless local traditions the author has put together an exciting tale of adventures on land and sea."--_Frankfurter Zeitung._ _SOME SCOTCH NOTICES._ "Galloway folk should be proud to rank 'The Raiders' among the classics of the district."--_Scotsman._ "Mr. Crockett's 'The Raiders' is one of the great literary successes of the season."--_Dundee Advertiser._ "Mr. Crockett has achieved the distinction of having produced the book of the season."--_Dumfries and Galloway Standard._ "The story told in it is, as a story, nearly perfect."--_Aberdeen Daily Free Press._ "'The Raiders' is one of the most brilliant efforts of recent fiction."--_Kirkcudbrightshire Advertiser._ TROOPER PETER HALKET OF MASHONALAND BY OLIVE SCHREINER Author of "Dreams," "Real Life and Dream Life," &c. _Crown 8vo., cloth_, 2s. 6d. "We advise our readers to purchase and read Olive Schreiner's new book 'Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland.' Miss Schreiner is one of the few magicians of modern English literature, and she has used the great moral, as well as the great literary, force of her style to great effect."--_Daily Chronicle._ "The story is one that is certain to be widely read, and it is well that it should be so, especially at this moment; it grips the heart and haunts the imagination. To have written such a book is to render a supreme service, for it is as well to know what the rough work means of subjugating inferior races."--_Daily News._ "Some of the imaginative passages are very fine.... The book is powerfully written."--_Scotsman._ "Is well and impressively written."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ THE MERMAID SERIES The Best Plays of the Old Dramatists.
