Books by Rosaline Masson
In Our Town.
“A romance of Edinburgh which will captivate even a degenerate
Southerner.”--_Guardian._
“A graceful and touching love-story, grafted on much interesting and
detailed description of her city of Edinburgh.”--_Illustrated London
News._
“Full of the atmosphere and legal life of modern
Edinburgh.”--_Literature._
“Lovers of Edinburgh, and all exiled Scots will joy over _In Our
Town_.”--_Outlook._
“Miss Masson knows her Edinburgh thoroughly--its sets, its prejudices,
its pride; and she touches them all gently, wittily, and
thoughtfully.”--_Ladies’ Field._
“Something of the persistent persuasiveness of delightful Jane
Austen.”--_Glasgow Herald._
“A book of more than passing interest.”--_Spectator._
[HODDER & STOUGHTON.
Leslie Farquhar.
“The most attractive Scotch novel we have read for a long
while.”--_Standard._
“A book which in respect of its strength and its beauty of diction, its
excellent portrayal of a wide range of character, and its workmanlike
construction--not the least essential of the novel--deserves to take a
high place in modern fiction.”--_Scotsman._
