* * RICHARD CABLE, THE LIGHTSHIPMAN. 'A novel essentially readable, and full of life and colour.'--DAILY TELEGRAPH. 'The story has a strong interest, which is likely to prove enduring. It is as good as anything this powerful writer has produced.'--SCOTSMAN. * * * * * London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place. * * * * * The 'MOLLY BAWN' SERIES of POPULAR NOVELS Works by the Author of 'MOLLY BAWN,' 'GREEN PLEASURE AND GREY GRIEF,' &c. &c. _In Pictorial Covers, fcp. 8vo. 2s.; or, in limp red cloth, fcp. 8vo. 2s. 6d. each._ * * * * * PHYLLIS: A NOVEL. 'A clever and interesting novel.'--SPECTATOR. 'Very pleasant writing.'--QUEEN. MOLLY BAWN. 'Really an attractive novel, idealising human life without departing from the truth, and depicting the love of a tender, feminine, yet high-spirited girl in a most touching manner. Full of wit, spirit, and gaiety. All women will envy and all men will fall in love with her. Higher praise we surely cannot give.'--ATHENAEUM. 'AIRY FAIRY LILIAN.' 'A delightful story, cast in the same mould as its predecessors. The characters are cleverly drawn, the dialogue is terse and pointed.'--COURT JOURNAL. MRS. GEOFFREY. 'A prettier or more readable story than "Mrs. Geoffrey" nobody need wish to meet with.'--SCOTSMAN. ROSSMOYNE. 'Monica Beresford is a very pretty example of Irish _naivete_ dissociated from shilleaghs; and there is true humour in the conception of Kit, her sister.'--ACADEMY. DORIS. '"Doris" is a clever story of a marriage of convenience.... The dialogue is good: that of "Dicky Browne," a kind of licensed jester, being really bright and lively. The heroine is well drawn, and so is a terrible aunt of hers, whose encounters with the Marquis (himself a clever portrait) are diverting.'--ACADEMY. GREEN PLEASURE AND GREY GRIEF. '"Green Pleasure and Grey Grief" is what many of its readers will be inclined to call a sweetly pretty story.'--ATHENAEUM. PORTIA. '"Portia, or by Passions Rocked," is of the category of novels to which may fairly be applied the epithet of "charming."'--MORNING POST. BEAUTY'S DAUGHTERS. 'Another triumph.... Of the success of the story there can hardly be any doubt.' COURT JOURNAL. FAITH AND UNFAITH. 'A singularly bright, vivacious, readable story.'--ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
