m Mitford can always be depended upon to spin a rattling story, and in 'Averno' he has made no exception to his excellent rule." AN ISLAND OF EDEN. 6_s._ THE SCOTSMAN.--"Mr. Mitford can be relied on to write a stirring novel of adventure, and to this class his latest work belongs. The book is vigorously and effectively written." JOSEPH HOCKING THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. 3_s._, 6_d._, and 6_d._ THE FINANCIAL TIMES.--"A strong knowledge of human nature, for which Mr. Hocking is famous, is well portrayed in the pages of this novel, and this, in conjunction with the interesting nature of the plot, renders it particularly successful. The book will be appreciated by novel readers." ROGER TREWINION. 3_s._, 6_d._, 2_s._ net, and 6_d._ T. P.'S WEEKLY.--"It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hocking will always have a good story to tell.

THE COMING OF THE KING. 3_s._ 6_d._ THE GLASGOW HERALD.--"Mr. Hocking's imagination is fertile, and his skill in the arrangement of incident far above the average, and there is an air of reality in all his writing which is peculiarly charming."

LEST WE FORGET. 3_s._ 6_d._ PUBLIC OPINION.--"His story is quite as good as any we have read of the Stanley Weyman's school, and presents an excellent picture of the exciting times of Gardiner and Bonner." AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE? 3_s._ 6_d._ THE WEEKLY SUN.--"An engaging and fascinating romance. The reader puts the story down with a sigh, and wished there were more of these breezy Cornish uplands, for Mr. Joseph Hocking's easy style of narrative does not soon tire." JABEZ EASTERBROOK. 3_s._ 6_d._ THE ROCK.--"Real strength is shown in the sketches, of which that of Brother Bowman is most prominent. In its way it is delightful."
