JOHN LONG'S ANNOUNCEMENTS
All JOHN LONG'S Books are published in their Colonial Library as nearly as possible simultaneously with the English Editions
SIX SHILLING NOVELS
Crown 8vo., Cloth Gilt. Many in Three-Colour Wrappers
THE GREATER LAW.By Victoria Cross, Author of "Anna Lombard," "Five Nights," "The Life Sentence," "Life of My Heart," etc.
"The Greater Law" is a story that touches the deepest currents of human feeling, vibrating with power and intensity perhaps even more than those which have previously emanated from the pen of this intrepid writer. The many episodes of a brief romance are treated naturally and sincerely and with masterly ability. It is, indeed, a typical Victoria Cross novel.
SUNRISE VALLEY.By Marion Hill, Author of "The Lure of Crooning Water," etc. [Not supplied to Canada.]
"The Lure of Crooning Water," by Marion Hill, was one of the fictional landmarks of last year, consequently her succeeding book is bound to evoke more than ordinary interest. "Sunrise Valley" involves a contrast between the ideals of Town and Country; the wealth of Stanley Ballantyne, manliest of millionaires, is confronted with the independence of Blanche Dering, sweetest of heroines. The novel should set the seal upon a victorious beginning.
THE WOMAN RUTH.By Curtis Yorke, Author of "The Vision of the Years," etc.
Readers of Curtis Yorke do not need to be commended to her latest novel. The secret of her continued success is that she never gives us less than her best. "The Woman Ruth" epitomises the qualities of head and heart to which she has accustomed us. An optimistic view of life—tenderness, humour, human sympathy—these are the main weapons in this gifted author's bright and shining armoury.
SYLVIA.By Upton Sinclair, Author of "The Jungle," "The Moneychangers," etc. [Not supplied to Australia or Canada.]
"Sylvia" is the greatest work that has come from the pen of this brilliant author, surpassing "The Jungle" both in the bigness of its theme and in its dramatic intensity. Just as the timeliness of "The Jungle" promoted its great success, so "Sylvia" appears at the psychological moment when social questions are to the front. It is a fascinating story, presenting a girl-character more charming, more powerful, more remarkable in every way than Mr. Sinclair has yet drawn, while beneath lies a vein of serious purpose, a criticism of contemporary ethics which ranks it among the profoundest moral forces of the day.
DESMOND O'CONNOR.By George H. Jessop, Author of "His American Wife," etc.
Desmond O'Connor was a good fighter, a brisk wooer, and a breezy companion on the march or in the bivouac. He was one of the many wandering Irishmen who drew the sword for France after the siege of Limerick. It was while in the service of Louis XIV., in Flanders, that he met the lovely Countess Margaret, and surrendered to her charms. One will find a no more romantic story of love and war than is contained in these pages.
BLESSINGTON'S FOLLY.By Theodore Goodridge Roberts, Author of "Love on Smoky River," etc. [Not supplied to Canada.]
The qualities which made "Love on Smoky River" such an instantaneous and unqualified success are again brought into play in the present novel. The author unfolds his theme with skill and power, and fully maintains the reputation he has gained for telling a good story well.
AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE. By Violet Tweedale, Author of "The House of the Other World," etc.
This is a book of a very unusual type. It is a powerful novel dealing with Satanism, an evil cult which is making great headway in Europe. The man who forms the unholy alliance is Canon Gilchrist, who has been unfairly deprived of a peerage, and hopes to regain his position by the help of the Powers of Darkness. There is a charming love element, and the story shows the author at her best.
A GAMBLE FOR LOVE. By Nat Gould. (For Complete List of Nat Gould's Novels see pages 12 and 13).
This novel follows "A Fortune at Stake," the first novel by Nat Gould to be issued at the outset at 6s. The innovation was an immediate success. The new tale, "A Gamble for Love," should undoubtedly win for itself many admirers. The hero and heroine have strong dominating personalities, and the love interest is well sustained. The element of sport of course prevails, and the book may fairly be said to be as thrilling as any Mr. Nat Gould has written.
