 BARABBAS : A DREAM OF THE 

 WORLD'S TRAGEDY. Thirty- 

 sixth Edition. 

 ' The tender reverence of the treatment 

 and the imaginative beauty of the writ- 

 ing have reconciled us to the daring of 

 the conception, and the conviction is 

 forced on us that even so exalted a sub- 

 ject cannot be made too familiar to us, 

 provided it be presented in the true spirit 

 of Christian faith. The amplifications 

 of the Scripture narrative are often con- 

 ceived with high poetic insight, and this 

 "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is 

 a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase 

 of the supreme climax of the inspired 

 narrative.' — Dublin Review, 



THE SORROWS OF SATAN. 

 Forty-third Edition. 

 ' A very powerful piece of work. . . . The 



conception is magnificent, and is likely 

 to win an abiding place within the 

 memory of man. . . . The author has 

 immense command of language^ and a 

 limitless audacity. . . . This interesting 

 and remarkable romance will live long 

 after much of the ephemeral literature 

 of the day is forgotten. ... A literary 

 phenomenon . . . novel, and even sub- 

 lime.' — W. T. Stead in the Review 

 of Reviews. 



THE MASTER CHRISTL^N. 



[150?"/^ Thousand, 

 'It cannot be denied that "The Master 

 Christian" is a powerful book ; that it is 

 one likely to raise uncomfortable ques- 

 tions in all but the most self-satisfied 

 readers, and that it strikes at the root 

 of the failure o the Churches — the decay 

 of faith — in a manner which shows the 

 inevitable disaster heaping up . . . The 

 good Cardinal Bonpr6 is a beautiful 

 figure, fit to stand beside the good 

 Bishop in " Les Mis^rables " . . . The 

 chapter in which the Cardinal appears 

 with Manuel before Leo xili. is char- 

 acterised by extraordinary realism and 

 dramatic intensity ... It is a book with 

 a serious purpose expressed with abso- 

 lute unconventionality and passion . . . 

 And this is to say it is a book worth 

 reading.' — Examiner.

Crown ?>vo. 6s, each. 



THE GOD IN THE CAR. Ninth 



Edition. 

 'A very remarkable book, deserving of 

 critical analysis impossible within our 

 limit ; brilliant, but not superficial ; 

 well considered, but not elaborated ; 

 constructed with the proverbial art that 

 conceals, but yet allows itself to be 

 enjoj'ed by readers to whom fine literary 

 method is a keen pleasure.'— The World. 



A CHANGE OF AIR. Sixth Edition. 

 'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to 

 human nature. The characters are 

 traced with a masterly hand.' — Times. 



A MAN OF MARK. Fifth Edition. 



Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of 



Mark" is the one which best compares 



with " The Prisoner of Zenda." ' — 



National Observer. 



THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT 

 ANTONIO. Fourth Edition. 

 'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love 

 and chivalry, and pure romance. The 

 Count is the most constant, desperate, 

 and modest and tender of lovers, a peer- 

 less gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a 

 faithful friend, and a magnanimous foe.' 

 — Guardian.
