is attraction in his kindliness, his taste
for good living, his liberal yet practical judgment of men
and things, and his dialect, which the author administers
with discretion. This is not a novel, but a series of
sketches from a quiet life, cleverly strung together, and we
have not met with anything from Mr. Fletcher's pen that is
more thoroughly enjoyable."
THE HARVEST MOON _Ready Shortly_
_BY OLIVER ONIONS_
PEDLAR'S PACK
THE DAILY EXPRESS: "A charming volume."
_BY ALPHONSE COURLANDER_
SETH OF THE CROSS
THE MORNING POST: "A powerful story."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "There is genuine and unforced pathos
in the narrative of Seth Craddock's struggle against fate."
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "A good book that should have a
popular as well as an artistic success."
_BY MRS. PHILIP CHAMPION DE CRESPIGNY_
THE GREY DOMINO
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "A well-told romance of scenes laid
in France at a time when the horrors of St. Bartholomew were
still a vivid recollection, swords flashed freely at sight
of a foe, and adventures were to be had for less than the
asking."
THE DAILY MAIL: "This is a brisk romance of the days of
Henri Quatre, what time de Rosny was in authority. It has,
however, little to do with politics, for which readers will
be grateful, and a good deal with love and adventures."
THE ROSE BROCADE
THE BOOKMAN: "A book which will most deservedly find many
delighted readers."
THE SPANISH PRISONER _Second Edition_
THE SCOTSMAN: "Recent romantic fiction has few more charming
heroines than Paloma Cuevedos."
_BY WARWICK DEEPING_
THE SEVEN STREAMS
THE MORNING POST: "'The Seven Streams' is a fine tale ...
full of strong emotions.... Picturesque description is Mr.
Deeping's special gift, and he has it in large measure."
_BY CULLEN GOULDSBURY_
GOD'S OUTPOST
THE TRIBUNE: "The writer gives a vivid account of South
African life, painting it in no glowing colours. He touches
firmly on the medley of conflicting elements. From many
points of view the book has great merits--indeed, it very
narrowly escapes being relegated to a much higher place."
CIRCE'S GARDEN
_BY BEATRICE GRIMSHAW_
VAITI OF THE ISLANDS
THE SPECTATOR: "Extremely virile.... A writer of more than
ordinary promise."