THE SECRET CALLING.. By Olivia Ramsey, Author of "Callista in Revolt," etc.
This is a love story of unusual charm dealing with the fortunes of two girls. An artist falls in love with one; the other rejects the brilliant marriage arranged for her by her worldly aunt. Each girl seeks safety in flight. How both are finally won by the men who love them is convincingly described by the author. In this book she again displays her acknowledged skill as a clever novelist.
THE SNAKE GARDEN.By Amy J. Baker, Author of "I Too Have Known," "The Impenitent Prayer," etc.
As with her two previous successes the scene is laid in South Africa. Miss Baker writes with a realism that is the outcome of personal experience. Theo, the heroine, is an unusual type of girl, and how she straightens out her life is told with rare humour and psychological insight. The book is remarkable for its clear-cut pictures of Colonial life.
THE BELOVED PREMIER.By H. Maxwell, Author of "Mary in the Market," "The Paramount Shop," etc.
The author imagines what would happen in England were the authorities to govern with absolute disinterestedness and singleness of purpose. The picture thus drawn depicts a topsy-turvy world indeed. The story is told with much humour and many shrewd thrusts at our most cherished institutions. It is an unusual book replete with good things.
THREE SUMMERS.By Victor L. Whitechurch, Author of "The Canon in Residence," "Left in Charge," etc.
Here is a book that will appeal to all who love a good plot and plenty of incident. It runs along fresh and sparkling and true to the end. The hero and heroine are cleverly depicted in this charming romance, which teems with lovable characters. It is a novel which enhances the reputation of this popular author.
THE RESIDENCY.By Henry Bruce, Author of "The Eurasian," "The Native Wife," etc.
The previous novels by Henry Bruce have secured for him an appreciative following. Like its predecessors, "The Residency" is a story of life in India. The heroine is a beautiful Eurasian who, after twenty-two years of sheltered life in England, rashly returns to India. The novel is an account of the passionate attachment she forms for a Native of rank. Mr. Bruce has a power of humour all too rare in these days. He tells the narrative in a masterly way.
PAUL MOORHOUSE.By George Wouil, Author of "Sowing Clover."
The Morning Postsaid, in reviewing the author's first novel, "Sowing Clover": "We shall look for Mr. Wouil's future with every anticipation of continuous and increasing delight." The second novel is another Black Country study, but of much greater dramatic power. It depicts the central character, reared in poverty, without influence or promise; of the struggles of youth; of artisan life, the prospect of a "little 'ome" and drab respectability; of ambition; of the coming of love; of the making of a gentleman, and the battle with environment.
THE WIDOW OF GLOANE.By D. H. Dennis, Author of "Crossroads," etc.
Mr. D. H. Dennis is one of the most promising exponents of the modern school of fiction. His new Work contains a capital idea. Phyllis, the heroine, who is a charming young widow when the story opens, meets and marries the playmate of her childhood. The narrative is full of good things, of wit as well as wisdom, and readers who like their fiction to be brainy as well as human will thoroughly enjoy its pages.
THE BARBARIANS.By James Blyth, Author of "Rubina," "Amazement," etc.
The marital relationship is the keynote of "The Barbarians" Original, virile, human, bold and sympathetic, the novel, both in interest and craftsmanship, is a worthy successor of a sequence of brilliantly limned portraits of the feminine character. It is the tale that matters, and as a story teller Mr. Blyth may well challenge comparison.
UNDER COVER OF NIGHT.By R. Murray Gilchrist, Author of "Weird Wedlock," etc.
A book of vivid atmosphere, probably the best of this author's novels of incident. Throughout, the strange country background, with its swiftly moving folk, gentle and simple, reminds one of a weird and fascinating drama. The contrast between the quiet inn house, and the dilapidated hall with its guilty secret, is admirably depicted. The plot is excellently fashioned and the unfolding of the mystery done with admirable restraint. The author understands to perfection the art of thrilling his readers.
MAIDS OF SALEM.By K. L. Montgomery, Author of "The Gate-Openers," "The Cardinal's Pawn," etc.
