MRS. WATSON. THIS MAN'S DOMINION. By the Author of 'A High Little
World.' _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
'It is not a book to be read and forgotten on a railway journey, but
it is rather a study of the perplexing problems of life, to which the
reflecting mind will frequently return, even though the reader does
not accept the solutions which the author suggests. In these days,
when the output of merely amusing novels is so overpowering, this is
no slight praise. There is an underlying depth in the story which
reminds one, in a lesser degree, of the profundity of George Eliot,
and "This Man's Dominion" is by no means a novel to be thrust aside as
exhausted at one perusal.'--_Dundee Advertiser_.
MARRIOTT WATSON. DIOGENES OF LONDON and other Sketches. By H.B.
MARRIOTT WATSON, Author of 'The Web of the Spider.' _Crown 8vo.
Buckram. 6s._
'By all those who delight in the uses of words, who rate the exercise
of prose above the exercise of verse, who rejoice in all proofs of its
delicacy and its strength, who believe that English prose is chief
among the moulds of thought, by these Mr. Marriott Watson's book will
be welcomed.'--_National Observer_.
GILCHRIST. THE STONE DRAGON. By MURRAY GILCHRIST. _Crown 8vo. Buckram.
6s._
'The author's faults are atoned for by certain positive and admirable
merits. The romances have not their counterpart in modern literature,
and to read them is a unique experience.'--_National Observer_.

Illustrations. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._
'A charming little book about household pets by a daughter of the
Archbishop of Canterbury.'--_Speaker_.
'A delightful collection of studies of animal nature. It is
very seldom that we get anything so perfect in its kind.... The
illustrations are clever, and the whole book a singularly delightful
one.'--_Guardian_.
'Humorous and sentimental by turns, Miss Benson always manages to
interest us in her pets, and all who love animals will appreciate
her book, not only for their sake, but quite as much for its
own.'--_Times_.
'All lovers of animals should read Miss Benson's book. For sympathetic
understanding, humorous criticism, and appreciative observation she
certainly has not her equal.'--_Manchester Guardian_.
GRAY. ELSA. A Novel. By E. M'QUEEN GRAY. _Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._
'A charming novel. The characters are not only powerful sketches, but
minutely and carefully finished portraits.'--_Guardian_.
