_The Morning Post_ said, in reviewing the author's first novel, "Sowing Clover": "We shall look for Mr. Wouil's future with every anticipation of continuous and increasing delight." The second novel is another Black Country study, but of much greater dramatic power. It depicts the central character, reared in poverty, without influence or promise; of the struggles of youth; of artisan life, the prospect of a "little 'ome" and drab respectability; of ambition; of the coming of love; of the making of a gentleman, and the battle with environment. +THE WIDOW OF GLOANE.+ By D. H. Dennis, Author of "Crossroads," etc. Mr. D. H. Dennis is one of the most promising exponents of the modern school of fiction. His new Work contains a capital idea. Phyllis, the heroine, who is a charming young widow when the story opens, meets and marries the playmate of her childhood. The narrative is full of good things, of wit as well as wisdom, and readers who like their fiction to be brainy as well as human will thoroughly enjoy its pages. +THE BARBARIANS.+ By James Blyth, Author of "Rubina," "Amazement," etc. The marital relationship is the keynote of "The Barbarians" Original, virile, human, bold and sympathetic, the novel, both in interest and craftsmanship, is a worthy successor of a sequence of brilliantly limned portraits of the feminine character. It is the tale that matters, and as a story teller Mr. Blyth may well challenge comparison. +UNDER COVER OF NIGHT.+ By R. Murray Gilchrist, Author of "Weird Wedlock," etc. A book of vivid atmosphere, probably the best of this author's novels of incident. Throughout, the strange country background, with its swiftly moving folk, gentle and simple, reminds one of a weird and fascinating drama. The contrast between the quiet inn house, and the dilapidated hall with its guilty secret, is admirably depicted. The plot is excellently fashioned and the unfolding of the mystery done with admirable restraint. The author understands to perfection the art of thrilling his readers. +MAIDS OF SALEM.+ By K. L. Montgomery, Author of "The Gate-Openers," "The Cardinal's Pawn," etc. The witch-persecution of New England, one of the most dramatic chapters of American history, is the theme of K. L. Montgomery's new novel. The scene is Salem, Massachusetts Bay. The story is one of tragedy and romance, told in the inimitable way with which the author's admirers have been so charmed by her previous books. +THE DICE OF LOVE.+ By Edmund Bosanquet Author of "A Society Mother," "Mary's Marriage," etc. Since the days of "A Society Mother," Mr. Edmund Bosanquet has gone far, and this, his latest romance, will more than satisfy the expectations of his admirers. The characters are never insipid, and have the happy knack of getting on the right side of the reader immediately. There is a sustained brilliance about the book which augurs well for its success. +THE MEMOIRS OF PRINCESS ARNULF.+
