Conduct of life -- Fiction; Fantasy fiction; Parables
=Bookman.=—“We have some charming comedy—a double love interest and
some clever characterisation. A book which is altogether clever and
entertaining throughout.”
=The Love Thirst of Elaine.= By S. J. ADAIR FITZ-GERALD (Author of
“Fame the Fiddler,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
=When it was Dark.= By GUY THORNE (Author of “The Oven,” &c.) Crown
8vo, cloth, 6s.
=A Tragic Contract.= By MOUNT HOUMAS. Crown 8vo., cloth, 6s.
=Scotsman.=—“A story that carries the reader easily along with it by
the vivacity of its movement. It is written with a pleasant animation
which should not fail to afford enjoyment.”
=Glasgow Herald.=—“The book evinces strength of conception, and vigour
and grace of elaboration, of which, presumably, more will presently be
heard.”
=Dundee Courier.=—“The book is a delightful one. It is a dramatic
tale, well told, and is to be highly commended.”
=King Philip the Gay.= By REGINALD TURNER (Author of “The Comedy of
Progress,” “The Steeple,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
=The Steeple.= A novel by REGINALD TURNER (Author of “The Comedy of
Progress,” and “Cynthia’s Damages.”) Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
=The Times.=—“Few readers who take it up will readily lay it down....
Mr. Turner is successful, and his sketches of men, women, and creeds
are, generally speaking, humorous, shrewd, and suggestive.”
=Observer.=—“A very well told story; the characters are drawn with
much freshness and clearness of delineation.... Bright and lively
without being flippant. Mr. Turner’s story is decidedly entertaining
and well written, and will probably be popular.”
=Outlook.=—“A purposeful story altogether out of the common ruck. It
is both daring and convincing. The portrait of Frank Lester is surely
as coolly relentless a thing as has been done for a long time.... It
is excellently and pitilessly done.... We would quote some contingent
excellencies. The chief, perhaps, is Mr. Turner’s dash in carrying off
an extravagant situation.... His, also, is the gift of broad, almost
farcical characterisation. And to these must be added a brisk turn in
narrative, of which scarce a page lacks shining example.”
=Mrs. Evelyn’s Husbands.= By THE COMTESSE DE BREMONT (Author of
“Daughters of Pleasure,” “A Son of Africa,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth,
6s.
=Wolves.= A novel by ROBT. H. SHERARD. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

Misadventure,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
=Mr. Incoul’s Misadventure.= A novel by EDGAR SALTUS. Crown 8vo,
cloth, 6s.
=Morning Post.=—“An undeniably powerful work.”
