=THE COURTSHIP OF MORRICE BUCKLER.= By A. E. W. MASON.
_PUNCH._—“Readers will, unless gratitude be extinct, thank me for my
strong recommendation as to the excellent entertainment provided
for them in _The Courtship of Morrice Buckler_.”
_GRAPHIC._—“A fine stirring narrative it is. Mr. Mason is a new
recruit to the growing school of historical romancers in which Mr.
Stanley Weyman and Mr. Conan Doyle are conspicuous figures, and he
promises to make himself well worthy of his company. The ‘Record
of the Growth of an English Gentleman during the years 1685–1687
under strange and difficult circumstances’ is a gallant and
chivalrous story, cast in a period and among scenes of which I, at
least, am never tired of reading.”
=HIS HONOR AND A LADY.= By Mrs. EVERARD COTES (SARA JEANNETTE DUNCAN).
Illustrated by A. D. MCCORMICK.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._—“We are inclined to place it as the best book
that Mrs. Everard Cotes has yet written. The story is exceedingly
well told, is everywhere witty. It has that charm of atmosphere
which India yields so readily for the canvas of a consummate
artist.”
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“This is a fascinating story of Anglo-Indian
life, accurate in detail and true to nature. The authoress has not
only maintained the high standard of her _Simple Adventures of a
Mem-Sahib_, but surpassed it. This is praise, but true.”
=ADAM JOHNSTONE’S SON.= By F. MARION CRAWFORD.
_DAILY NEWS._—“Mr. Crawford has written stories richer in incident
and more powerful in intention, but we do not think that he has
handled more deftly or shown a more delicate insight into
tendencies that go towards making some of the more spiritual
tragedies of life.”
_SPEAKER._—“A book to be enjoyed by everybody.”
=THE RELEASE, OR CAROLINE’S FRENCH KINDRED.= By CHARLOTTE M. YONGE.
=DENIS. A Study in Black and White.= By Mrs. E. M. FIELD.
=TOM GROGAN.= By F. HOPKINSON SMITH. With Illustrations by CHARLES S.
REINHART.
_GLASGOW HERALD._—“A clever bit of character study.”
MACMILLAN AND CO., LTD., LONDON.
MESSRS. MACMILLAN AND CO.’S PUBLICATIONS.
_BY RUDYARD KIPLING._
=THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK.= With Illustrations by J. LOCKWOOD KIPLING.
Twenty-first Thousand.
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._—“The appearance of _The Second Jungle Book_ is a
literary event of which no one will mistake the importance. Unlike
most sequels, the various stories comprised in the new volume are
at least equal to their predecessors.”
=THE JUNGLE BOOK.= With Illustrations by J. L. KIPLING, W. H. DRAKE,
and P. FRENZENY. Twenty-eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.
