"Mrs. Oliphant is one of the most admirable of our novelists. In her works there are always to be found high principle, good taste, sense, and refinement. 'Agnes' is a story whose pathetic beauty will appeal irresistibly to all readers."--_Morning Post._ A ROSE IN JUNE. "'A Rose in June' is as pretty as its title. The story is one of the best and most touching which we owe to the industry and talent of Mrs. Oliphant, and may hold its own with even 'The Chronicles of Carlingford.'"--_Times._ PHOEBE, JUNIOR. "This last 'Chronicle of Carlingford' not merely takes rank fairly beside the first which introduced us to 'Salem Chapel,' but surpasses all the intermediate records. Phoebe, Junior, herself is admirably drawn."--_Academy._ LIFE OF THE REV. EDWARD IRVING. "A good book on a most interesting theme."--_Times._ "A truly interesting and most affecting memoir. 'Irving's Life' ought to have a niche in every gallery of religious biography. There are few lives that will be fuller of instruction, interest, and consolation."--_Saturday Review._ LONDON: HURST AND BLACKETT, LIMITED. WORKS BY GEORGE MAC DONALD, LL.D. _Each in One Volume, Frontispiece, and Uniformly Bound, Price 5s._ ALEC FORBES OF HOWGLEN. "No account of this story would give any idea of the profound interest that pervades the work from the first page to the last."--_Athenæum._ "A novel of uncommon merit. Sir Walter Scott said he would advise no man to try to read 'Clarissa Harlowe' out loud in company if he wished to keep his character for manly superiority to tears. We fancy a good many hardened old novel-readers will feel a rising in the throat as they follow the fortunes of Alec and Annie."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "The whole story is one of surpassing excellence and beauty."--_Daily News._ "This book is full of good thought and good writing. Dr. Mac Donald looks in his stories more to the souls of men and women than to their social outside. He reads life and Nature like a true poet."--_Examiner._ ROBERT FALCONER. "'Robert Falconer' is a work brimful of life and humour and of the deepest human interest. It is a work to be returned to again and again for the deep and searching knowledge it evinces of human thoughts and feelings."--_Athenæum._ "This story abounds in exquisite specimens of the word-painting in which Dr. Mac Donald excels, charming transcripts of Nature, full of light, air, and colour."--_Saturday Review._ "This noble story displays to the best advantage all the powers of Dr. Mac Donald's genius."--_Illustrated London News._ "'Robert Falconer' is the noblest work of fiction that Dr. Mac Donald has yet produced."--_British Quarterly Review._ "The dialogues in 'Robert Falconer' are so finely blended with humour and pathos as to make them in themselves an intellectual treat to which the reader returns again and again."--_Spectator._ DAVID ELGINBROD.
