NE W BOOKS 



Days of Yore. By Sarah Tytler, 



Author of " Citoyenne Jacqueline." 2 Vols, post 8vo, 21s. 



"The concentrated power which 

 we admire in ' Citoyenne Jacqueline ' 

 is precisely the kind of power to in- 

 sure an equal success to the author 

 in 'Days of Yore.' No story in the 

 book disappoints us ; each has ' the 

 virtue of a full draught in a few 

 drops;' and in each there is the 

 quintessence of such a novel as 

 Thackeray might have written." — 

 Pall Mall Gazette. 



"Every quality of merit which 

 was conspicuous in ' Citoyenne Jac- 

 queline ' is apparent here also. The 

 first tales in these volumes give us 

 some of the finest descriptions of 

 scenery we have ever read, while the 

 meditative mood into which Miss 

 Tytler frequently falls in these 

 eighteenth-century reminiscences is 

 very like that delightful chit-chat 

 with which Thackeray indulged his 

 readers so often." — Spectator. 



Doctor Austins Guests. By William 



Gilbert, Author of " Shirley Hall Asylum," &c. 2 Vols, 

 post 8vo, 2 is. 



"Mr Gilbert is one of our best 

 story-tellers, and we cannot give 

 much higher praise to ' Dr Austin's 

 Guests' than to sav that it is quite as 

 clever a book as ' Shirley Hall.' It is 

 individual. No other known writer 

 could have written such a book so 

 well. From the first page to the last 

 nobody is in his senses. With all 

 this, the firm consistency to a right 

 reason of unreason in every sketch is 

 remarkable. . . . This is one of the 

 small number of works of current 

 fiction that are not made only to be 

 borrowed from a lending library, but 

 are worth putting on one's book- 

 shelves." — Examiner. 



" It is seldom that we find fiction 

 bearing such a strong resemblance 

 to fact as in this work. With such 

 artistic skill are its personages deli- 

 neated, with such workmanlike care 

 have its details been executed, with 

 such gravity have its most extrava- 

 gant incidents been narrated, that an 

 air of reality hangs about the whole 

 production which it requires an effort 

 of the mind to dispel. 'Dr Austin's 

 Guests' is certainly one of the most 

 curious and entertaining works of 

 fiction recently produced." — Daily 

 News. 



London Poems. By Robert Buch- 



anan, Author of "Idyls and Legends of Inverburn," &c. 

 Small 8vo, 5s. 



" No volume of poems has appeared 

 for many years in London which so 

 certainly announces a true poetic 

 fame. " — Spectator. 



"These 'London Poems' make 



good the promise of 'Undertones.' 

 They are true and genuine work ; 

 the result of real observation and 

 personal emotion." — Atlienceum. 



Views and Opinions. By Matthew 



Browne. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



" Mr Matthew Browne's volume of 

 essays is the work of a highly sen- 

 sitive and cultivated mind. There is 

 a rare and original vein of sportive 

 humour running throughout its pages. 

 .... These are rare qualities ; and 

 the book in which they are displayed 

 has few if any recent equals." — West- 

 minster Review. 



"This book of essays is brimful of 

 good thought and feeling, and notice- 

 able for many new and true things 

 thoroughly expressed. In an unpre- 

 tending form it contains more abso- 

 lute reflection on men and things 

 than many pretending folios." — Atlie- 

 fueum.
