“A very pleasant, healthy story, well and artistically told. The book is sure of a wide circle of readers. The character of Hannah is one of rare beauty.”--_Standard._ “A powerful novel of social and domestic life. One of the most successful efforts of a successful novelist.”--_Daily News._ XLIV.--SAM SLICK’S AMERICANS AT HOME. “This is one of the most amusing books that we ever read.”--_Standard._ “‘The Americans at Home’ will not be less popular than any of Judge Halliburton’s previous works.”--_Morning Post._ XLV.--THE UNKIND WORD. BY THE AUTHOR OF “JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.” “These stories are gems of narrative. Indeed, some of them, in their touching grace and simplicity, seem to us to possess a charm even beyond the authoress’s most popular novels. Of none of them can this be said more emphatically than of that which opens the series, ‘The Unkind Word.’ It is wonderful to see the imaginative power displayed in the few delicate touches by which this successful love-story is sketched out.”--_The Echo._ XLVI.--A ROSE IN JUNE. BY MRS. OLIPHANT. “‘A Rose in June’ is as pretty as its title. The story is one of the best and most touching which we owe to the industry and talent of Mrs. Oliphant, and may hold its own with even ‘The Chronicles of Carlingford.’”--_Times._ XLVII.--MY LITTLE LADY. BY E. FRANCES POYNTER. “This story presents a number of vivid and very charming pictures. Indeed, the whole book is charming. It is interesting in both character and story, and thoroughly good of its kind.”--_Saturday Review._ XLVIII.--PHŒBE, JUNIOR. BY MRS. OLIPHANT. “This last ‘Chronicle of Carlingford’ not merely takes rank fairly beside the first which introduced us to ‘Salem Chapel,’ but surpasses all the intermediate records. Phœbe, Junior, herself is admirably drawn.”--_Academy._ XLIX.--LIFE OF MARIE ANTOINETTE. BY PROFESSOR CHARLES DUKE YONGE. “A work of remarkable merit and interest, which will, we doubt not, become the most popular English history of Marie Antoinette.”--_Spectator._ L.--SIR GIBBIE. BY GEORGE MAC DONALD, LL.D. “‘Sir Gibbie’ is a book of genius.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._ “This book has power, pathos, and humour.”--_Athenæum._ LI.--YOUNG MRS. JARDINE. BY THE AUTHOR OF “JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.” “‘Young Mrs. Jardine’ is a pretty story, written in pure English.”--_The Times._ “There is much good feeling in this book. It is pleasant and wholesome.”--_Athenæum._ LII.--LORD BRACKENBURY. BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS. “A very readable story. The author has well conceived the purpose of high-class novel-writing, and succeeded in no small measure in attaining it. There is plenty of variety, cheerful dialogue, and general ‘verve’ in the book.”--_Athenæum._ LIII.--IT WAS A LOVER AND HIS LASS. BY MRS. OLIPHANT.
