'"Doris" is a clever story of a marriage of convenience.... The dialogue is good: that of "Dicky Browne," a kind of licensed jester, being really bright and lively. The heroine is well drawn, and so is a terrible aunt of hers, whose encounters with the Marquis (himself a clever portrait) are diverting.'--ACADEMY. GREEN PLEASURE AND GREY GRIEF. '"Green Pleasure and Grey Grief" is what many of its readers will be inclined to call a sweetly pretty story.'--ATHENAEUM. PORTIA. '"Portia, or by Passions Rocked," is of the category of novels to which may fairly be applied the epithet of "charming."'--MORNING POST. BEAUTY'S DAUGHTERS. 'Another triumph.... Of the success of the story there can hardly be any doubt.' COURT JOURNAL. FAITH AND UNFAITH. 'A singularly bright, vivacious, readable story.'--ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 'Distinctly superior to three-fourths of the fiction published.'--ACADEMY. LADY BRANKSMERE. '.... Sufficiently sensational to suit the most ardent admirers of fiction, and yet contains much that is worthy of admiration.'--COURT JOURNAL. LOYS, LORD BERRESFORD, and other Tales. 'A collection of stories which cannot fail to be popular. There is something good in all of them, and one or two are especially racy and piquant.'--ACADEMY. UNDER-CURRENTS. 'Altogether as enjoyable as one is accustomed to expect from the clever author of "Molly Bawn."'--SCOTSMAN. * * * * * London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place. * * * * * NOVELS BY GEORGE GISSING. * * * * * _Fcp. 8vo.

'If a tale of Socialism does not find abundance of readers, it is not because the times are not ripe for it. This remarkable novel presents the great social problem in a striking garb.... "Demos" does not aspire to vie with "Alton Locke," but it tells a story more practical, and of more brightness and variety.'--TIMES. 'A really able and vigorous romance.'--ATHENAEUM. 'This is a novel of very considerable ability.... It is evidently written by a man who has a very intimate knowledge of the working classes, and not a little sympathy with them.... Nothing can be more skilful than the sketch of the artisan family round whose fortunes the story of the book revolves. The chief character is very powerfully drawn.... His mother too, with her narrow, complaining, and almost dumb integrity, ... the weak, pretty daughter, and the worthless, blackguard son, are hardly less truthful studies.... The sketch of the one or two Socialist meetings which the author has occasion to describe, of the style of Socialist literature, and the conversation of Socialist agitators, shows an intimate knowledge of that field of action.'--SPECTATOR.
