The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her father an officer in India--to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris. The accounts of the various persons who have an after influence on the story are singularly vivid. "_Margery Merton's Girlhood_ is a piece of true literature, as dainty as it is delicate, and as sweet as it is simple."--_Woman's World._ ELIZA F. POLLARD For the Red Rose. With 4 Illustrations by JAMES DURDEN. 2s. 6d. A gipsy finds a little girl in the forest of Wimbourne, after the sacking of the castle by the Yorkists. He carries her to the camp and she is adopted by the tribe. The story tells how, when some years later Margaret of Anjou and her son are wrecked on the coast of England, the gipsy girl follows the fortunes of the exiled queen, and by what curious chain of events her own origin is discovered. "This is a good story, and of special interest to lovers of historical romance."--_Court Circular._ MRS. E. J. LYSAGHT Brother and Sister: With 6 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 3s. 6d. A story showing, by the narrative of the vicissitudes and struggles of a family which has "come down in the world", and of the brave endeavours of its two younger members, how the pressure of adversity is mitigated by domestic affection, mutual confidence, and hopeful honest effort. "A pretty story, and well told. The plot is cleverly constructed, and the moral is excellent."--_Athenaeum._ ANNE BEALE The Heiress of Courtleroy. With 8 full-page Illustrations by T. C. H. CASTLE. 5s. Mimica, the heroine, comes to England as an orphan, and is coldly received by her uncle. The girl has a brave nature, however, and succeeds in saving the estate from ruin and in reclaiming her uncle from the misanthropical disregard of his duties as a landlord. "One of the very best of girl's books we have seen."--_Sheffield Telegraph._ SARAH TYTLER A Loyal Little Maid. With 4 page Illustrations by PAUL HARDY. 2s. 6d. This pretty story is founded on a romantic episode of Mar's rebellion. A little girl has information which concerns the safety of her father in hiding, and this she firmly refuses to divulge to a king's officer. She is lodged in the Tolbooth, where she finds a boy champion, whom in future years she rescues in Paris from the _lettre de cachet_ which would bury him in the Bastille. "Has evidently been a pleasure to write, and makes very enjoyable reading."--_Literature._ * * * * * [Illustration: _From THE FAIRCLOUGH FAMILY_ BY MRS.
