By the Author of 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,' 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes,' 'The Lost World,' &c.

_Punch._--'As rousing a sensation as the greediest of us could want. I can only praise the skill with which a most complete surprise is prepared.'

_Pall Mall Gazette._--'My Dear Watson! All good "Sherlockians" will welcome Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's new story with enthusiasm ... it is all very thrilling and very fine reading.'

Journeys with Jerry the Jarvey.

By the Hon. ALEXIS ROCHE.

_Scotsman._--'The stories are so good and the epigrams so quaint that one is loath to lay it down. A book that can call forth a hearty laugh on nearly every page.'

_Field._--'The stories are really irresistible, and there is not a dull page in the whole book.'

Oliver.

By B. PAUL NEUMAN.

Author of 'The Greatness of Josiah Porlick,' 'Chignett Street,' &c.

_Westminster Gazette._--'The first hundred pages contain as fine a piece of restrained realistic writing as our recent literature has put forth.

We laid down this very individual book with a wholesome respect for Mr.

Neuman's literary art.'

_Punch._--'The thing is remarkably well done, a close and unsparing treatment of a subject by no means easy ... an original and successful story.'

Two Who Declined.

By HERBERT TREMAINE.

_Evening Standard._--'A striking, even absorbing novel. Its author will certainly "count" before long.'

_Pall Mall Gazette._--'A very clever story, and a work of great promise.'

Some Elderly People and their Young Friends.

By S. MACNAUGHTAN.

Author of 'The Fortune of Christina McNab,' 'A Lame Dog's Diary,' &c.

_Globe._--'Miss Macnaughtan at her best. All her characters are charming. Her books are a sovereign remedy for depression and misanthropy.

_Daily Telegraph._--'One of the most engaging stories that we have read for a goodly while--a story full of lively wit and mellow wisdom.

Delightful is indeed the word which best sums up the whole book.'

In Brief Authority.

By F. Anstey,

Author of 'Vice Versa,' 'The Bra.s.s Bottle,' &c.

_Punch._--'In these days a fairy fantasy by Mr. F. Anstey comes like a breath from the old happiness ... compelling our laughter with that delightful jumble of magic and modernity of which he owns the secret.

"In Brief Authority" shows what I may call the Anstey formula as potent as ever. It is all excellent fooling.'

_Athenaeum._--'At any time this book would be welcome; it is doubly so to-day when a "short breathing-s.p.a.ce from the battle" is a recurring necessity.'

'K.'

By Mary Roberts Rinehart,

Author of 'The After House,' 'The Street of Seven Stars,' &c.

_Sunday Times._--'A book of whose unfailing charm, firmness of handling, and pervading atmosphere of understanding and sympathy, almost any living writer might be proud.'

_Morning Post._--'One of those books that have all the elements of a sudden and overwhelming popularity. Let us recommend it with what authority we can.'

For this I had borne Him.

By G. F. Bradby,

Author of 'd.i.c.k: a Story without a Plot,' 'When every Tree was Green,'

'The Lanchester Tradition,' &c.

_Punch._--'In my opinion the present d.i.c.k is not only entirely worthy of the earlier, but marks by far the highest level that Mr. Bradby has yet reached. It is not too much to think that this little book will live long as a witness to the spirit of England in her dark hour.'
