“Mr. Leadbitter has added to a growing reputation for fine work by this novel, which cannot be overlooked by any reader of serious fiction.”—_Saturday Review._ “It would be hardly possible to overpraise its solid strength and subtle insight into human nature. A book almost perfectly done.”—_Bookman._ Shepherd’s Warning Cr. 8vo, 7_s._ 6_d._ _net_. (_Second Impression._) “Without any special heralding Mr. Leadbitter seems to have stepped into the front rank, perhaps even to the leadership of those active novelists whose theme is English rural life. I emphasize the word ‘active’ with, of course, a thought for the master of them all, the wizard of Dorchester, at whose feet it would probably be fair to suppose Mr. Leadbitter learnt some, at least, of his craft. His new story is a tale that conquers by its direct humanity, and by an art so delicate and so deftly concealed that the book has a deceptive appearance of having written itself without effort on the part of its author. ‘Shepherd’s Warning’ will, I think, prove ‘Reader’s Delight.’”—_Punch._ “Now and again a novel comes into one’s hands which by its title and outward air seems to hold a promise of distinction which is fulfilled within. Mr. Eric Leadbitter’s new story is such a one. His name on it, recalling the subtle beauties of his ‘Perpetual Fires,’ no doubt adds to ‘Shepherd’s Warning’ as a title the suggestion of delicacy and charm, and at any rate these pervade its pages. A disinterested good workman, we congratulate him on this fresh example of his beautifully delicate art.”—_Morning Post._ “Old Bob Garrett and his grandchildren are conceived in a spirit of mere honesty for which no praise can be too strong.”—_Daily News._ _By Alfred Ollivant_ One Woman—Sequel to “Two Men” Cr. 8vo. (_In Preparation_). _8s. 6d. net._ Two Men: A Romance of Sussex Cr. 8vo. _7s. net._ “One of the most notable novels of the year ... comes so near being something very big that the chief thing to be guarded against is unwise enthusiasm.”—_Daily Chronicle._ “Unquestionably the best book he has yet written, the characters are drawn with the vividness of life itself ... the women are drawn with the hand of a master.”—_Country Life._ “This superb novel ... brilliant in its characterization and intensely engrossing in its human interest.”—_Sussex Daily News._ Danny Cr. 8vo. _7s. 6d. net._ Mr. Alfred Ollivant’s “Danny,” the book which succeeded “Owd Bob,” was published in 1903. In this country it has been out of print for many years, and in America Mr. Ollivant withdrew it almost immediately after publication. The author has recently achieved a long-cherished ambition, and has completely re-written the book. “The book is notable for the fineness of its sympathy and the delicacy of its natural wit.”—_Times._ The Gentleman: A Romance of the Sea Cr. 8vo. _6s. 6d. net._
