Blind Artist's Pictures, and other Stories. 



By NORA VYNNE. 2nd Edition. 



The Spectator says: "These tales are remarkable less for their 

 knowledge of life and the skill with which they sketch it, than for the 

 freshness and originality of the idealism which is displayed in almost 

 all of them." 



The Speaker says : "Miss Vynne exhibits a distinct talent for the 

 short story. She writes with ease and spirit, and there is not only 

 brightness, but a good deal of unforced feeling, in her sketches. In 

 ' The Blind Artist's Pictures,' and its companion stories, she has 

 produced a very readable little volume. Slight as the stories are, 

 they are told with piquancy and point, whilst a pleasant vein of 

 sentiment runs through the series." 



Winters Weekly says : "All the stories are written in good, clear, 

 simple language ; the style is clever and epigrammatic, and the charac- 

 terisation very natural and life-like." 



The Literary World says : " Has the charm of rare originality 

 because the author has a sympathetic appreciation of character and a 

 broad-minded realisation of the fact that human nature in all its phases, 

 if naturally drawn, is interesting; and all the more interesting when 

 the picture is taken from an unconventional point of view." 



Wrecked at the Outset. 



By THEO GIFT, Author of " Pretty Miss Bellew," 

 "Victims," " Lil Lorimer," "Dishonoured," "An Island 

 Princess," etc. 



The British Weekly says: "All three stories are vivid pictures 

 of London life, and are written with great spirit and considtrable 

 artistic power." 



The Literary World says: "'TheoGift' is realistic in the true 

 sense of the word ; she does not shirk a situation which confronts her, 

 but there is no needless stirring up of social mud-puddles, and her 

 work is artistic in its grasp of life and character." 



Putt's Notions. 



By MARIE HERVEY. New Edition. 



The Scotsman says : " The simplicity and tenderness of the author's 

 style add force to the simple pathos of the tale. Those who like a 

 simple love story, naturally told, will find more than one to their 

 taste in this unpretending little volume." 



The Western Morning News says : "A certain charm of grace and 

 beauty runs through the whole of them, and they display a power for 

 dealing with the pathetic and tragic aspects of human life rarely met 

 with in the sketchy fiction of the day." 



The Yorkshire Post says : " Mrs. Hervey has written five short 

 stories simple, unaffected, sensible, and interesting." 



The Western Daily Mercury says : " Each is written in the 

 happiest of veins, and though, as we are assured, all are ' founded o i 

 facts,' they will prove none the less pleasing to the reader of which- 

 ever sex, and of whatever age, and may also exercise a beneficial 

 influence on a large number."
