ANTHONY HOPE.  A CHANGE OF AIR.  By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of ’The Prisoner of Zenda,’ etc. Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature.  The characters are traced with a masterly hand.’—­Times.

ANTHONY HOPE.  A MAN OF MARK.  By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of ’The Prisoner of Zenda,’ ‘The God in the Car,’ etc. Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’A bright, entertaining, unusually able book, quite worthy of its brilliant author.’—­Queen.

’Of all Mr. Hope’s books, “A Man of Mark” is the one which best compares with “The Prisoner of Zenda.”  The two romances are unmistakably the work of the same writer, and he possesses a style of narrative peculiarly seductive, piquant, comprehensive, and—­his own.’—­National Observer.

CONAN DOYLE.  ROUND THE RED LAMP.  By A. CONAN DOYLE, Author of ’The White Company,’ ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,’ etc. Fourth Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’The book is, indeed, composed of leaves from life, and is far and away the best view that has been vouchsafed us behind the scenes of the consulting-room.  It is very superior to “The Diary of a late Physician."’—­Illustrated London News.

’Dr. Doyle wields a cunning pen, as all the world now knows.  His deft touch is seen to perfection in these short sketches—­these “facts and fancies of medical life,” as he calls them.  Every page reveals the literary artist, the keen observer, the trained delineator of human nature, its weal and its woe.’—­Freeman’s Journal.

’These tales are skilful, attractive, and eminently suited to give relief to the mind of a reader in quest of distraction.’—­Athenaeum.

STANLEY WEYMAN.  UNDER THE RED ROBE.  By STANLEY WEYMAN, Author of ’A Gentleman of France.’  With Twelve Illustrations by R. Caton Woodville. Seventh Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

A cheaper edition of a book which won instant popularity.  No unfavourable review occurred, and most critics spoke in terms of enthusiastic admiration.  The ‘Westminster Gazette’ called it ’a book of which we have read every word for the sheer pleasure of reading, and which we put down with a pang that we cannot forget it all and start again.’  The ‘Daily Chronicle’ said that ’every one who reads books at all must read this thrilling romance, from the first page of which to the last the breathless reader is haled along.’  It also called the book ‘an inspiration of manliness and courage.’  The ‘Globe’ called it ’a delightful tale of chivalry and adventure, vivid and dramatic, with a wholesome modesty and reverence for the highest.’

EMILY LAWLESS.  MAELCHO:  a Sixteenth Century Romance.  By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS, Author of ‘Grania,’ ‘Hurrish,’ etc. Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.
