"This history is studiously impartial ... a valuable and important contribution to Irish history."--_Scotsman._ NEW NOVELS For the AUTUMN, 1919. _Each in crown 8vo, cloth_, +6s. 9d.+ _net_. Sanity Jane By COUNTESS BARCYNSKA Author of "The Honey Pot" (60th Thousand), "Love Maggy," etc. This novel is almost certain to be in very great demand. It is a live book, and Sanity is a very real girl. The book is distinctive, and a most intriguing situation is created when the man Sanity loves believes her to be the woman--a stranger to him--who is to provide the compromising circumstances necessary for his wife to obtain, "by arrangement," her divorce. The author, in taking Sanity through her very interesting career, deals in her characteristic manner with life and people as one finds them to-day. The Death Drum By MARGARET PETERSON Author of "To Love," "Butterfly Wings," "The Lure of the Little Drum," etc. As in her last novel, "The Sword Points of Love," Miss Peterson has chosen East Africa as the background for her new story. It is based on a native superstition that very few white people know anything about, but which may in time cause trouble. It has, at any rate, provided the author with a fine idea for her novel, and she has made the best possible use of it. The book is absorbingly interesting, full of thrilling incident and adventure, and with many touches of native life that are particularly effective, coming as they do from one who is living among them. Panther A Comedy of Morals By R. A. FOSTER-MELLIAR Author of "Blindstone," "And Betty Too," etc. A novel of country life, in which there is a good mixture of love-making, hunting, intrigue, and almost murder. Two well-contrasted and charming girls divide the honours as heroines, and uncertainty as to what will happen to them is well kept up. There are some very interesting characters capitally portrayed, and, above all, there is a really good story well told in uncommonly good writing. The Air Pirate By C. RANGER-GULL Author of "The Snare of the Fowler," etc. The author dates his story forward, when rapid transit and transport will be carried on by air. One of the great points about it is that the author is the first in the field with his idea. The Air Pirate, a mysterious figure, who had been a daring airman in the Great War, has his lair in Cornwall, and raids the Atlantic with a wonderful airship. There is a love story, in which a young English baronet of the Government Air Police is the hero and a beautiful young actress the heroine. She is carried off to Cornwall by the pirate, who is in love with her, in his airship, and then follow many thrilling adventures in the efforts of her young lover to discover her. One sensation follows another rapidly, and the reader is kept in breathless suspense all through. It is the best thing the author has yet done. Love and the Cardinal By J. H. SYMONS Author of "The Supreme Mystery"
