MR. SALADS 



MY DIARY IN AMERICA IN THE MIDST 



OF WAR. 



By GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA. 



In 2 vols. Svo. [This dmj. 



" Now that we have told Mr. Sala what we conceive to be the chief faults of his 

 book, we are well pleased to make acknowledgment of his vigour, honesty, and 

 humour. Its truthfulness i.s discerned in the racy egotism that sets aside the 

 facts and pictures of all previous writers on America, and entertains the reader 

 with the experiences, impressions, fancies, and vagaries of Mr. George Augustus 

 Sala, pure and unadulterated. Great as is the number of persons who read his 

 letters in the Dailv Telegraph, there is an equal number who have not yet per\ised 

 them, but are wishing to look at the humorous letters of which they Lave heard 

 so much. To them we commend ' My Diary in America in the Midst of War ' as a 

 book abounding in the materials of entertainment, and richly suggestive of ques- 

 tions for discussion. The rare good stories may be counted by hundreds." — 

 Athenceum. 



"In two large volumes Mr. Sala reproduces a portion of the correspondence 

 from America which he lately published in a London daily paper. He has added, 

 however, a good deal which did not appear in the columns of that journaL Mr. 

 Sala's is decidedly a clever, amusing, and often brilhant book." — Morning Star. 



GEORGE GEITH OF FEN COURT, 



The Novel, by F. G. TRAFFORD, 



Author of " City and Suburb," "Too Much Alone," &c., is ready at aU the 



Libraries, in 3 Vols. 



" Rarely have we seen an abler work than this, or one which more vigorously 

 interests us in the principal characters of its most fascinating story." — Times, 

 Feb. 4. 



" Beryl Molozane, the witty laughing girl of sense, who can mimic, and act, and 



jeer, and govern a family, and smash pretence, and love devotedly We do 



not know when we have been so charmed as with that strange figare, so composite 

 yet so real, or when we have read anything more touching than her relation to her 

 husband, wliom Mr. Traflford, true to his theory of Ufe, makes in his hour of 

 victory a sick bankrupt. " — Spectator. 



" This fine story, so rich in pathos, is not poor in humour. Its sadness does 

 not tend to monotone, but is diversified by sketches of ' fine City ladies,' and 

 notable of City sociabilities, which are keenly witty and genuinely entertaining. 

 It is a rare pleasure to read such a novel as ' George Geith of Fen Court ' — a 

 pleasure for whose recurrence it is vain to look, except towards its author."— 

 Morning Post. 



" We Uke this novel better than any of the author's previous ones ; the story is 



more clearly told, and the interest sustained ' George Geith' is an excellent 



novel, powerfully and carefully written." — Athenceum.
