ject cannot
be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true
spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture
narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and
this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is, despite some trifling
incongruities, a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme
climax of the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin Review_.
ANTHONY HOPE. THE GOD IN THE CAR. By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of 'A Change
of Air,' etc. _Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
'Ruston is drawn with extraordinary skill, and Maggie Dennison with
many subtle strokes. The minor characters are clear cut. In short
the book is a brilliant one. "The God in the Car" is one of the most
remarkable works in a year that has given us the handiwork of nearly
all our best living novelists.'--_Standard_.
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but
not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals,
but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary
method is a keen pleasure; true without cynicism, subtle without
affectation, humorous without strain, witty without offence,
inevitably sad, with an unmorose simplicity.'--_The World_.
ANTHONY HOPE. A CHANGE OF AIR. By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of 'The
Prisoner of Zenda,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters
are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times_.
ANTHONY HOPE. A MAN OF MARK. By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of 'The Prisoner
of Zenda,' 'The God in the Car,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
'A bright, entertaining, unusually able book, quite worthy of its
brilliant author.'--_Queen_.
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best
compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda." The two romances are
unmistakably the work of the same writer, and he possesses a style
of narrative peculiarly seductive, piquant, comprehensive, and--his
own.'--_National Observer_.
CONAN DOYLE. ROUND THE RED LAMP. By A. CONAN DOYLE, Author of 'The
White Company,' 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,' etc. _Fourth
Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
'The book is, indeed, composed of leaves from life, and is far and
away the best view that has been vouchsafed us behind the scenes of
the consulting-room. It is very superior to "The Diary of a late
Physician."'--_Illustrated London News_.
