"Brilliant, highly-coloured sketches ... contains beyond doubt some
of the best writing that has come from Mr. Grenville-Murray's
pen."--_St. James's Gazette._
"Limned audaciously, unsparingly, and with much ability."--_World._
"Distinguished by their pitiless fidelity to nature."--_Society._
"Extremely personal. The author, brilliant as were his parts,
appears to have laboured under a delusion which obliged him to
mistake personal abuse for satire, and ill-nature for moral
indignation."--_Athenæum._
"Some of Mr. Murray's trenchant blows do real service to the cause
of public morality and order."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Includes unvarnished portraits of various characters who have made
a flutter in recent times in this little world of ours."--_Vanity
Fair._

MR. BUTLER'S WARD.
BY MABEL ROBINSON.
"A charming book, poetically conceived, and worked out with
tenderness and insight."--_Athenæum._
"The heroine is a very happy conception, a beautiful creation whose
affecting history is treated with much delicacy, sympathy, and
command of all that is touching."--_Illustrated News._
"'Mr. Butler's Ward' is of exceptional merit and interest as a first
novel.... All the characters are new to fiction, and the author is
to be congratulated on having made so full and original a haul out
of the supposed to be exhausted waters of modern society.... A
writer who can at the outset write such admirable sense and
transform the results of much minute observation into so pathetic
and tender a whole, takes at once a high position."--_Graphic._
THE CORSARS; OR, LOVE AND LUCRE.
BY JOHN HILL.
AUTHOR OF "THE WATERS OF MARAH," "SALLY," &C.
"It is indubitable that Mr. Hill has produced a strong and lively
novel, full of story, character, situations, murder, gold mines,
excursions, and alarms. The book is so rich in promise that we hope
to receive some day from Mr. Hill a romance which will win every
vote."--_Saturday Review._
