, the _Blancs d'Espagne_ in France, and the Jacobite Party in England. Illustrated with Portraits of their Most Christian and Catholic Majesties the King and Queen of France, Spain, and Navarre. Published by Subscription only at 5s. net. Twenty-Five Copies on Dutch Hand-made Paper at One Guinea. Prospectus forwarded on application. =IN THE GREEN PARK=. By F. NORREYS CONNELL. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY F.H. TOWNSEND. _Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d._ "Excellent fooling. Teems with classical chaff and latter-day badinage. The chief attraction is the uninterrupted flow of exuberant animal spirits which permeates its pages. Mr. Townsend's illustrations to this quaint work are decidedly funny."--_Daily Telegraph._ "Full of clever and whimsical conceits. Will best be appreciated by Londoners, and welcome to the general reader."--_Morning Post._ "Not at all a bad specimen of the New Humour."--_Truth._ "The newest New Humour."--_National Observer._ "Very clever. Mr. Connell's next volume is sure to be good."--_Black and White._ "A fantastic and amusing work. Mr. Connell is a humorist, and a humorist of a distinctly original type.

SUNDAY TIMES: "Read, laugh over, and profit by the history of 'The Bachelors' Club,' capitally told by a fresh young writer." GLOBE: "A clever and interesting book. Agreeable satire. Store of epigram." REFEREE: "A new comic writer. There is a touch of the devilry of Heine in Mr. Za
