_Priscilla and Charybdis._

"Mr. Frankfort Moore deserves the highest praise for the practised skill and easy mastery with which he handles the details of his story.

'Priscilla and Charybdis' will increase his already great and well-deserved reputation."--_British Weekly._

"Told with a vim and vividness and with a keen and caustic humour which charm and enchain you throughout."--_Truth._

_By H. M. RIDEOUT_

_The Twisted Foot._

_A New Novel_

_Dragon's Blood._

"Here is a fine spirit of adventure and of st.u.r.dy romance."--_Daily News._

"One of the best books which have appeared this year. From first to last the interest is sustained, and grips the reader in such a way as to make it impossible to put the book down. 'Dragon's Blood' is a work not only to be read, but to be bought and kept on our bookshelf."--_Observer._

"There is a keen sense of actuality and a fine flavour of romance about this book. It is a fine tale. All the characterisation, both of the Europeans and of the natives, is adequate, and some of it admirable. The style is strong and pungent. No book of such promise has come from America since Frank Norris's 'Shanghaied.'"--_Morning Post._

"Mr. Rideout has made his men and women good and bad, very much alive, and his clean, wholesome danger delightfully thrilling."--_Punch._

_By MARY JOHNSTON_

_Lewis Rand._

With Ill.u.s.trations in Colour by F. C. YOHN.

"There is a delicacy, a distinction, a force in the writing which raises the book into the highest plane. The story is enthralling, and the treatment of it is that of a great and true artist. This is not a story which pa.s.ses with the autumn, but remains among the memorable works of fiction."--_The Daily Telegraph._

"As good as her best; perhaps even a little better still."--_Punch._

_By Order of the Company._

[_14th Edition_

"'By Order of the Company' has more than fulfilled the promise of 'The Old Dominion' ... a tale of ingenious exciting adventure, at once catching the attention, and holding it from first to last."--_The Globe._

_The Old Dominion._

[_9th Edition_

"Since Thackeray wrote 'The Virginians' there has not been produced a more charming picture of life in Virginia in the old colonial days than is presented in Mary Johnston's romance 'The Old Dominion.'"--_The Daily Mail._

_Audrey._

[_5th Edition_

"A worthy successor to the two other brilliant novels she has already given us. The whole story is a beautiful and poetic conception, touched with lights and shadows of a quiet dry humour and restrained emotional intensity.... A powerful rememberable piece of work for which one has nothing but admiration and praise."--_The Bookman._

_Sir Mortimer._

[_4th Edition_

"'Sir Mortimer' will add to the debt owed to her by all who have read her books.... In the conception of the plot and its development, and in the creation of attractive characters, Miss Johnston's ability is of a very high order indeed."--_The Literary World._
