nd vivid actuality which have made the author's excursions into primitive Scandinavian history and legend as fascinating and as strongly human in their appeal as the mediaeval romances which first made him famous. Carmen's Messenger HAROLD BINDLOSS. Mr. Bindloss is an author who can deftly use sensationalism to his purpose without forcing it for mere effect, and who can also depict the character of a strong man as honest as determined in love with a sweet woman. He tells a story with rare skill. Lonesome Heights HALLIWELL SUTCLIFFE. A thoroughly enjoyable story, without a dull page, and in the front rank of the author's work. Plot and characterisation are equally good. The Just Men of Cordova EDGAR WALLACE. An adventure story dealing with another episode in the career of the "Four Just Men" who have appeared in several of Mr Wallace's most popular novels. The Rattlesnake KATHARINE TYNAN. A strong knowledge of human nature, for which Katharine Tynan 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. Adam PAUL TRENT. A strikingly original novel. It tells of a young man who is kept in seclusion and entirely without knowledge of the world until the age of twenty-one. His development, especially from the religious standpoint, is strikingly realistic and enthralling. A novel likely to be talked about. MORNING POST.--"Mr. Paul Trent tells a tale well. He has a narrative style that grips and interests, and we are grateful to him for a real and enjoyable story." No Greater Love WILLIAM LE QUEUX. A remarkable story, crowded with the most exciting situations, and bristling with crimes which only the brain of a most versatile author could conceive. THE SCOTSMAN.--"Few novelists, if any, surpass Mr. Wm. Le Queux in the art of making a frankly and formidably melodramatic story go with alluring lightness in its intensity."
