"This is a new one-volume edition of one of the prettiest stories that has been written for a long time. It has all the charm and glamour of the most romantic and heroic period of English history yet it never for an instant oversteps the limit of sober fact and probability in the way which mars, so many romantic stories. The tone of the book is absolutely fair and just, and so good qualities of both parties are done justice to. Not that politics as such do more than form a background for the sweet figure of Mistress Beatrice, one of the simplest, most charming, tender, and heroic maidens of fiction. It is a good story well and dramatically told, which gives a life-like picture of the end of the most stirring and heroic period of our national history."--_Queen_. LONDON: HURST AND BLACKETT, LIMITED. _Each in One Volume, Crown Octavo, 3s. 6d._ A MARCH IN THE RANKS. By Jessie Fothergill. "Ever since Mies Jessie Fothergill wrote her admirable first novel, 'The First Violin,' one has looked forward to her succeeding books with interest. The present one is a pleasant book, well-written, well-conceived. A book that is written in good sensible English, and wherein the characters are mostly gentlefolk and 'behave as sich,' is not to be met with every day, and consequently deserves a considerable meed or praise."--_World_. "The characters are so brightly and vividly conceived, and the complications which go to make up the story are so natural, so inevitable, and yet so fresh, that the interest awakened by the opening of the tale never declines until the close, but rather, as is fitting, becomes richer and deeper."--_Academy_. NINETTE. By the Author of 'Vera,' 'Blue Roses,' Etc. "A story of sustained power from beginning to end, it is put together according to the true principles of art; moreover, we congratulate the author upon her hero and heroine. Ninette, in her simple untaught rectitude of conduct, her innate modesty, and child-like faith, recalls some of the happiest touches in the Lucia of the immortal 'Promessi Sposi.'"--_Church Quarterly Review_. "'Ninette' is something more than a novel; it is a careful and elaborate study of life among the Provençal hills, and, as such, deserves special attention. It is a pretty tale of true love, with its usual accompaniments of difficulty and trouble, which are all overcome in the long run."--_Library World_. "'Ninette' is evidently based on long and intimate acquaintance with French rural districts, is excellently written, and cannot fail to please."--_Scotsman_. A CROOKED PATH. By Mrs. Alexander.
