AMONG THE WELSH HILLS 



By M. C. HALIFAX. 



"A thoroughly pure, and extremely well conceived and well written story.*** 

 Altogether we do not often meet with a story which we could more confidently 

 recommend than this one." — Literary World, 



" We wish our readers to take up the book for themselves, convinced that they 

 will not lay it down again until they have finished it.**"* The interest is well 

 sustained throughout, and we feel sure the book deserves to be popular." — 

 English Churchman* 



"The prologue is exceptionally vigorous and dramatic, while the relative 

 positions of the hero and heroine are so cleverly arranged as to make the whole 

 combination a very skilful piece of work.''*** — London. 



" it has a very dramatic prologue, a fair story, and certain touches of nature, 

 and may be read with more pleasure than is usually awakened by the average 

 novel. One is tempted to wish and earnestly, that at least half the novels sent 

 out year by year were as good and as amusing." — Academy.
