a Scotch moor becomes a living thing, strong, tender, beautiful, and changeful. The book will take rank among the best of Mrs. Oliphant's good stories.'--_Pall Mall Gazette_. W.E. NORRIS. MATTHEW AUSTIN. By W.E. NORRIS, Author of 'Mademoiselle de Mersac,' etc. _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ '"Matthew Austin" may safely be pronounced one of the most intellectually satisfactory and morally bracing novels of the current year.'--_Daily Telegraph_. 'Mr. W.E. Norris is always happy in his delineation of everyday experiences, but rarely has he been brighter or breezier than in "Matthew Austin." The pictures are in Mr. Norris's pleasantest vein, while running through the entire story is a felicity of style and wholesomeness of tone which one is accustomed to find in the novels of this favourite author.'--_Scotsman_. W.E. NORRIS. HIS GRACE. By W.E. NORRIS, Author of 'Mademoiselle de Mersac.' _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'Mr. Norris has drawn a really fine character in the Duke of Hurstbourne, at once unconventional and very true to the conventionalities of life, weak and strong in a breath, capable of inane follies and heroic decisions, yet not so definitely portrayed as to relieve a reader of the necessity of study on his own behalf.'--_Athenaeum_. W.E. NORRIS. THE DESPOTIC LADY AND OTHERS. By W.E. NORRIS, Author of 'Mademoiselle de Mersac.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'A delightfully humorous tale of a converted and rehabilitated rope-dancer.'--_Glasgow Herald_. 'The ingenuity of the idea, the skill with which it is worked out, and the sustained humour of its situations, make it after its own manner a veritable little masterpiece.'--_Westminster Gazette_. 'A budget of good fiction of which no one will tire.'--_Scotsman_. 'An extremely entertaining volume--the sprightliest of holiday companions.'--_Daily Telegraph_. GILBERT PARKER. MRS. FALCHION. By GILBERT PARKER, Author of 'Pierre and His People.' _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ Mr. Parker's second book has received a warm welcome. The 'Athenaeum' called it '_a splendid study of character_'; the 'Pall Mall Gazette' spoke of the writing as '_but little behind anything that has been done by any writer of our time_'; the 'St. James's' called it '_a very striking and admirable novel_'; and the 'Westminster Gazette' applied to it the epithet of '_distinguished_.'
