A cheaper edition of a book which won instant popularity. No unfavourable review occurred, and most critics spoke in terms of enthusiastic admiration. The 'Westminster Gazette' called it '_a book of which we have read every word for the sheer pleasure of reading, and which we put down with a pang that we cannot forget it all and start again_.' The 'Daily Chronicle' said that '_every one who reads books at all must read this thrilling romance, from the first page of which to the last the breathless reader is haled along_.' It also called the book '_an inspiration of manliness and courage_.' The 'Globe' called it '_a delightful tale of chivalry and adventure, vivid and dramatic, with a wholesome modesty and reverence for the highest_.' EMILY LAWLESS. MAELCHO: a Sixteenth Century Romance. By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS, Author of 'Grania,' 'Hurrish,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'A striking and delightful book. A task something akin to Scott's may lie before Miss Lawless. If she carries forward this series of historical pictures with the same brilliancy and truth she has already shown, and with the increasing self-control one may expect from the genuine artist, she may do more for her country than many a politician. Throughout this fascinating book, Miss Lawless has produced something which is not strictly history and is not strictly fiction, but nevertheless possesses both imaginative value and historical insight in a high degree.'--_Times_. 'A really great book.'--_Spectator_. 'There is no keener pleasure in life than the recognition of genius. Good work is commoner than it used to be, but the best is as rare as ever. All the more gladly, therefore, do we welcome in "Maelcho" a piece of work of the first order, which we do not hesitate to describe as one of the most remarkable literary achievements of this generation. Miss Lawless is possessed of the very essence of historical genius.'--_Manchester Guardian_. E.F. BENSON. DODO: A DETAIL OF THE DAY. By E.F. BENSON. _Crown 8vo. Sixteenth Edition, 6s._ A story of society which attracted by its brilliance universal attention. The best critics were cordial in their praise. The 'Guardian' spoke of 'Dodo' as '_unusually clever and interesting_'; the 'Spectator' called it '_a delightfully witty sketch of society_;' the 'Speaker' said the dialogue was '_a perpetual feast of epigram and paradox_'; the 'Athenaeum' spoke of the author as '_a writer of quite exceptional ability_'; the 'Academy' praised his '_amazing cleverness_;' the 'World' said the book was '_brilliantly written_'; and half-a-dozen papers declared there was '_not a dull page in the book_.' E.F. BENSON. THE RUBICON. By E.F. BENSON, Author of 'Dodo.' _Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
