ROSE ISLAND. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of 

 ' The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' etc. Crown 8vo., 6s. 



1 It is one of the best sea stories that was ever penned. It is full of good character- 

 drawing and lively incidents, and the sea ! it carries you, terrifies you, charms you.' 

 Morning Post. 



' The story has all its author's descriptive power, and more than usual in the way of 

 novel incident. " Rose Island " is a good yarn.' Literature. 



' One is struck by the genuineness of the sea-lore that is woven into the very fibre of the 

 tale. ' Academy. 



'Probably Mr. Clark Russell's best story since "The Wreck of the Grosvenor."' 

 Manchester Guardian. 



VERITY. By SIDNEY PICKERING, Author of ' Wan- 

 derers,' etc. Crown 8vo., 6s. 



' " Verity" will do. The story is clever and attractive enough to please even the most 

 jaded novel reader, and he will feel no shame to his literary sense in his pleasure, for the 

 writing and phrasing of the book are as good as its substance.' Pall Mall Gazette. 



' Can be safely read by the most fastidious, and comes as a welcome relief to much of 

 the fiction now being issued. It is a love episode, and full of human interest, and will 

 undoubtedly add fresh laurels to a very promising author.' Sketch. 



JENNY OF THE VILLA. By Mrs. C. H. RADFORD. 



Crown 8vo., 6s. 



1 We have read this book with sheer delight. There is freshness and originality in it. 

 Its outlook on life is free and frank. It has qualities that lift it high above the average 

 novel of the day. ' Western Daily Mercury. 



' Jenny Finzel is a charming character. Mrs. Radford is indeed a true artist. The 

 book is natural, and that in itself is high praise. The style is graceful, quiet, and un- 

 affected ; the pathos is that of real life, and runs deep.' Queen.
