THE ADVENTURES OF FRANCOIS _Foundling, Thief, Juggler, and Fencing Master during the French Revolution_ By S. WEIR MITCHELL, M.D. AUTHOR OF "HUGH WYNNE," ETC. _DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"It is delightfully entertaining throughout, and throws much instructive light upon certain subordinate phases of the great popular upheaval that convulsed France between 1788 and 1794.... Recounted with unflagging vivacity and inexhaustible good humour." _DAILY MAIL._--"This lively piece of imagination is animated throughout by strong human interest and novel incident." _LITERATURE._--"It is a charming book, this historical romance of Dr. Weir Mitchell's; in narrative power, in dramatic effect, in vivid movement, and in mordant and singularly effective style.... No novelist of whom we know, not even Felix Gras, has so vividly brought before us the life of lower Paris in the awful days of the Terror. A dozen or so admirable reproductions of the drawings specially made by A. Castaigne for 'François,' during its serial appearance, add attraction to a romance as notable as it is delightful." _MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._--"The author meets with a master's ease every call that is made upon his resources, and the calls are neither few nor light. The design, bold though it is, lies so well within his compass as to suggest a reserve of strength rather than limitations. And a style that is versatile but always distinguished, delicate but always virile, terse but never obscure, is in a strong hand an instrument for strong work. The pictures by A. Castaigne are worthy of the text." _GLASGOW HERALD._--"Dr. Weir Mitchell's story deserves nothing but praise." _SHEFFIELD DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"There is plenty of movement, and the interest culminates but never flags. It is quite the best picaresque novel we have come across for a long time past.... The story could hardly be bettered." _GLASGOW DAILY MAIL._--"It is altogether a most entertaining narrative, witty and humorous in its dialogue, exciting in its incidents, and not without its pathetic side." _DAILY CHRONICLE._--"Dr. Weir Mitchell is certainly to be congratulated on the whole volume." _Second Impression Now Ready_ Extra Crown 8vo. 6s. ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN _LITERATURE._--"A charming book.... If the delightful wilderness which eventually develops into a garden occupies the foreground, there is still room for much else--for children, husbands, guests, gardeners, and governesses, all of which are treated in a very entertaining manner."
