No. 2SS. The Key of the Holy House. A 

 Romance of Old Antwerp. By Albert 

 Lee. 



This is a stirring romance of Holland's 

 struggle for liberty against the Spaniards in 

 the latter part of the sixteenth century, when 

 Don Luis de Requesens succeeded the Duke of 

 Alva as Viceroy of the Netherlands. The story 

 pictures the terrors of the Inquisition and thrill- 

 ing episodes of the gallant war for liberty waged 

 by William, Prince of Orange, on the land, 

 and the ''Water Beggars" on the sea. The 

 destruction of a Spanish fleet, after a fashion 

 repeated at Manila, is among the dramatic 

 chapters of this fascinating romance. 



No. 254. Belinda — and Some Others. 



This bright and humorous story offers a re- 

 lief to the problem novel and the didactic tale, 

 and it is certain to be welcomed by readers who 

 relish wholesome entertainment. 



No. 253. The Impediment. By Dorothea 

 Gerard, author of "A Forgotten Sin," 

 "Miss Providence," etc. 



" Dorothea Gerard does not paint us cloudless 

 skies, but her darkest backgrounds serve to bring 

 more vividly the bright and piquant figures to the 

 fore. Her story-building shows grace, symmetry, and 

 nicely adjusted balances. . . . Brisk and pithy conver- 

 sation, a sparkling flow of merriment, enhanced be- 

 times by a sweet seriousness, belong to her people." — 

 New i'ork Home Journal. 



No. 252. Concerning Isabel Carnaby. By 

 Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler. 



" ' Concerning Isabel Carnaby ' is beyond doubt a 

 book to be read. It is a book with a great deal of fresh 

 and interesting observation in it ; the leading charac- 

 ters are re.illv studied, and the detail is obviously from 

 life. Miss Fowler has sympathy and understanding, 

 and her range i-; a wide one. She can describe a Non- 

 conformist circle in the provinces, and pass from that 

 to society and politics in London, or house parties in 

 the country, and seem equally at home in all of 

 them." — Westminster Gazette. 



No. 251. The Scourge of God. By J. Bloundelle-Burton, author of "The Clash ot 



Arms," " In the Day of Adversity," " Denounced," etc. 



The author's high rank among the romantic novelists of the day is confirmed by the intense 

 interest of this spirited and absorbing tale. 



"John Bloundelle-Burton is an author >vho is possessed of an exuberance of imagination that especially fits 

 him for stories teeming with incident and melodramatic situations. . . . There is no falling off in interest, and 

 the action never flags." — Chicago Evening Post.
