“‘In the Golden Days’ is an excellent novel of a kind we are always particularly glad to recommend. It has a good foundation of plot and incident, a thoroughly noble and wholesome motive, a hero who really acts and suffers heroically, and two very nice heroines. The historical background is very carefully indicated, but is never allowed to become more than background.”--_Guardian._ WON BY WAITING. “The Dean’s daughters are perfectly real characters--the learned Cornelia especially;--the little impulsive French heroine, who endures their cold hospitality and at last wins their affection, is thoroughly charming; while throughout the book there runs a golden thread of pure brotherly and sisterly love, which pleasantly reminds us that the making and marring of marriage is not, after all, the sum total of real life.”--_Academy._ “‘Won by Waiting’ is a very pleasing and well-written tale; full of graphic descriptions of French and English life, with incidents and characters well sustained. A book with such pleasant reading, and with such a healthy tone and influence, is a great boon to the young people in our families.”--_Freeman._ SIX-SHILLING NOVELS EACH IN ONE VOLUME CROWN 8vo. HIS LITTLE MOTHER. By the Author of “John Halifax, Gentleman.” “‘His Little Mother’ is one of those pathetic stories which the author tells better than anybody else.”--_John Bull._ “This book is written with all Mrs. Craik’s grace of style, the chief charm of which, after all, is its simplicity.”--_Glasgow Herald._ MY LORD AND MY LADY. By MRS. FORRESTER. “A very capital novel. The great charm about it is that Mrs. Forrester is quite at home in the society which she describes. It is a book to read.”--_Standard._ “Mrs. Forrester’s style is so fresh and graphic that the reader is kept under its spell from first to last.”--_Morning Post._ SOPHY. By VIOLET FANE. “‘Sophy’ is the clever and original work of a clever woman. Its merits are of a strikingly unusual kind. It is charged throughout with the strongest human interest. It is, in a word, a novel that will make its mark.”--_World._ A HOUSE PARTY. By OUIDA. “‘A House Party’ will be read, firstly, because it is Ouida’s, and, secondly, because of the brightness of the conversations and descriptions. It is indeed more like a comedy than any other of the writer’s books.”--_Globe._ OMNIA VANITAS. By MRS. FORRESTER. “This book is pleasant and well meant. Here and there are some good touches. Sir Ralph is a man worth reading about.”--_Academy._ “This tale is well and cleverly written; the characters are drawn and sustained with considerable power, and the conversation is always bright and lively.”--_Glasgow Herald._ BETRAYAL OF REUBEN HOLT. By BARBARA LAKE. “This novel shows considerable power of writing. There are some striking scenes and incidents.”--_Scotsman._ “This tale displays elevation of thought and feeling, united to no little grace of expression.”--_Post._
