he rare faculty of gripping the reader's attention at the outset and retaining it to the very last.... 'The Hypocrite' is something more than a remarkable novel--it is, in effect, a sermon, conveying a definite message to those who have the wit to understand it." =Morning Post.=--"It is entitled to be regarded as one of the clever books of the day. The writer shows artistic perception. He maintains throughout an atmosphere perfectly in harmony with the idea that has suggested his work." =_The Wandering Romanoff._= A Romance. By BART KENNEDY, Author of "A Man Adrift," "Darab's Wine-Cup," etc. New and Cheaper Edition, crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d. =_Dona Rufina._= A Nineteenth Century Romance. Being a Story of Carlist Conspiracy. By HEBER DANIELS, Author of "Our Tenants." Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d. =Bookman.=--"A highly emotional, cleverly written story." =Lady.=--"A thrilling romance with a mediaeval atmosphere, although the scene is laid in the Cotswolds in the year of grace 1898. The story is well constructed, and is a good example of the widely imaginative type of fiction that is so eagerly devoured by young people nowadays." =Lloyd's.=--"The author has woven a clever story out of strange materials.... The interest of the book only ceases when the end is reached." =Society.=--"Altogether a very intelligible and interesting story of intrigue and love. The author has put some excellent work into the book." =Eastern Morning News.=--"Readers will be fascinated by the stirring scenes, the swiftly moving panorama, the enacted tragedies, the wild, passionate, lawless loves depicted in the most sensational manner in this volume." =Englishman= (Calcutta).--"It is a lurid tale of Spanish plotters.... Around this central figure the author weaves an effective story with more than considerable skill. He has achieved a brilliant success with the character of Rufina; it is a masterpiece in its own way, and invested with freshness, grace, and a magnetic personality." =_Lord Jimmy._= A Story of Music-Hall Life. By GEORGE MARTYN. Crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d. =Outlook.=--"The book is both humorous and dramatic." =Pelican.=--"It is amusing and interesting--two very good qualities for a novel to possess." =Sheffield Telegraph.=--"The book is vivaciously written, several of the characters being human enough to look like studies from life." =Aberdeen Free Press.
