By MARY E. MANN Author of “The Mating of a Dove,” “Olivia’s Summer,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS =Morning Post.=—“For human interest and bright vivacity of dialogue ‘In Summer Shade’ is not likely to find many rivals among works of the same class.” =Speaker.=—“Mrs Mann has given us a thoroughly readable and decidedly clever story, marked by humour, satires and tenderness.” =Daily Chronicle.=—“The scene between husband and wife is one of the strongest and most restrained pieces of dramatic work we have seen for quite a long while.” =Standard.=—“A strong dramatic interest and a really excellent love story.” =Daily Graphic.=—“Not only a very charming tale in itself, but it is excellently told.” =Bookman.=—“In very few recent novels will there be found anything approaching its grasp of character and firmness of touch. Her characters are not made of ink and paper, but of flesh and blood.” =Graphic.=—“A very charming story indeed.... The large-natured Mary will live in the memory as the most delightful of heroines.... A thoroughly lifelike novel which can be enjoyed with the mind as well as with the sympathies.” =Spectator.=—“Mrs Mann certainly gives us an effective tale. Mary’s self-devotion on her sister’s behalf makes a powerful incident and leads up to a _dénouement_ of much dramatic power.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _READY SHORTLY_ GUY BOOTHBY’S ENTHRALLING NEW ROMANCE =IN SPITE OF THE CZAR= By GUY BOOTHBY =Crown 8vo, Bevelled Boards,= =Price 5s.= _With Eight Full-page Half-tone Illustrations on Art Paper by_ LEONARD LINSDELL The name of Guy Boothby is one to conjure with. In this fine tissue of romance and realism, we have a wide range both in scenery and in incident. The invention of “Velvet Coat” as a distinctive sobriquet is an original idea, and whether in an English country mansion, on the St Petersburg pavements, or at Irkutsk, or in any other of the scenes so well painted, we are carried on from page to page with breathless expectation. All sorts and conditions of men, and of women too, cross the stage of this fresh drama, and it is full of exactly what delights the jaded reader—after turning from third-rate romance—namely the Unexpected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAY CROMMELIN’S POPULAR NOVELS =Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, price 6s. each=