The witch-persecution of New England, one of the most dramatic chapters of American history, is the theme of K. L. Montgomery's new novel. The scene is Salem, Massachusetts Bay. The story is one of tragedy and romance, told in the inimitable way with which the author's admirers have been so charmed by her previous books.
THE DICE OF LOVE.By Edmund Bosanquet Author of "A Society Mother," "Mary's Marriage," etc.
Since the days of "A Society Mother," Mr. Edmund Bosanquet has gone far, and this, his latest romance, will more than satisfy the expectations of his admirers. The characters are never insipid, and have the happy knack of getting on the right side of the reader immediately. There is a sustained brilliance about the book which augurs well for its success.
THE MEMOIRS OF PRINCESS ARNULF.
These reminiscences form the record of the intimate life of the Princess Arnulf and her royal relatives. Not for many years has a work of such extraordinary interest been given to the reading public. It is the mart of news, of scandal, of rumour, of intrigue, of a galaxy of princes, courtiers, men and women of rank and fashion, of sullied virtue and invidious attachments.
WHY SHE LEFT HIM.By Florence Warden, Author of "Love's Sentinel," etc.
Miss Warden's gypsy heroine forms a very interesting study. It would be unfair to explain the plot of the story, but behind it is tragedy. The hero, Lord Tregaron, is a well-drawn personage, and so, indeed, are the other characters clustered around the charming heroine.
THE MAZE.By A. L. Stewart.
"The Maze" is the love story of a famous operatic singer who marries her protégé, a violinist considerably younger than herself. As is inevitable, their gifts clash and jealousy ensues. The plot is cleverly unfolded, and the book reaches a satisfactory conclusion. The scene is laid in London, Paris, and the West of England.
THE OYSTER.By a Peer, Author of "The Hard Way," "The Decoy Duck," etc.
The Novels of a Peer are distinguished among present-day fiction by their brilliant literary qualities and their deep emotional appeal to human hearts and sympathies. They are addressed to men and women who know the world and the significance of life: their keynote is strength. Themotifof this enthralling story is centred upon the maternal instinct—the profoundest of all human feelings. An idea of consummate originality is presented in a manner free from reproach or any suspicion of pruriency.
A MILLION FOR A SOUL.By Mrs. C. E. Phillimore, Author of "Two Women and a Maharajah."
An Irish patriot bequeaths to his child, as her sole inheritance, his love for drink. She marries in India and through constant strain succumbs to the degrading habit. Cast off by her husband, her lover seeks to regain her and effect her regeneration. The story ends with this achieved, though the manner of its accomplishment is by way of the unexpected.
THE WHITE VAMPIRE.By A. M. Judd, Author of "Lot's Wife," etc.
This is a powerful story of love, hate, revolution, and revenge, woven around the central figure of a beautiful, fascinating, unscrupulous woman who lures men to ruin and then dooms them to a horrible fate. Retribution overtakes her at last through the love of one of her victims. The book contains many thrilling episodes, and the ending is highly dramatic.
LAW THE WRECKER.By Charles Igglesden, Author of "Clouds," etc.
Is it feasible that a sane man may be sent to a lunatic asylum? This vital question is answered by Mr. Igglesden in "Law the Wrecker." The author is especially qualified to deal with the subject, as he has acted as certifying magistrate for many years and been a governor of a county lunatic asylum. Life in a lunatic asylum is vividly and truthfully described. The plot is an exciting one with many dramatic situations, a young Colonial trying against heavy odds to prove his sanity to the girl he loves, and she in turn struggling with the doubt that racks her mind.
MARY'S MARRIAGE.By Edmund Bosanquet, Author of "A Society Mother," "Catching a Coronet," etc.
Securing public favour at the first time of asking—such is this author's almost unique record. That he has come to stay may be gathered from the progressive successes he has achieved since the days of "A Society Mother." This novel follows its predecessors in that it makes the same direct appeal to the average human heart. Readers in their thousands and tens of thousands will rejoice to know something about the heroine and her wayward marriage.
THE ENCHANTING DISTANCE.By Lilian Arnold, Author of "The Storm-Dog," etc.
