THE SELECT LIBRARY 2/- VOLS. 

 My Heart's in the Highlands. 



By Miss Grant. 



** In the splendid collection of novels embraced in the Select Library 

 of Fiction is a new edition of Miss Grant's very successful novel, ' My 

 Heart's in the Highlands.' The scene is laid principally in that 

 attractive part of the British Empire known as the Scottish Highlands, 

 and with the principal action of the book the author has interwoven a 

 gi-eat mass of interesting material on the sports and pastimes of the 

 good people who hurry off to spend the autumn in the cool glens and 

 by the sparkling streams of the northern counties of Scotland. The 

 plot is not very striking, but ample recompense for any deficiency in 

 this direction is found in the startling nature of some of the situations, 

 and the racy pictures of modem men and manners." (381) 



Maurice Tiernay: the Soldier of Fortune. 



By Charles Lever. 

 "These are days in which the public should furnish their libraries, if 

 they ever intend to do so. Who would be satisfied with the loan of the 

 much-thumbed library book, when for two shillings he can procure, in 

 one handsome volume, a celebrated work of fiction which often is seen 

 swelling three books ? This sprightly and original novel is now offered 

 at the low price of two shillings." (54) 



Sunshine and SnO^W. By Hawley smart, 



Author of " Two Kisses," "Broken Bonds," " Bound to Win," etc. 



"On the w^hole we think that this is an improvement on some of the 

 author's later novels. Mr. Hawley Smart, too, has broken new ground 

 by taking Jim Hawksbury, his principal male character, to Canada, as 

 aide-de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief. That gentleman and his 

 " chum," Cherriton, known among his intimates as " the Chirper," are 

 amusing specimens of the young British officer of a certain class, brave, 

 honourable, and good-natured, but somewhat slangy and "horsey" in 

 their talk, which savours more of the stable and the smoking-room 

 than is altogether pleasant or desirable. But by far the best character 

 in the book is Lydon, an artist, whom Hawksbury asks to dinner, and 

 whom " the Chirper" helps him to entertain." — The Standard. (382) 



Condoned : a Novel. By Anna c. steeie, 



Author of " Broken Toys." 

 "The publishers of the Select Library of Fiction are doing good 

 service to light literature by reprinting in a cheap and neat form the 

 works of our best novelists. ' Condoned,^ is one of the latest additions 

 to the series, and is a creditable contribution to it as a romance, and as 

 a handy, well-printed, and nicely bound book." — Msh Times. (360)
