_Observer._—“This is the best novel that Mr. de Sélincourt has yet published.” SARAH AND HER DAUGHTER, by _Bertha Pearl_. Crown 8vo, 7/6. This is a story of New York’s Ghetto, showing the Ghetto family as it lives from day to day. The thing has never been done before. It is the first novel setting forth the whole world of the Ghetto and the emergence of the younger generation into the larger world of American life. It has the Potash and Perlmutter laugh, and the tears of the sufferers of all ages. A work of genuine humour and understanding realism. THE QUEST OF MICHAEL HARLAND, by _Nora Kent_. Crown 8vo, 8/6. In reviewing Miss Kent’s previous novel, “The Greater Dawn,” _Land and Water_ said: “Mrs. Florence Barclay and Miss Ethel M. Dell have cause to tremble.” Her new story has the same fragrance and delicacy of sentiment that attracted readers in “The Greater Dawn,” and will, we feel confident, increase their number. GARTH, by _Mrs. J. O. Arnold_. Crown 8vo, 8/6. _Times._—“A thoroughly well-told ghost story.... It is admittedly exceptional and inexplicable, and in that lies its thrill.” _Sheffield Telegraph._—“A very clever and exciting piece of work. Good ghost stories are none too common, and this one is very good.” GENERAL LITERATURE THE MAKING OF AN OPTIMIST, by _Hamilton Fyfe_. Demy 8vo, 12/6. CLAUDIUS CLEAR in the _British Weekly_: “Mr. Hamilton Fyfe has written a remarkable volume.... It is needless to say that the book is frank and able and interesting.” H. M. T. in the _Nation and Athenæum_: “I hope Mr. Fyfe’s book will be widely read, because I think it must be unique.” H. W. NEVINSON in the _Daily Herald_: “A very remarkable and exhilarating book.” DIVORCE (TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW), by _C. Gasquoine Hartley_. Author of “The Truth about Woman,” “Sex Education and National Health.” Crown 8vo, 6/-. This book deals with many aspects on the subject. It shows historically how the present divorce laws developed and how closely they are still allied to the ancient ecclesiastical Canon Law. It proves that most Protestant countries have far more liberal laws, and that, but for accidents in the lives of our kings, our own laws would have been reformed in the 16th century. The harmful way in which the laws work against morality and the family is shown by an analysis of a number of present-day divorce suits. The present position in regard to proposals for an extension of the grounds of divorce is examined, and a contrast is drawn between our petrified laws and the liberal reforms introduced by those of English stock in the dominions over the seas. The author finally brings forward her own proposals and explains her own moral standards. She declares that ecclesiastical defenders of the present law do not understand the spirit of the Founder of Christianity. STRAY THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES, by the Late _James A. Rentoul, K.C., LL.D._ Edited by _L. Rentoul_. Demy 8vo, 18/-. _Times._—“Many racy anecdotes.”
