_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"This novel is for those who like
stories with something of Jane Austen's power, but with
more intensity of feeling than Jane Austen displayed, who
are not inclined to call pathos twaddle, and who care to
see life and human nature in their most beautiful form."
24th Thousand.
LOVER OR FRIEND?
_GUARDIAN._--"The refinement of style and delicacy of
thought will make _Lover or Friend?_ popular with all
readers who are not too deeply bitten with a desire for
things improbable in their lighter literature."
21st Thousand.
BASIL LYNDHURST.

natural and bright. The novel as a whole is charming."

become enthralling."

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
_DAILY NEWS._--"Miss Carey's fluent pen has not lost its
power of writing fresh and wholesome fiction."

THE MISTRESS OF BRAE FARM.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"Miss Carey's untiring pen loses none
of its power, and her latest work is as gracefully written,
as full of quiet home charm, as fresh and wholesome, so to
speak, as its many predecessors."
12th Thousand.
MRS. ROMNEY and "BUT MEN MUST WORK."
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"By no means the least attractive of
the works of this charming writer."

story which finds its way into the innermost shrines of

give pleasure to those who love beauty."
25th Thousand.
HERB OF GRACE.
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._--"A clever delineator of character,
possessed of a reserve of strength in a quiet, easy,
flowing style, Miss Carey never fails to please a large
class of readers. _Herb of Grace_ is no exception to the
rule...."
20th Thousand.
THE HIGHWAY OF FATE.
_BOOKMAN._--"This pretty love story ... is charming,
sparkling, and never mawkish."
19th Thousand.
A PASSAGE PERILOUS.
_TIMES._--"Told with all Miss Carey's usual charm of quiet,
well-bred sentiment."

during the terribly anxious 'waiting days' of Ladysmith.
The soldier's young bride is charmingly suggested and the
love portions approach the idyllic."
