_Full of bright pictures of French life. The English
family, whose fortunes form the main drift of the story,
reside mostly in France, but there are also many English
characters and scenes of great interest. It is certainly
the work of a fresh, vigorous, and most interesting writer,
with a dash of sarcastic humour which is refreshing and
not too bitter._ "_We can send our readers to it with
confidence._"--SPECTATOR.

SEBASTIAN EVANS. Fcap. 8vo. cloth. 6_s._

vision and the faculty divine.' ... Clever and full of
kindly humour._"--GLOBE.
=Evans.=--THE CURSE OF IMMORTALITY. By A. EUBULE EVANS.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_Never, probably, has the legend of the Wandering Jew
been more ably and poetically handled. The author writes
as a true poet, and with the skill of a true artist.
The plot of this remarkable drama is not only well
contrived, but worked out with a degree of simplicity and
truthful vigour altogether unusual in modern poetry. In
fact, since the date of Byron's 'Cain,' we can scarcely
recall any verse at once so terse, so powerful, and so
masterly._"--STANDARD.

genuine._"--ATHENÆUM.
=Garnett.=--IDYLLS AND EPIGRAMS. Chiefly from the Greek Anthology.
By RICHARD GARNETT. Fcap. 8vo. 2_s._ 6_d._
