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."

It has, however, little to do with politics, for which readers will be grateful, and a good deal with love and adventures."

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." V
