BRESSANT. A Romance. By Julian Hawthorne. 2 vols. Crown 8vo.

"The son's work we venture to say is worthy of the sire. The story as it stands is one of the most powerful with which we are acquainted."-Times.

Pretty certain of meeting in this country a grateful and appreciative reception.". Athenæum.

"Mr. Julian Hawthorne is endowed with a large share of his father's peculiar genius." -Pall Mall Gazette.

"Enough to make us hopeful that we shall once more have reason to rejoice whenever we hear that a new work is coming out written by one who bears the honoured name of Hawthorne."-Saturday Review.

HONOR BLAKE: THE STORY OF A PLAIN WOMAN. By Mrs. Keatinge, Author of "English Homes in India," &c. 2 vols. Crown 8vo.

"One of the best novels we have met with for some time."-Morning Post.

"A story which must do good to all, young and old, who read it."-Daily News.

OFF THE SKELLIGS. By Jean Ingelow. (Her First Romance.) Crown 8vo. In 4 vols.

"Clever and sparkling."-Standard.

"We read each succeeding volume with increasing interest, going almost to the point of wishing there was a fifth."Athenæum.

"The novel as a whole is a remarkable one, because it is uncompromisingly true to life."-Daily News.

SEETA. By Colonel Meadows Taylor, Author of "Tara," "Ralph Darnell," &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

"The story is well told, native life is admirably described, and the petty intrigues of native rulers, and their hatred of the English, mingled with fear lest the latter should eventually prove the victors, are cleverly depicted."-Athenæum.

"We cannot speak too highly of Colonel Meadows Taylor's book. We would recommend all novel-readers to purchase it at the earliest opportunity."-John Bull. "Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable reading."-Examiner.

HESTER MORLEY'S PROMISE. By Hesba Stretton. 3 vols.

"Hester Morley's Promise' is much better than the average novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical consideration as a piece of literary work,-not mere mechanism. The pictures of a narrow Society-narrow of soul and intellect-in which the book abounds, are very clever." -Spectator.

"Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special excellence in character, drawing, or construction-though all the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and the interest of the story never flags-as in general tone and colouring."-Observer.

ROMANTIC ANNALS OF A NAVAL FAMILY. By Mrs. Arthur Traherne. Crown 8vo. IOS. 6d.

THE SPINSTERS OF BLATCHINGTON. By Mar. Travers. 2 vols. Crown 8vo.

"A pretty story. Deserving of a favourable reception."-Graphic.

The Athenæum says that "the book is full of Hawthorne's most characteristic writing."

years ago. With a Preface, by Sir H.
Bartle E. Frere, G. C. S.I., &c. 2 vols.
Crown 8vo. Price 21s.

"There is a quaintness and simplicity in the roguery of the hero that makes his life as attractive as that of Guzman d'Alfarache or Gil Blas, and so we advise our readers not to be dismayed at the length of Pandurang Hari, but to read it resolutely through. If they do this they cannot, we think, fail to be both amused and interested."-Times. HERMANN AGHA, An Eastern Narrative. By W. Gifford Palgrave, Author of "Travels in Central Arabia," &c. 2 vols. Crown 8vo, cloth, extra gilt. 18s. "Reads like a tale of life, with all its incidents. The young will take to it for its love portions, the older for its descriptions, some in this day for its Arab philosophy."-Athenæum.

There is a positive fragrance as of newlymown hay about it, as compared with the artificially perfumed passions which are detailed to us with such gusto by our ordinary novel-writers in their endless

volumes."-Observer.
