NOVELS BY MRS. HUMPHRY WARD. 



KELBECK OF BANNISDALE. Third 



Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s. 



From THE TIMES. 1 A book which will take rank with Mrs. Humphry Ward's best 

 work. . . . The story is a story of a great passion worthily told. Fine luminous 

 passages, fraught with delicate significances, permit us to understand the atmosphere in 

 which the two chief actors move.' 



From THE SPECTATOR. 'Very few men and women will, we predict, be able to 

 close Mrs. Ward's book without the sense that they have been profoundly interested and 

 deeply touched. We follow the searchings of heart experienced both by Laura and the 

 Squire with intense interest. We never lose our human interest, nor do the chief 

 combatants ever cease to be real people, and so we shall venture to predict for 

 Mrs. Ward's new book a success quite as great as that which fell to hes last two novels.' 



SIR GEORGE TRESSADY. Third Edition 



Crown 8vo. 6-r 



From THE TIMES : 'In every sense this is a remarkable novel. . . . The writer 

 takes an even wider range than before, and deals with contemporary politics and the 

 burning questions of the morrow with the verve and no little of the knowledge of a 

 Disraeli. . . . The charm of the novel is the actuality of the personages. Mrs. Ward 

 has been living with them : so they live and breathe.' 



From THE STANDARD : '" Sir George Tressady" is an exceedingly able book. 

 We doubt if any other living woman could have written it. ... It is a work that does 

 her heart and imagination infinite credit.' 



MARCELLA. Sixteenth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s. 



CHEAP POPULAR EDITION, bound in limp cloth. Crown 8vo. 25. 6d. 

 From THE TIMES : ' Mrs. Humphry Ward again thrusts her hand into the hot fire 

 ofliving interests. Perhaps from this reason not a page is insipid. Everywhere is fresh, 

 bright "actuality"; everywhere are touches of intimacy with the world which she 

 describes.' 



THE HISTORY OF DAVID GRIEVE. 



Ninth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s CHEAP POPULAR EDITION, bound in limp cloth. 



Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. 



From THE SPEAKER : 'This we can affirm that in masterly grasp of the various 

 phases of spiritual thought and conflict in the England of to-day, " David Grieve " stands 

 alone in modern fiction and must be confessed as what it is a masterpiece.' 



ROBERT ELSMERE. .' Twenty-seventh Edition. 



Crown 8vo. 6s. CHEAP POPULAR P^DITION, bound in limp cloth. Crown 8vo. 

 2s. 6d. CABINET EDITION, Two Volumes. Small 8vo. 12^. 



From THE SPECTATOR :' This is a very remarkable book. . . . Profoundly as 

 we differ from Mrs. Humphry Ward's criticism of Christianity, we recognise in her book 

 one of the most striking pictures of a sincere religious ideal that has ever been presented 

 to our generation under the disguise of the modern novel.' 



THE STORY OF BESSIE COSTRELL. 



Square i6mo. 2.? 



From THE CHRISTIAN WORLD :-'Mrs. Ward has done nothing finer than this 

 brief story. The sustained interest, which does not permit the reader to miss a line ;_the 

 vivid clearness in which each character stands out in self-revelation ; the unfailing insight 

 into the familiar and confused workings of the village mind all represent work of the 

 highest class. " The Story of Bessie Costrell " will become an English classic.'
