%* Mr. Lyons' former books dealt with East London characters. Now he 

 draws the varying types oi a small country community. The humour of the 

 whole is enforced, inimitable, and there is the underlying note of tragedy never 

 wholly absent from the lives of the poorer classes.

 The story is spirited and interesting. The love interest also is excellent and 

 pathetic." 



Sprctator" This is one of those illuminating and stimulating romances which 

 set people reading history." 



BEGGARS AND SORNERS. Crown Svo. 6/- 



**" Beggars and Soruers " is a novel which deals with what may be called the 

 back-wa'sh of the " Forty Five." It commemorates the deb&cle of a great romance, 

 ard in describing the lives, the struggles, the make-shifts, the intrigues and the 

 crimes of a small circle ol Jacobite exiles in Holland between the years 1745 and 

 1750, it strives to show the pathos of history while revealing its seamy side. The 

 characters are imaginary (with one important exception); they have imaginary 

 names and commit imaginary actions, for the story is not confined to, but only 

 founded on, fact. If some readers of Jacobite history find among their number 

 some old friends with new faces, this need not detract from the interest of others 

 to -whom all the characters are new actors in a drama drawn from the novelist's 

 fancy. To English readers it may have to be explained what the word Sorner 

 means but the story makes this sufficiently plain. The novel is ol a lighter 

 character than those previously written by this author, and is not without 

 sensational elements. In spite of adverse circumstances, grim characters, and all 

 tlie sorrows of a lost cause, it contrives to end happily. The scene is laid in 

 Amsterdam.
