The Red, Red Wine.
BY THE REV. J. JACKSON WRAY.
_Crown 8vo., 330 pp. A portrait of the Author and other illustrations._
_Price 3s. 6d._
"This, as its name implies, is a temperance story, and is told in the
lamented author's most graphic style. We have never read anything so
powerful since 'Danesbury House,' and this book in stern and pathetic
earnestness even excels that widely-known book. It is worthy a place in
every Sunday School and village library; and, as the latest utterance of
one whose writings are so deservedly popular, it is sure of a welcome. It
should give decision to some whose views about Local Option are
hazy."--_Joyful News._
"The story is one of remarkable power."--_The Temperance Record._
"An excellent and interesting story."--_The Temperance Chronicle._
Faces on the Queen's Highway.
BY FLO. JACKSON.
_Elegantly Bound, Crown 8vo., price 2s. 6d._
Though oftenest to be found in a pensive mood, the writer of this very
dainty volume of sketches is always very sweet and winning. She has
evidently a true artist's love of nature, and in a few lines can limn an
autumn landscape full of colour, and the life which is on the down slope.
And she can tell a very taking story, as witness the sketch "At the Inn,"
and "The Master of White Hags," and all her characters are real, live
flesh-and-blood people, who do things naturally, and give very great
pleasure to the reader accordingly. Miss Jackson's gifts are of a very
high order.--_Aberdeen Free Press._
The Doomed Ship; or, The Wreck in the Arctic Regions.
BY WILLIAM HURTON.
_Crown 8vo., Elegantly Bound, Gilt extra, 3s. 6d._
"There is no lack of adventures, and the writer has a matter-of-fact way
of telling them."--_Spectator._
"'The Doomed Ship,' by William Hurton, is a spirited tale of adventures in
the old style of sea-stories. Mr. Hurton seems to enter fully into the
manliness of sea life."--_Idler._
