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 poeticinsight, and this 
“Dream of the World’s Tragedy” is 
a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase 
of the supreme climax of the inspired 
narrative.’"—Dudblin Review.

THE MASTER CHRISTIAN. 
[z50th Thousand. 
‘Tt 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 
ofthe failure o the Churches—the decay 
of faith—in a manner which shows the 
inevitable disaster heaping up. . . The 
ood Cardinal Bonpré is a beautiful 
gure, fit to stand beside the good 
Bishop in “‘ Les Misérables” . . . The 
chapter in which the Cardinal appears 
with Manuel before Leo x11. is char- 
acterised by extraordinary realism and 
dramatic intensity ... It isa 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 8vo. 
THE GOD IN THE CAR. WMNinth 
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 
enjoyed 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.'—77mes.

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.’
