i2mo. Paper, 50 cents ; cloth, 75 cents. 



" The plot is compact, deftly constructed, free from extravagances and violent im- 

 probabilities, with a well-managed element of suspense rimning nearly to the end, and 

 strongly illustrative throughout of English life and character. The book is likely to 

 add materially to the author's well-earned repute." — Chicago Times.

ON^SEQ UENCES. By Egerton Castle. i2mo. Paper, 



50 cents ; cloth, $1.00. 



" It is a real pleasure to welcome a new novelist who shows both promise and per- 

 formance. . . . The work is distinguished by verve, by close and wide observation of 

 the ways and cities of many men, by touches of a reflection which is neither shallow 

 nor charged with the trappings and suits of weightiness ; and in many ways, not least 

 in the striking end, it is decidedly original." — Saturday Revie%u.
