EFFIE HETHERINGTON
BY
ROBERT BUCHANAN

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth,_ 6s.

"Mr. Robert Buchanan has written several novels ... but among those
which we know, there is not one so nearly redeemed by its ability and
interest.... The girl is simply odious; but Mr. Buchanan is a poet--it
would seem sometimes _malgre lui_, in this instance it is _quand
meme_--and he dowers the worthless Effie with a rugged,
half-misanthropic, steadfast lover, whose love, never rewarded, is
proved by as great a sacrifice as fact or fiction has ever known, and
who is almost as striking a figure as Heathcliff in 'Wuthering
Heights.'"--_World_.

AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS

_Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s.

"Subject to the qualifications thus disposed of (_vide_ first part
of notice), 'An Outcast of the Islands' is perhaps the finest piece

quality. He imagines his scenes and their sequence like a master;
he knows his individualities and their hearts; he has a new and
wonderful field in this East Indian Novel of his.... Greatness is
deliberately written; the present writer has read and re-read his
two books, and after putting this review aside for some days to
consider the discretion of it, the word still stands."--_Saturday
Review._

ALMAYER'S FOLLY

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s.

"THIS STARTLING, UNIQUE, SPLENDID BOOK."
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR, M.P.

"This is a decidedly powerful story of an uncommon type, and breaks
fresh ground in fiction.... All the le
