JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN. 



" This is a very good and a very interesting work. It is designed to trace the career 

 from boyhood to age of a perfect man a Christian gentleman, and it abounds in incident 

 both well and highly wrought. Throughout it is conceived in a high spirit, and written 

 with great ability. This cheap and handsome new edition is worthy to pass freely from 

 hand to hand as a gift-book in many households." Examiner. 



" The story is very interesting The attachment between John Halifax and his wife is 

 beautifully painted, as are the pictures of their domestic life, and the growing up of their 

 children, and the conclusion of the book is beautiful and touching." Athenatum. 



"The new and cheaper edition of this interesting work will doubtless meet with great 

 success. John Halifax, the hero of this most beautiful story, is no ordinary hero, and this 

 his history is no ordinary book. It is a full-length portrait of a true gentleman, one of 

 nature's own nobility. It is also the history of a home, and a thoroughly English one. 

 The work abounds in incident, and is full of graphic power and true pathos. It is a book 

 that few will read without becoming wiser and better." Scotsman. 



A WOMAN'S THOUGHTS ABOUT WOMEN. 



" A book of sound counsel It is one of the most sensible works of its kind, well written, 

 true-hearted, and altogether practical. Whoever wishes to give advice to a young lady 

 may thank the author for means of doing so." Examiner. 



"These thoughts are worthy of the earnest and enlightened mind, the all-embracing 

 charity, and the well-earned reputation of the author of ' John Halifax. 1 "Standard. 



" This excellent book is characterised by good sense, good taste, and feeling, and is 

 written in an earnest, philanthropic, as well as practical spirit" Post. 



A LIFE FOR A LIFE. 



" We are always glad to welcome this author. She writes from her own convictions, 

 and she has the power not only to conceive clearly what it is that she wishes to say, but 

 to express it in language effective and vigorous. In ' A Life for a Life ' she is fortunate 

 in a good subject, and she has produced a work of strong effect. The reader, having read 

 the book through for the story, will be apt (if he be of our persuasion) to return and rent 

 again many pages and passages with greater pleasure than on a first perusal. The whole 

 book is replete with a graceful, tender delicacy ; and, in addition to its other merits, it ia 

 written in good careful English." Athenaeum. 



NOTHING NEW. 



'" Nothing New ' displays all those superior merits which have made John Halifax ' 

 one of the most popular works of the day." Post. 



" The reader will find these narratives calculated to remind him of that truth and 

 energy of human portraiture, that spell over human affections and emotions, which have 

 stamped this author as one of the first novelists of our day." John Bull. 



THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM. 



" ' The Woman's Kingdom ' sustains the author's reputation as a writer of the purest 

 and noblest kind of domestic stories. The novelist's lesson is given with admirable force 

 and sweetness." Athenaeum. 



" ' The Woman's Kingdom ' is remarkable for its romantic interest. The characters 

 are masterpieces. Edna is worthy of the hand that drew John Halifax." Post. 



STUDIES FROM LIFE. 



"These studies are truthful and vivid pictures of life, often earnest, always full of right 

 feeling, and occasionally lightened by touches of quiet genial humour. The volume is re- 

 markable for thought, sound sense, shrewd observation, and kind and sympathetic feeling 

 for all things good and beautiful." Post.
