"We think that this is the very best of the many good sketches of Scottish peasant life which we have ever read"--_Standard_. "This remarkable little book. We follow the homely record with an interest which the most sensational drama could not surpass."--_Blackwood's Magazine_. _BY THE SAME AUTHOR._ =1. MY LADY NICOTINE.= Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6_s._ "Humour refined, irresistible, characteristic."--_Echo_. "A very delightful book.

By WALTER RAYMOND, Author of "Gentleman Upcott's Daughter," "Young Sam and Sabina," etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, gilt top. 6_s._ =LONDON IDYLLS.= By W. J. DAWSON. Second Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5_s._ "A collection of stories of much promise. Mr. Dawson has a pleasant style, an easy command of effective expression, and he passes lightly from pathos to humour, or rather he can blend the two with no sensible transition."--_Times_. "In 'London Idylls' W. J. Dawson has written a book that will be treasured. The poem, in which the author seeks to express the indefinable poetry of London, could only have been written by one very nearly attuned to the spirit, to the loves and passions, joys and sorrows of the world's greatest centre of romance. Of the idylls themselves little may be written to convey any real sense of their charm. The themes on which they turn are such as only London could have supplied. Than the first exquisitely rendered story--infinitely simple and tender--it is not too much to say that nothing more heartsearching has been written since the historian of Joe, the crossing-sweeper, laid down his pen. Dickens himself might have wept over it."--_Dundee Advertiser_. _BY THE SAME AUTHOR._
