GRACE AGUILAR'S WORKS. 



New Editions, Illustrated for Presentation. 



HOME INFLUENCE. A Tale for Mothers and Daughters. Fcap. 8vo, 



Illustrated, cloth gilt, 5s. 



" Grace Aguilar wrote and spoke as one inspired ; she condensed and spiritualized, and all 

 her thoughts and feelings were steeped in the essence of celestial love and truth. To those 

 who really knew Grace Aguilar, all eulogium falls short of her deserts, and she has left a 

 blank in her particular walk of literature, which we never expect to see filled up." Pilgrim- 

 ages to English Shrines, by Mrs. Hall. 



THE MOTHER'S RECOMPENCE. A Sequel to Home Influence. With a 

 Portrait of the Author, and other Illustrations. Fcap. 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s. 



" ' The Mother's Recompense ' forms a fitting close to its predecessor, ' Home Influence.' 

 The results of maternal care are fully developed, its rich rewards are set forth, and its 

 lesson and its moral are powerfully enforced." Morning Post. 



WOMAN'S FRIENDSHIP. A Story of Domestic Life. Fcap. 8vo, Illus- 

 trated, cloth gilt, 5s. 



" We congratulate Miss Aguilar on the spirit, motive, and composition of this story. Her 

 aims are eminently moral, and her cause comes recommended by the most beautiful associa- 



ons. These, connected with the skill here evinced in their development, ensure the success 

 of her labours." Illustrated News. 



THE VALE OF CEDARS ; or, The Martyr. Fcap. 8vo, Illustrated, cloth 

 gilt, 5s. 



"The authoress of this most fascinating volume has selected for her field one of the most 

 remarkable eras in modern history the reigns of Ferdinand and Isabella. The tale turns on 

 the extraordinary extent to which concealed Judaism had gained footing at that period in 

 Spain. It is marked by much power of description, and by a woman's delicacy of touch, and 

 it will add to its writer's well-earned reputation." Eclectic Review. 

 THE DAYS OF BRUCE. A Story from Scottish History. Fcap. 8vo, 

 Illustrated, cloth gilt, 6s. 



" The tale is well told, the interest warmly sustained throughout, and the delineation of 

 female character is marked by a delicate sense of moral beauty. It is a work that may be 

 confided to the hands of a daughter by her parent." Court Journal. 

 HOME SCENES AND HEART STUDIES. Tales. Fcap. 8vo, with Fron- 

 tispiece, cloth gilt, 5s. 



" Grace Aguilar knew the female heart better than any writer of our day, and in every fiction 

 from her pen we trace the same masterly analysis and development of the motives and feel- 

 ings of woman's nature." Critic. 



THE WOMEN OF ISRAEL. Characters and Sketches from the Holy Scrip- 

 tures. 2 vols., fcap. 8vo, cloth gilt, 10s. 



"A work that is sufficient of itself to create and crown a reputation." M.n. S. C. Sail.
