_COUNTRY LIFE._--"This story of the later years of the eighteenth century will rank high in literature. It is a fine and spirited romance set in a slight but elegant and accurate frame of history. The book itself has a peculiar and individual charm by virtue of the stately language in which it is written.... It is stately, polished, and full of imaginative force." _LIVERPOOL DAILY MERCURY._--"The book is written in a strong and terse style of diction with a swift and vivid descriptive touch. In its grasp of character and the dramatic nature of its plot it is one of the best novels of its kind since Stevenson's _Prince Otto_." _COSMOPOLIS._--"A capital story, well constructed and well written. The style deserves praise for a distinction only too rare in the present day." Crown 8vo. 6s. STORIES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY BUCCANEERS AND PIRATES OF OUR COASTS By FRANK R. STOCKTON AUTHOR OF "RUDDER GRANGE" _WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY_ GEORGE VARIAN AND B. WEST CLINEDINST _PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"A fine book.... They are exciting reading.... Eminently informing." _ACADEMY._--"Mr. Frank R. Stockton is always interesting, whether he writes for young or old." _SCOTSMAN._--"In these stirring romances of the sea he does not profess to give anything fresh; he merely puts into bright, crisp, modern language, the tales that were told in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by the recognized chroniclers of the deeds of the freebooters who disported themselves on the American coasts in those picturesque times.... The book is very finely illustrated." _INDEPENDENT (NEW YORK)._--"This book of buccaneers will stir the blood of young people who care for stories that tell of wild fighting on pirate ships and lawless riots ashore in the time when the ocean was not at command of steam's civilizing power.... Mr. Stockton has given the charm of his genius to the book." Crown 8vo. 6s. THE TREASURY OFFICER'S WOOING By CECIL LOWIS _BRITISH WEEKLY._--"The scene is laid in India, and to our mind it is quite as good as Mrs. Steel." _WHITEHALL REVIEW._--"A clever tale." _SPECTATOR._--"It is plain that the writer may yet be a formidable rival to Mrs. Steel." Crown 8vo. 6s. BISMILLAH By A. J. DAWSON AUTHOR OF "MERE SENTIMENT," "GOD'S FOUNDLING," ETC. A romantic story of Moorish life in the Rift Country and in Tangier by Mr. A. J. Dawson, whose last novel, _God's Foundling_, was well received in the beginning of the year, and whose West African and Australian Bush stories will be familiar to most readers of fiction. _Bismillah_ is the title chosen for Mr. Dawson's new book, which may be regarded as the outcome of his somewhat adventurous experiences in Morocco last year. _ACADEMY._--"Romantic and dramatic, and full of colour."
