MRS. BARCLAY'S NOVELS
By FLORENCE L. BARCLAY
THE ROSARY
Over One Million Copies Sold
_Translated into French, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Polish, Finnish,
Dutch, and Spanish._
"The sentiment is never mawkish; it rings true, and throughout the
whole story there is a vein of elevating emotion which should attract
lovers of wholesome fiction."--_Times_.
THE MISTRESS OF SHENSTONE
"A youthful sentiment, fresh and romantic, flows through Mrs. Barclay's
new book, and gives to the story some of the delicate odour of lavender
and jessamine, and old-fashioned flowers."--_Daily Graphic_.
THE FOLLOWING OF THE STAR
"A worthy successor to 'The Rosary.' It has the same charm and grip,
whilst the plot is again unusual and clever...."--_Evening Standard_.
THROUGH THE POSTERN GATE
"It is a book to turn over in a sunny garden, under shady trees, when
one might look up from the clear print and see a happy prince coming in
through the green gate to lead one's own self to
fairyland."--_Manchester Guardian_.
THE BROKEN HALO
"It is the record of the saving of a soul by charity. The end
represents the triumph of mortal kindness."--_Standard_.
THE WALL OF PARTITION
"A brisk, readable story with a strong plot, full of incident and sure
of a wide appreciation."--_Globe_.
THE UPAS TREE
"The book is full of that mixture of humour, feeling, and religion that
gain for Mrs. Barclay so wide a popularity."--_Church Family Newspaper_.
RETURNED EMPTY
"This is certainly the most arresting tale that the authoress has
produced since her first huge success."--_Daily Mail_.
SHORTER WORKS

time into one volume, and including one which has never before been

3s. 6d. net.
Mrs. Barclay's Last Long Novel.
"It has tenderness, it has a story which never flags, above all it has
humanity."--_Observer_.
G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS, Ltd.,
24 Bedford St., Strand, London, W.C. 2, & New York
_SOME PRESS OPINIONS ON THE LATE_
FLORENCE L. BARCLAY
"A writer who appealed to and won the affection of so many of her
fellow countrymen and women is no negligible quantity. Indeed there is
reason to think that Mrs. Barclay understood the tendency of her age
better than many contemporary novelists whose technical skill exceeded
hers."--_Times_.
"Mrs. Barclay's death will be regretted by many thousands of
readers."--_Morning Post_.
"'The Rosary' and nearly all her other books were inspired by true
religious feeling, which she always managed to infuse into the
imagination of her readers."--_Sphere_.
"From the highest to the lowest she commanded an attentive
public."--_Liverpool Daily Courier_.
