_Gentlewoman._--"The consummate art of the writer prevents this
tragedy from sinking to melodrama. Not a single situation is
forced or a circumstance exaggerated."

that it is one of the best stories that have appeared in any
country in Europe for the last twenty years."

THE HERITAGE OF THE KURTS. From the Norwegian of BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"A most fascinating as well as a powerful
book."
_National Observer._--"It is a book to read and a book to think
about, for, incontestably, it is the work of a man of genius."
_In the Press._

THE SCAPEGOAT. By HALL CAINE, Author of "The Bondman," &c.

as a work of art, and especially upon the noble and skilfully

heart, and an amount of tact that one rarely finds. Should take a
prominent place among the novels of the season."

excellent, and the author is happy in tender situations."
