_THE LATE MISS HOLLINGFORD._
By ROSA MULHOLLAND. With 2 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo,
cloth extra, 1_s._ 6_d._
This story, which was a great favourite of Charles Dickens, and originally
appeared in _All the Year Round_, is of an orphan girl, who, leaving the
gaiety and frivolity of London life, goes to live with an old friend of
her mother at a farm-house. A delightful picture is given of the peaceful
country life; but there is a strangely pathetic drama running through the
quiet narrative, and the troubles which Marjory narrates as having been
her portion in youth are sure to interest all who have sympathetic hearts.

Her Tricks and Troubles. By CLARA MULHOLLAND. With 3 Illustrations
in colours. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._
The story consists of small incidents such as please small listeners, who
will be interested not only in Miss Bunny's naughtiness, but in her
reformation.
"This naughty child is positively delightful. Papas should not
omit 'Naughty Miss Bunny' from their list of juvenile
presents."--_Land and Water._

character study, written precisely in the style that is surest
