"'Paddy's Woman and Other Stories' by Humphrey James; a volume written in the familiar diction of the Ulster people themselves, with perfect realism and very remarkable ability.... For genuine human nature and human relations, and humour of an indescribable kind, we are unable to cite a rival to this volume."--_The World._ "For a fine subtle piece of humour we are inclined to think that 'A Glass of Whisky' takes a lot of beating.... In short Mr. Humphrey James has given us a delightful book, and one which does as much credit to his heart as to our head. We shall look forward with a keen anticipation to the next 'writings' by this shrewd, 'cliver,' and compassionate young author."--_Bookselling._ A FIRST FLEET FAMILY: BEING A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NARRATIVE OF CERTAIN REMARKABLE ADVENTURES COMPILED FROM THE PAPERS OF SERGEANT WILLIAM DEW, OF THE MARINES by LOUIS BECKE and WALTER JEFFERY _Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s. "As convincingly real and vivid as a narrative can be."--_Sketch._ "No maker of plots could work out a better story of its kind, nor balance it more neatly."--_Daily Chronicle._ "A book which describes a set of characters varied and so attractive as the more prominent figures in this romance, and a book so full of life, vicissitude, and peril, should be welcomed by every discreet novel reader."--_Yorkshire Post._ "A very interesting tale, written in clear and vigorous English."--_Globe._ "The novel is a happy blend of truth and fiction, with a purpose that will be appreciated by many readers; it has also the most exciting elements of the tale of adventure."--_Morning Post._ THE TALES OF JOHN OLIVER HOBBES With a Frontispiece Portrait of the Author _Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s. "The cleverness of them all is extraordinary."--_Guardian._ "The volume proves how little and how great a thing it is to write a 'Pseudonym.' Four whole 'Pseudonyms' ... are easily contained within its not extravagant limits, and these four little books have given John Oliver Hobbes a recognized position as a master of epigram and narrative comedy."--_St. James's Gazette._ "As her star has been sudden in its rise so may it stay long with us! Some day she may give us something better than these tingling, pulsing, mocking, epigrammatic morsels."--_Times._ "There are several literary ladies, of recent origin, who have tried to come up to the society ideal; but John Oliver Hobbes is by far the best writer of them all, by far the most capable artist in fiction.... She is clever enough for anything."--_Saturday Review._ THE HERB MOON by JOHN OLIVER HOBBES _Third Edition, Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s. "The jaded reader who needs sauce for his literary appetite cannot do better than buy 'The Herb Moon.'"--_Literary World._
