A tale which it is not easy to put down when once commenced. ZILLAH: A ROMANCE. 3s. 6d. THE SPECTATOR.--"The drawing of some of the characters indicates the possession by Mr. Hocking of a considerable gift of humour. The contents of his book indicate that he takes a genuine interest in the deeper problems of the day." THE MONK OF MAR-SABA. 3s. 6d. THE STAR.--"Great power and thrilling interest.... The scenery of the Holy Land has rarely been so vividly described as in this charming book of Mr. Hocking's." THE PURPLE ROBE. 3s. 6d. THE QUEEN.--"Mr. Hocking's most interesting romance. It is exceedingly clever, and excites the reader's interest and brings out the powerful nature of the clever young minister. This most engrossing book challenges comparison with the brilliance of Lothair." THE SCARLET WOMAN. 3s. 6d. THE METHODIST RECORDER.--"This is Mr. Hocking's strongest and best book. We advise every one to read it. The plot is simple, compact and strenuous; the writing powerful. It brings out sharply the real character of the typical Jesuit, his training, motives, limitations, aims." ALL MEN ARE LIARS. 3s. 6d. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.--"This is a notable book. Thoughtful people will be fascinated by its actuality, its fearlessness, and the insight it gives into the influence of modern thought and literature upon the minds and morals of our most promising manhood." ISHMAEL PENGELLY: AN OUTCAST. 3s. 6d. THE ATHENAEUM.--"The book is to be recommended for the dramatic effectiveness of some of the scenes. The wild, half-mad woman is always picturesque wherever she appears, and the rare self-repression of her son is admirably done." THE STORY OF ANDREW FAIRFAX. 3s. 6d. THE MANCHESTER EXAMINER.--"Rustic scenes and characters are drawn with free, broad touches, without Mr. Buchanan's artificiality, and, if we may venture to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy's country pictures." THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3s. 6d. THE SPECTATOR.--"This volume proves beyond all doubt that Mr. Hocking has mastered the art of the historical romancist. '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 Mr. Conan Doyle or Mr. Stanley Weyman." MISTRESS
