-_Guardian_. BY G. NORWAY. A True Cornish Maid. By G. NORWAY. With 6 page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "There is some excellent reading.... Mrs. Norway brings before the eyes of her readers the good Cornish folk, their speech, their manners, and their ways. _A True Cornish Maid_ deserves to be popular."--_Athenaeum_. "The incident is plentiful and exciting; the characters are drawn with no common skill. The contrast between the two girls--the rough, free-spoken Phoebe, and the refined, retiring Honor--is excellent."--_The Spectator_. "Among girls' books the success of the year has fallen, we think, to Mrs. Norway, whose _True Cornish Maid_ is really an admirable piece of work.... The book is full of vivid and accurate local colour; it contains, too, some very clever character studies."--_Review of Reviews_. Hussein the Hostage: Or, A Boy's Adventures in Persia. By G. NORWAY. With 8 page Illustrations by JOHN SCHOeNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "_Hussein the Hostage_ is full of originality and vigour. The characters are lifelike, there is plenty of stirring incident, the interest is sustained throughout, and every boy will enjoy following the fortunes of the hero."--_Journal of Education_. The Loss of John Humble: What Led to It, and what Came of It. By G. NORWAY. With 8 page Illustrations by JOHN SCHOeNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "This story will place the author at once in the front rank. It is full of life and adventure. He is equally at home in his descriptions of life in Sweden and in the more stirring passages of wreck and disaster, and the interest of the story is sustained without a break from first to last."--_Standard_. BY HARRY COLLINGWOOD. The Pirate Island: A Story of the South Pacific. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 8 page Pictures by C. J. STANILAND and J. R. WELLS. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "A capital story of the sea; indeed in our opinion the author is superior in some respects as a marine novelist to the better known Mr. Clark Russell."--_The Times_. The Congo Rovers: A Story of the Slave Squadron. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 8 page Illustrations by J. SCHOeNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "No better sea story has lately been written than the _Congo Rovers_. It is as original as any boy could desire."--_Morning Post_. Th
