Mr. Murray Gilchrist’s pictures of rural life have a large circle of admirers, and this book, which deals with the rich farming folk of the Peak district, is quite up to his usual high standard.
The torchlight procession at the great house, the loves of the rustic characters, and, finally, the wedding dance in the “Old Barn,” are all described in the dainty style with which this author has won such great popularity in his former works.

This volume is sure of a warm welcome from Mr. Becke’s numerous readers. The descriptions of life in the South Seas are told with his own particular charm, and the stories of “Tom Dennison,” the dare-devil hero of many of his former works, make this collection especially attractive.

Mr. Varden-Kingdom, “The Orphan-Monger,” can only be described as a “philanthropist” with the pious hypocrisy of a Uriah Heep, and the fiendish cunning of a Mr. Squeers.
How his schemes to obtain the fortune of Margaret Marston were brought to nought by the course of true love, forms a theme which holds the reader spell-bound to the last page.

TheQuicksandsof Life
Mr. Edge has already shown the public that he can tell a good story of Ireland, for his last book, “An Irish Utopia,” met with an enthusiastic reception. He has now drawn still further on his life experiences, for most of the scenes of his new novel are laid in London and very intimately connected with the Temple, while the Irish portion of the plot places the reader amidst the grazing farms of Munster, the extinction of which is now such a burning question.
“The Quicksands of Life” is, however, a novel pure and simple, and the reader need not be apprehensive of finding the work a mere treatise on the Irish Question.

TheKing’sCause
No writer of fiction has yet given us a book on the exciting events of the Seventeenth Century, when Bristol was twice successfully besieged within two years. In this story Mr. Grogan tells of the adventures of Bevil Copleigh, of the part he took in the surrender of Bristol to Prince Rupert, and in the subsequent capitulation of that Prince to Sir Thomas Fairfax.
With a strong element of love running through it, “The King’s Cause” will appeal to all as full of exciting adventure, while the careful manner in which the author has studied the period makes his work instructive as well as highly entertaining.

This is a pleasant, bright, wholesome novel, with a hint of difficulties manfully faced and the power of love to save. Dealing with the present the author does not shirk its difficulties, indeed, the drink question, too old at forty, divorce law, and other everyday problems all receive careful and delicate yet masterful handling; nevertheless, the story is the opposite of prosy, and makes good enjoyable reading.

A tale of social ambition, of startling adventure and of passionate love, placed against the background of the dazzling world of diplomacy.
Miss Macvane has written a story which is both pleasing and interesting, in fact, she has most successfully entered the domain where Anthony Hope and Henry Harland found such entertaining inspiration for the treatment of a highly romantic situation.
The portrayal of the characters is convincing; and the pictures of brilliant diplomatic functions are particularly vivid and realistic.

The Questof theAntique
This is not a book to appeal only to lovers of Old Furniture, but it is a work to stir and hold the interest of those who have never fallen under the spell of the charming and stately Furniture of the Past.
The two who write this unusual book inherited a kettle, bought a pair of candlesticks, and were given a Shaker chair; with this beginning they entered upon the enthusiastic pursuit of the walnut, the brass and the china of the Olden Time.
The story of what they found and their experiences in the finding, of the quaint old houses which, as circumstances permitted, they made their home, is all told with rare charm. In addition, the book is rich in reliable information concerning Antique Furniture of every kind and in helpful hints for others, both as regards buying and taste.
