singularly powerful story of occult influences and of their exertion for evil purposes. ZILLAH: A ROMANCE. 3_s._ 6_d._ THE SPECTATOR.--"The drawing of some of the characters indicates the possession by Mr. Hocking of a considerable gift of humour.

The scenery of the Holy Land has rarely been so vividly described as in this charming book of Mr. Hocking's." THE PURPLE ROBE. 3_s._, 6_d._, and 2_s._ net.

THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3_s._, 6_d._ THE SPECTATOR.--"'The Birthright' is, in its way, quite as well constructed, as well written, and as full of incident as any story that has come from the pen of Sir Conan Doyle or Mr. Stanley Weyman."
