'Dr. Doyle wields a cunning pen, as all the world now knows. His deft
touch is seen to perfection in these short sketches--these "facts and
fancies of medical life," as he calls them. Every page reveals the
literary artist, the keen observer, the trained delineator of human
nature, its weal and its woe.'--_Freeman's Journal_.

'These tales are skilful, attractive, and eminently suited to give
relief to the mind of a reader in quest of distraction.'--_Athenaeum_.

STANLEY WEYMAN. UNDER THE RED ROBE. By STANLEY WEYMAN, Author of 'A
Gentleman of France.' With Twelve Illustrations by R. Caton Woodville.
_Seventh Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

A cheaper edition of a book which won instant popularity. No
unfavourable review occurred, and most critics spoke in terms of
enthusiastic admiration. The 'Westminster Gazette' called it '_a book
of which we have read every word for the sheer pleasure of reading,
and which we put down with a pang that we cannot forget it all and

books at all must read this thrilling romance, from the first page
of which to the last the breathless reader is haled along_.' It also
called the book '_an inspiration of manliness and courage_.' The
'Globe' called it '_a delightful tale of chivalry and adventure,
vivid and dramatic, with a wholesome modesty and reverence for the
highest_.'

may lie before Miss Lawless. If she carries forward this series of
historical pictures with the same brilliancy and truth she has already
shown, and with the increasing self-control one may expect from
the genuine artist, she may do more for her country than many a
politician. Throughout this fascinating book, Miss Lawless has
produced something which is not strictly history and is not strictly
fiction, but nevertheless possesses both imaginative value and
historical insight in a high degree.'--_Times_.

'A really great book.'--_Spectator_.

'There is no keener pleasure in life than the recognition of genius.
Good work is commoner than it used to be, but the best is as rare as
ever. All the more gladly, therefore, do we welcome in "Maelcho" a
piece of work of the first order, which we do not hesitate to
describe as one of the most r
