=IN G.o.d'S WAY.= From the Norwegian of BJoRNSTJERNE BJoRNSON.

_Athenaeum._--"Without doubt the most important and the most interesting work published during the twelve months.... There are descriptions which certainly belong to the best and cleverest things our literature has ever produced. Amongst the many characters, the doctor's wife is unquestionably the first.

It would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined than this charming personage."

=PIERRE AND JEAN.= From the French of GUY DE MAUPa.s.sANT.

_National Observer._--"The strongest work from the hand of a woman that has been published for many a day."

_Scottish Leader._--"The book is full of a glowing and living realism.... There is nothing like 'Fantasy' in modern literature.... It is a work of elfish art, a mosaic of light and love, of right and wrong, of human weakness and strength, and purity and wantonness, pieced together in deft and witching precision."

=FROTH.= From the Spanish of Don ARMANDO PALACIO-VALDeS.

_Daily Telegraph._--"Vigorous and powerful in the highest degree. It abounds in forcible delineation of character, and describes scenes with rare and graphic strength."

=FOOTSTEPS OF FATE.= From the Dutch of LOUIS COUPERUS.

_Daily Chronicle._--"A powerfully realistic story which has been excellently translated."

_Gentlewoman._--"The consummate art of the writer prevents this tragedy from sinking to melodrama. Not a single situation is forced or a circ.u.mstance exaggerated."

_New Review_ (Mr. George Saintsbury):--"There is no doubt at all that it is one of the best stories that have appeared in any country in Europe for the last twenty years."
