sts of the stage at heart." =THE CABINET MINISTER=: A Farce in Four Acts. (Vol. III.) _Observer._--"It is as amusing to read as it was when played." =THE HOBBY HORSE=: A Comedy in Three Acts. (Vol. IV.) =LADY BOUNTIFUL.= A Play in Four Acts. (Vol. V.) To be followed by The Magistrate, Dandy Dick, The Schoolmistress, The Weaker Sex, Lords and Commons, The Squire, and Sweet Lavender. =THE PRINCESSE MALEINE=: A Drama in Five Acts (Translated by Gerard Harry), and =THE INTRUDER=: A Drama in One Act. By MAURICE MAETERLINCK. With an Introduction by HALL CAINE, and a Portrait of the Author. Small 4to, cloth, 5_s._ _Athenaeum._--"In the creation of the 'atmosphere' of the play M. Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates to us the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else has done. In 'The Intruder' the art consists of the subtle gradations of terror, the slow, creeping progress of the nightmare of apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done before--not even by Poe--not even by Villiers." =THE FRUITS OF ENLIGHTENMENT=: A Comedy in Four Acts. By Count LYOF TOLSTOY. Translated from the Russian by E. J. DILLON. With Introduction by A. W. PINERO. Small 4to, with Portrait, 5_s._ _Pall Mall Gazette._--"The whole effect of the play is distinctly Molieresque; it has something of the large humanity of the master. Its satire is genial, almost gay." =HEDDA GABLER=: A Drama in Four Acts. By HENRIK IBSEN. Translated from the Norwegian by EDMUND GOSSE. Small 4to, cloth, with Portrait, 5_s._ Vaudeville Edition, paper, 1_s._ Also a Limited Large Paper Edition, 21_s._ _net_. _Times._--"The language in which this play is couched is a model of brevity, decision, and pointedness.... Every line tells, and there is not an incident that does not bear on the action immediate or remote. As a corrective to the vapid and foolish writing with which the stage is deluged 'Hedda Gabler' is perhaps entitled to the place of honour." =NERO AND ACTEA=: A Tragedy. By ERIC MACKAY, Author of "A Lover's Litanies," and "Love Letters of a Violinist." Crown 8vo, cloth, 5_s._ _Morning Post._--"Well written, picturesque, and thoroughly dramatic." =A NEW PLAY.= By HALL CAINE. Small 4to. [_In preparation._ =STRAY MEMORIES.= By ELLEN TERRY. In one volume. Illustrated.
