=519. The Valley Mill.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._
Farm life, where the obstacles in the course of true love are the
cattle plague and a strange robbery of an old miser. The young heiress,
popularly called ‘the little Squire,’ is a charming portrait.
=520. From Over the Water.= (Walter Smith) 6_s._
A Scotch bailiff meeting with strong insular prejudice in the Isle of
Wight.
=521. Rufus.= (Masters) 4_s._ 6_d._
This is by the same author and in the same locality, but the hero in
this case is a native fisherman, the heroine a somewhat spoilt Scottish
lassie, sister to the gardener and the pet of the young ladies.
=522. The Lutaniste of St. Jacobi’s.= By C. DREW. (Marcus Ward) 6_s._
A German tale of music and lace-making, with an excellent moral against
scamped work.
=523. Bride Picotée.= By the Author of ‘Mlle. Mori.’ (Bemrose) 3_s._ 6_d._
Also a lace-making story, concerned with a young French girl and an
almost forgotten art.
=524. Cairnforth and Sons.= By HELEN SHIPTON. (S.P.C.K.) 3_s._
Of master manufacturers. A high-minded tale.
=525. Griffinhoof.= By CRONA TEMPLE. (S.P.C.K.) 3_s._ 6_d._
This is the odd name of an old sailor on board a hulk who adopts a little
orphan. There is a small novel of higher life connected with it, very
prettily carried out.
=526. A Leal Light Heart.= By ANNETTE LYSTER. (S.P.C.K.) 3_s._ 6_d._
A charming character. The only fault we have to find is the worldliness
of the old lady.
=527. My Lonely Lassie.= By ANNETTE LYSTER. (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ 6_d._
The governess is a very pretty character. We could dispense with her
becoming a marchioness in her own right, but no doubt it renders her the
greater favourite.

A high-toned tale of constancy.

sandwiched together.

Middle-class life in Scotland.

one on the suspense of the sister of an Arctic voyager.

A good and wholesome family history.
=533. Guide, Philosopher, and Friend.= By Mrs. H. MARTIN. (Griffith,
Farran, & Co.) 3_s._ 6_d._
A young lady becomes companion and adviser to some highly worthy farmers
who have been encumbered with a huge fortune. It is well and sensibly
carried out.

Founded on the history of Henry Martyn and the Lydia who disappointed
him.
