Miss Corelli’s new romance has been received with much disapprobation by the secular papers, and with warm welcome by the religious papers. By the former she has been accused of blasphemy and bad taste; ‘a gory nightmare’; ‘a hideous travesty’; ‘grotesque vulgarisation’; ‘unworthy of criticism’; ‘vulgar redundancy’; ‘sickening details’—these are some of the secular flowers of speech. On the other hand, the ‘Guardian’ praises ‘the dignity of its conceptions, the reserve round the Central Figure, the fine imagery of the scene and circumstance, so much that is elevating and devout’; the ‘Illustrated Church News’ styles the book ‘reverent and artistic, broad based on the rock of our common nature, and appealing to what is best in it’; the ‘Christian World’ says it is written ‘by one who has more than conventional reverence, who has tried to tell the story that it may be read again with open and attentive eyes’; the ‘Church of England Pulpit’ welcomes ‘a book which teems with faith without any appearance of irreverence.’ =Benson.= DODO: A DETAIL OF THE DAY. By E. F. BENSON. _Crown 8vo. Fourteenth Edition. 6s._ A story of society by a new writer, full of interest and power, which has attracted by its brilliance universal attention. The best critics were cordial in their praise. The ‘Guardian’ spoke of ‘Dodo’ as _unusually clever and interesting_; the ‘Spectator’ called it _a delightfully witty sketch of society_; the ‘Speaker’ said the dialogue was _a perpetual feast of epigram and paradox_; the ‘Athenæum’ spoke of the author as _a writer of quite exceptional ability_; the ‘Academy’ praised his _amazing cleverness_; the ‘World’ said the book was _brilliantly written_; and half-a-dozen papers declared there _was not a dull page in the book_. =Baring Gould.= IN THE ROAR OF THE SEA: A Tale of the Cornish Coast. By S. BARING GOULD. _New Edition. 6s._ =Baring Gould.= MRS. CURGENVEN OF CURGENVEN. By S. BARING GOULD. _Third Edition. 6s._ A story of Devon life. The ‘Graphic’ speaks of it as _a novel of vigorous humour and sustained power_; the ‘Sussex Daily News’ says that _the swing of the narrative is splendid_; and the ‘Speaker’ mentions _its bright imaginative power_. =Baring Gould.= CHEAP JACK ZITA. By S. BARING GOULD. _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ A Romance of the Ely Fen District in 1815, which the ‘Westminster Gazette’ calls ‘a powerful drama of human passion’; and the ‘National Observer’ ‘a story worthy the author.’ =Baring Gould.= THE QUEEN OF LOVE.
