 Liiidisfarn Chass. By t. a. Troiiope, 



Author of "Beppo, the Conscrip... ' 



" The lovers of fictional literature will be glad to find that Messrs. 

 Chapman and Hall have issued ' cheap editions ' of the works of 

 i homas A. Troiiope, a writer who has the tact of always sustaining 

 the interest of his readers, and the experiences of a ' L ndisfarn 

 Chase,' and ' Beppo, the Conscript ' are among the most popular works 

 of this author. They are full of incident, and written with the pen of 

 a man who is a keen observer of character and an excellent story- 

 teller." (87) 



The Knight of Gwynne. 



B7 Charles Lever. 



"The 'Knight of Gwynne' is certainly one of the most lovable 

 characters tliat Mr. Lever has ever drawn ; and he monopolises so 

 much of our sympathy, that we hope to be forgiven for extending less 

 of it than he probably deserves to Bagenal Daly, notwithstanding the 

 vigour with which that character is drawn, the remarkable originality 

 of it, and the fidelity with which it represents and sustains a most pe- 

 culiar combination of qualities, intellectual as well as moral." — Black- 

 wood's Magazine. (23) 



The Eustace Dianionds. 



By Anthony Troiiope. 



" Mr. Troiiope has these merits nearly always at his comn-iand. He 

 has a true artist's idea of tone, of colour, of harmony ; his pictures are 

 one ; are seldom out of drawing ; he never strains after effect ; is 

 fidelity itself in expressing English lie; is never guilty of caricature. 

 . . . . We remember the many hours that have passed smoothly 

 by, as, with feet on the fender, we have followed heroine after heroine 

 of his from the dawn of her love to its happy or disastrous close, and 

 one is astounded at one's own ingratitude in writing a word against a 

 succession of tales that 'give delight and hurt not.'" — Fortnightly 

 Reviexv. (243) 



The Prime Minister. 



By Anthony Troiiope. 

 " 'The Prime Minister' is a novel that will be greatly enjoyed by 

 people who can take an interest in its public personages, and who ap- 

 preciate clever studies of political character." — The Times. (362)
