"The work is worth ten ordinary novels, for it takes us through the externals of worship, chivalry, and love, on that elusive quest upon which practically every human being sooner or later sets out, in the search of things-as-they-are instead of things-as-they-appear."--_Daily Mail_. "In its bitterest moments, when the hero is torn with doubts and stress, there is a rich vein of humanity, dignity, and intense refinement running through it all, and the vigour and beauty of the telling remain in the memory when the triumphant ending is forgotten.--_Pall Mall Gazette_. "’Pilgrimage’ is a sincere, ennobling piece of work. The author’s earnestness of purpose, and true literary instinct, have enabled him to perform a most difficult task with rare success."--_Daily Graphic_. "A remarkable, arresting book, written in beautiful chaste English, with a strong elevating purpose."--_Sheffield Telegraph_. "Thus we have a profoundly spiritual book, striking to the very depths of the human soul, and yet presenting with meritorious skill the atmosphere of the life it depicts so as to give us not merely a philosophical study but a series of charming pictures."--_Liverpool Daily Post_. "It is impossible not to be impressed by the sincerity of its outlook, and the careful deliberate workmanship which has been bestowed upon every part of it."--_Daily Telegraph_. "It is a beautiful parable, and ’Pilgrimage’ will make a strong appeal to those who appreciate earnest effort in fiction."--_Scotsman_. * * * * * *MISS ESPERANCE & MR. WYCHERLY.* *By Mrs. L. ALLEN HARKER. Fourth Impression. 6s.* "If you want to give yourself a delightful treat get ’Miss Esperance and Mr. Wycherly, and enjoy every word of it. The book so absolutely charmed me that the moment I had finished it I turned back to the first page and read it through again.... I shall read it a third time very soon."--_Truth_. "Having given the necessary time for the critical spirit to get even with emotion, we may say that it is long since we have read a book so full of tenderness, humanity, and charm. It should take very high rank indeed and pass into the list of those books which are not disposed of when the year is over.... The book is pure gold."--_Daily Telegraph_. *SEPTIMUS.* *By WILLIAM J. LOCKE, Author of "The Beloved Vagabond."* *Sixth Impression. 6s.* _Truth_ says: "If you want a perfectly delightful book, get W. J. Locke’s ’Septimus.’ "A whimsical, delightful story, full of quaint humour."--_Westminster Gazette_. "Unquestionably Mr. Locke’s ’Septimus’ is one of the most original and most entirely delightful novels of recent years. It is written with fresh humour and rare sympathy; its analysis of character is masterly."--_Birmingham Post_. *THE GENTLEMAN.*
