 Charlie Thornhill. By ciianes ciarke. 



"'Charlie Thornhill ' is obviously the work of a man who is a 

 classical scholar, not from pedantry, but from real love of the thing, 

 and who has had plenty of that experience which we understand by the 

 expression 'seeing the world.' He is quite at home in the drawing- 

 room, and can make an Englisli lady look and speak like an English 

 lady. He can send his heronie to see the hounds ' tlirow off' without 

 making her talk like a horse-dealer and ride like a fiend. Though she 

 does 'come to grief,' which for stage purposes is inevitable, the 

 catastro])he is neither indecent nor improbable." — T/ie Times. {67) 



Father Godfrey. 



By the Author of "Anne Dysart." 



"A well-written story. Godfrey's character is finely-drawn." — 

 AthencEinn. 



"A book of considerable ability and of thrilling interest, which 

 never flags. Each character is portrayed in a vivid manner, and the 

 plot is well carried out." — JoJui Bull. (306) 



Checkmate. By J. Sherldan Lefann, 

 Author of " Uncle Silas," etc. 



" A very well-written novel. The plot is constructed with wonderful 

 ingenuity." — Exaininet. 



" From the first page to the denouement the author excites, sustains, 

 and baffles our curiosity." — Fall Mall Gazcl.'e. (330 



Sir Jasper Gare^SAT. By Charles I^ever. 



" Although this novel is less extensively known than the humorous 

 rollicking tales which have made Mr. Lever's name so popular, such 

 as 'Harry Lorrequer,' 'Charles O'Malley,' 'Jack Hinton,' 'Tom 

 Burke,' etc., there is in it much sterling portraiture, and a correct 

 appreciation of character in both the higher and lower grades of life. 

 Tliose who set apart portions of their library for the books of modern 

 autliors, would be sadly deficient if they did not possess the collected 

 works of Charles Lever." (48) 



Three "Wives. 



By the Author of " Book of Heroines." 



"The popular authoress of ' Margaret and her Bridesmaids' has here 

 given us three very charnnng volumes. The work is full of interest, 

 and will be read throughout with pleasure. We can safely commend 

 ' Three Wives ' to the best attention of novel readers." — Sun. (302)
