This was the book with which Miss Robins first won her great reputation as a novelist. The scene is laid in America, and the story is described by the author as a "study of two temperaments." THE MONEY MARKET. E. F. Benson. A brilliant study of London society and of the strife between love and the power of purse. THE LUCK OF THE VAILS. E. F. Benson. In this story of modern country-house life Mr. Benson mingles mystery, intrigue, and comedy with the skill of which he alone has the secret. THE POTTER'S THUMB. Flora Annie Steel. "Sometimes the potter's thumb slips in the moulding, so in the firing the pot cracks." Mrs. Steel's brilliant study of Anglo-Indian life is based upon this text. It is one of the most dramatic and moving of her Indian novels. ON THE FACE OF THE WATERS. Flora Annie Steel. This book is generally regarded as Mrs. Steel's masterpiece. It is a story of the Indian Mutiny, and contains a wonderful picture of the heroism of English men and women in that time of terror. THE HOUSE OF THE WOLF. Stanley J. Weyman. This, one of the first of Mr. Weyman's famous novels, deals with France in the time of the Huguenot wars, and contains a brilliant picture of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD. A. Courlander. This realistic story of life on a great London newspaper is probably the best novel of journalism ever written. A WALKING GENTLEMAN. James Prior. In this delightful fantasia a young peer, on the eve of his marriage, walks out of his park into the world of common folk, and in the adventures which follow finds that zest for life which he had hitherto found wanting. BROTHERS. H. A. Vachell. The publishers are happy to be able to add to the Nelson Library Mr. Vachell's most famous novel, one of the most successful of recent years. It is a brilliant study of character, full of drama and profound humanity. THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A. Conan Doyle. The doings of this soldier of Napoleon have long been among Sir A. Conan Doyle's most popular achievements in the art of fiction. As Mr. Merriman's Barlasch represents the graver type of French veteran, so Brigadier Gerard represents the dash and braggadocio of the Grande Armee. WHITE HEATHER. William Black. This charming love story is one of the most popular of Mr. Black's romances of Highland life and sport. SIMON DALE. Anthony Hope. This is Mr. Anthony Hope's only historical novel. It deals with the Court of Charles II., and gives a brilliant picture of that complex age, relieved by a charming love story. A GENTLEMAN OF FRANCE. Stanley J. Weyman. This is the first novel by which Mr. Weyman won his great reputation. It is a tale of France during the religious wars of the sixteenth century, and has long ranked as one of the most brilliant historical romances of our day. THE WAR IN THE AIR. H. G. Wells.