This is a love story, in the development of which it becomes apparent that things are seldom what they seem and that the most passionate attachments are rarely based on pure reason. The adventures of the heroine in search of a life of her own in London are told with much humour.
A BESPOKEN BRIDE.By Fred Whishaw, Author of "Nathalia," etc.
Mr. Fred Whishaw's description in this novel of the gallant little nation, Finland, fighting to a man and woman against inevitable absorption by the irresistible giant at the threshold, is moving and holds the reader. Every Finn is a resister, active or passive. Some fight wisely, some foolishly, but all fight and all sacrifice self for the sake of the Motherland and her disappearing rights and privileges.
SALAD DAYS.By the Author of "Improper Prue," "The Price of Possession," etc.
This amusing novel can well be called a comedy of youth, for it depicts the invasion of a well-ordered English bachelor by a good-intentioned humourless Irish girl and twin young men of free and easy disposition. The bachelors are Mr. Weatherby, most chivalrous of victims, and his nephew, Richard Torr, an Oxford exquisite, who tries hard to save his own and his uncle's dignity under the most trying conditions. It is a book that men and women will laugh at and enjoy.
FROM PILLAR TO POST.By Alice M. Diehl, Author of "Incomparable Joan," etc.
For the many readers of Mrs. Diehl's novels the present story will be rather a new departure in female portraiture. The heroine's aristocratic descent, conflicting with her father's democratic ideas, is the pivot on which much of the tale turns. Her experiences as a wife, and yet all the time no wife, go to make up a very fascinating romance which shows that the author has lost none of her power.
CALLISTA IN REVOLT.By Olivia Ramsey, Author of "A Girl of No Importance," etc.
This dainty love-story is told with great charm and skill. A beautiful girl is forced, through adverse circumstances, to lead a monotonous existence in an isolated village. It is here that she is discovered by the wealthy Bruce Armadale, whose force of character is powerfully drawn. A dazzling dancer of London fame is introduced as a dangerous rival for his affection, and her plot to separate the lovers is convincingly told.
THE RANSOM FOR LONDON.By J. S. Fletcher, Author of "The Bartenstein Case," etc.
This is one of the most enthralling conceptions that has yet appeared in realistic fiction. From the advent of the stranger at the week-end retreat of the Prime Minister, with his demand for ten millions sterling as the ransom for London, right through to the end, the narrative compels attention. Mr. Fletcher has in this story surpassed himself.
ANGELS IN WALES.By Margam Jones, Author of "The Stars of the Revival," etc.
A tale of Welsh life in the last century, describing faithfully and vividly, in the glow of a sympathetic imagination, the joys and sorrows of the Celtic soul, and having for its central theme the all-important problem of true life. Here the lover of fiction will be continually charmed by a mysterious revelation of hidden life clothed in a new dress of spiritual psychology.
THE PRICE OF CONQUEST.By Ellen Ada Smith, Author of "The Only Prison," etc.
The story has its setting partly in the west country and partly amidst the changes and chances of London musical life. As a risen Star, Sigismund Wirth is happy as only the successful can be. How at last his weakness is discovered and his final victory over self achieved is shown in this clever novel.
FAITH AND UNFAITH.By James Blyth, Author of "Rubina," "Amazement," etc.
This novel is the study of a woman's love. The theme is developed with the certainty of touch and the clearness of vision which are the gifts of experience in life and art. It is as engrossing as the author's previous works, and a notable addition to his gallery of brilliant pen portraits of beautiful, frail women.
THE RED WEDDING.By E. Scott Gillies, Author of "A Spark on Steel," etc.
The novel deals with one of the stormiest periods of history and of the fierce feud between two Highland Clans, each so powerful that Queen Elizabeth sought to gain their friendship for England against the Scottish Sovereign, James IV. It is a story of love and jealousy and the gradual success of the true lover in the face of all obstacles.
ENVIRONMENT.By Mrs. A. M. Floyer.
The story illustrates the influence of environment upon character. The plot consists of episodes, amatory, humorous and otherwise, in the lives of people who are not always in their proper element. It should appeal to all who like something out of the beaten track.
