m Mitford can always be depended upon to
spin a rattling story, and in 'Averno' he has made no exception to his
excellent rule."
AN ISLAND OF EDEN. 6_s._
THE SCOTSMAN.--"Mr. Mitford can be relied on to write a stirring novel
of adventure, and to this class his latest work belongs. The book is
vigorously and effectively written."
JOSEPH HOCKING
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. 3_s._, 6_d._, and 6_d._
THE FINANCIAL TIMES.--"A strong knowledge of human nature, for which
Mr. Hocking is famous, is well portrayed in the pages of this novel,
and this, in conjunction with the interesting nature of the plot,
renders it particularly successful. The book will be appreciated by
novel readers."
ROGER TREWINION. 3_s._, 6_d._, 2_s._ net, and 6_d._
T. P.'S WEEKLY.--"It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hocking will

ESAU. 3_s._ 6_d._
THE OUTLOOK.--"Remarkable for the dramatic power with which the scenes

season."
GREATER LOVE. 3_s._ 6_d._
THE NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.--"Though of a totally different character from
'Lest We Forget,' Mr. Hocking's latest story is entitled to take rank
along with that fine romance."
LEST WE FORGET. 3_s._ 6_d._
PUBLIC OPINION.--"His story is quite as good as any we have read of the
Stanley Weyman's school, and presents an excellent picture of the
exciting times of Gardiner and Bonner."
AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE? 3_s._ 6_d._
THE WEEKLY SUN.--"An engaging and fascinating romance. The reader puts
the story down with a sigh, and wished there were more of these breezy
Cornish uplands, for Mr. Joseph Hocking's easy style of narrative does
not soon tire."
JABEZ EASTERBROOK. 3_s._ 6_d._
THE ROCK.--"Real strength is shown in the sketches, of which that of
Brother Bowman is most prominent. In its way it is delightful."
