"A racy, well-written, and original novel. The interest never flags.
The whole work sparkles with wit and humour."--_Quarterly Review._
XLI.--DAVID ELGINBROD.
BY GEORGE MAC DONALD, LL.D.
"A novel which is the work of a man of genius. It will attract the
highest class of readers."--_Times._
XLII.--A BRAVE LADY.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
"We earnestly recommend this novel. It is a special and worthy specimen
of the author's remarkable powers. The reader's attention never for a
moment flags."--_Post._
"'A Brave Lady' thoroughly rivets the unmingled sympathy of the
reader, and her history deserves to stand foremost among the author's
works."--_Daily Telegraph._
XLIII.--HANNAH.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
"A very pleasant, healthy story, well and artistically told. The book
is sure of a wide circle of readers. The character of Hannah is one of
rare beauty."--_Standard._
"A powerful novel of social and domestic life. One of the most
successful efforts of a successful novelist."--_Daily News._
XLIV.--SAM SLICK'S AMERICANS AT HOME.
"This is one of the most amusing books that we ever read."--_Standard._
"'The Americans at Home' will not be less popular than any of Judge
Halliburton's previous works."--_Morning Post._
XLV.--THE UNKIND WORD.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
"These stories are gems of narrative. Indeed, some of them, in their
touching grace and simplicity, seem to us to possess a charm even
beyond the authoress's most popular novels. Of none of them can this be
said more emphatically than of that which opens the series 'The Unkind
Word.' It is wonderful to see the imaginative power displayed in the
few delicate touches by which this successful love-story is sketched
out."--_The Echo._
XLVI.--A ROSE IN JUNE.
BY MRS. OLIPHANT.
"'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._
XLVII.--MY LITTLE LADY.
BY E. FRANCES POYNTER.
"This story presents a number of vivid and very charming pictures.
Indeed, the whole book is charming. It is interesting in both character
and story, and thoroughly good of its kind."--_Saturday Review._
XLVIII.--PHOEBE, JUNIOR.
BY MRS. OLIPHANT.
"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._
XLIX.--LIFE OF MARIE ANTOINETTE.
BY PROFESSOR CHARLES DUKE YONGE.
"A work of remarkable merit and interest, which will, we
doubt not, become the most popular English history of Marie
Antoinette."--_Spectator._
L.--SIR GIBBIE.
BY GEORGE MAC DONALD, LL.D.
"'Sir Gibbie' is a book of genius."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"This book has power, pathos, and humour."--_Athenæum._
LI.--YOUNG MRS. JARDINE.
