"Novel-readers wishing to be entertained, and deeply interested in character and incident, will find their curiosity wholesomely gratified by the graphic pages of 'Dene Hollow,' an excellent novel, without the drawbacks of wearisome digressions and monotonous platitudes so common in the chapters of modern fiction."--THE MORNING POST. 21. EDINA. _FORTY-FIFTH THOUSAND._ "The whole situation of the book is clever, and the plot is well managed."--ACADEMY. "Edina's character is beautifully drawn."--THE LITERARY WORLD. 22. A LIFE'S SECRET. _SIXTY-FIFTH THOUSAND._ "Now that the rights of capital and labour are being fully inquired into, Mrs. Wood's story of 'A Life's Secret' is particularly opportune and interesting. It is based upon a plot that awakens curiosity and keeps it alive throughout. The hero and heroine are marked with individuality, the love-passages are finely drawn, and the story developed with judgment."--THE CIVIL SERVICE GAZETTE. "If Mrs. Wood's book does not tend to eradicate the cowardice, folly, and slavish submission to lazy agitators among the working men, all we can say is that it ought to do so, for it is at once well written, effective, and truthful."--THE ILLUSTRATED TIMES. 23. COURT NETHERLEIGH. _FORTY-SIXTH THOUSAND._ "We always open one of Mrs. Wood's novels with pleasure, because we are sure of being amused and interested."--THE TIMES. "Lisez-le; l'émotion que vous sentirez peu à peu monter à votre coeur est saine et fortifiante. Lisez-le; c'est un livre honnête sorti d'une plume honnête et vous pourrez le laisser traîner sur la table."--LE SIGNAL (_Paris_). 24. LADY GRACE. _TWENTY-FIRST THOUSAND._ "'Lady Grace' worthily continues a series of novels thoroughly English in feeling and sentiment, and which fairly illustrate many phases of our national life."--MORNING POST. 25. BESSY RANE. _FORTY-SECOND THOUSAND._ "The power to draw minutely and carefully each character with characteristic individuality in word and action is Mrs. Wood's especial gift. This endows her pages with a vitality which carries the reader to the end, and leaves him with the feeling that the veil which in real life separates man from man has been raised, and that he has for once seen and known certain people as intimately as if he had been their guardian angel. This is a great fascination."--THE ATHENÆUM. 26. THE UNHOLY WISH. _FIFTEENTH THOUSAND._ "The characters and situations of which the author made her books are, indeed, beyond criticism; their interest has been proved by the experience of generations."--PALL-MALL GAZETTE. 27. JOHNNY LUDLOW. +Third Series.+ _TWENTY-THIRD THOUSAND._ "The peculiar and unfailing charm of Mrs. Wood's style has rarely been more apparent than in this succession of chronicles, partly of rustic life, some relating to the fortunes of persons in a higher class, but all remarkable for an easy simplicity of tone, true to nature."--MORNING POST. 28. THE MASTER OF GREYLANDS.
