.'--_Athenaeum_. 'A great book. The author's method is amazingly effective, and produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the mark it is certain to make.'--_World_. JULIAN CORBETT. A BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By JULIAN CORBETT, Author of 'For God and Gold,' 'Kophetus XIIIth.,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'There is plenty of incident and movement in this romance. It is interesting as a novel framed in an historical setting, and it is all the more worthy of attention from the lover of romance as being absolutely free from the morbid, the frivolous, and the ultra-sexual.'--_Athenaeum_. 'A stirring tale of naval adventure during the Great French War. The book is full of picturesque and attractive characters.'--_Glasgow Herald_. ROBERT BARR. IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS. By ROBERT BARR, Author of 'From Whose Bourne,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'A book which has abundantly satisfied us by its capital humour.'--_Daily Chronicle_. 'Mr. Barr has achieved a triumph whereof he has every reason to be proud.'--_Pall Mall Gazette_. 'There is a quaint thought or a good joke on nearly every page. The studies of character are carefully finished, and linger in the memory.'--_Black and White_. 'Distinguished for kindly feeling, genuine humour, and really graphic portraiture.'--_Sussex Daily News_. 'A delightful romance, with experiences strange and exciting. The dialogue is always bright and witty; the scenes are depicted briefly and effectively; and there is no incident from first to last that one would wish to have omitted.'--_Scotsman_. MRS. PINSENT. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD. By ELLEN F. PINSENT, Author of 'Jenny's Case.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'There is much clever writing in this book. The story is told in a workmanlike manner, and the characters conduct themselves like average human beings.'--_Daily News_. 'Full of interest, and, with a large measure of present excellence, gives ample promise of splendid work.'--_Birmingham Gazette_. 'Mrs. Pinsent's new novel has plenty of vigour, variety, and good writing. There are certainty of purpose, strength of touch, and clearness of vision.'--_Athenaeum_. CLARK RUSSELL. MY DANISH SWEETHEART. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of 'The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' etc. _Illustrated. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ P
