Maxwell, Edward Herbert
Great Britain. Army. Regiment of Foot, 88th (Connaught Rangers); Soldiers -- Great Britain -- Biography
“A cleverly written, readable story. The two girls, Rose and Sibyl,
are ably contrasted: Sibyl in especial is an original, clever
conception.”--_Daily News._
DAISY BERESFORD. By CATHARINE CHILDAR, Author of “The Future
Marquis.” 3 vols.
“An admirable novel, which will not fail to extend its author’s
popularity very widely.”--_John Bull._
“Several of the characters in ‘Daisy Beresford’ are cleverly drawn.
Two old maiden aunts are very well done, and the heroine is also
good.”--_Athenæum._
“Miss Childar has written a pretty, pleasant story, full of varied
character and entertaining talk. Daisy Beresford is a charming
creation.”--_Daily News._
DONOVAN. By EDNA LYALL, Author of “Won by Waiting.” 3 vols.
“‘Donovan’ is distinctly a novel with a high aim, successfully
attained. The character-drawing is vigorous and truthful.”--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
THE BRANDRETHS. By the RIGHT HON. A. J. B. BERESFORD HOPE, M.P.,
Author of “Strictly Tied Up.” _Second Edition._ 3 vols.
“In ‘The Brandreths’ we have a sequel to Mr. Beresford Hope’s clever
novel of ‘Strictly Tied Up,’ and we may add that it is a decided
improvement on his maiden effort. He has not only laid a firmer grasp
on some of those characters which in his earlier work were rather
wanting in outline and individuality, but he has secured the interest
of his readers by simplifying his story. ‘The Brandreths,’ although it
abounds in the study of personal character, investigating the innermost
life and analysing the feelings of the hero, is, nevertheless, in great
measure a political novel. Mr. Hope writes of political life and the
vicissitudes of parties with the knowledge and experience of a veteran
politician. Not a few of the casual pictures of society are exceedingly
faithful and lively. We repeat, in conclusion, that the novel is one
which will repay careful reading.”--_Times._
“There are many sayings in these volumes--many wise, many witty, many
tender, many noble sayings--that we should wish to cite to our readers,
but doubtless their pleasure will be greater in finding them out for
themselves. The book is full of clever epigrams.”--_Standard._
NEW BABYLON. By PAUL MERITT and W. HOWELL POOLE. 3 vols.
“This story is clever and amusing. Vivid and graphic scenes follow in
changeful succession.”--_Daily Telegraph._
“‘New Babylon’ will attract attention at the libraries, where an
exciting story is always welcome. The tale hurries along from one
stirring incident to another, and compels the reader to admire the
inventive power of the writers, and their ingenuity in weaving a
complicated series of incidents.”--_Era._
FORTUNE’S MARRIAGE. By GEORGIANA M. CRAIK, Author of “Dorcas,”
“Anne Warwick,” &c. 3 vols.
“‘Fortune’s Marriage’ is gentle, tender, and unexaggerated. It is
carefully written and has been carefully thought out.”--_Daily
News._
