RED RYVINGTON. ByWilliam Westall, Author of “Larry Lohengrin,” &c. 3 vols.
“Mr. Westall writes of the manufacturing districts with knowledge, and in his hands the rough Lancashire folk and the grimy purlieus of the cotton towns lend themselves not unpicturesquely to the needs of fiction.”—Athenæum.
“One of the most readable novels of the year. The author’s interests are wide and intelligently directed, and his way of describing incident is exceedingly graphic. The conversations are both interesting and amusing, preserving, as they do, the racy and humorous manners and modes of expression of the self-made men who hold them.”—Daily News.
“A very pleasant and readable tale of English life and manners. The character of Dora, the honest, straightforward English girl, is very charming. Mr. Westall’s large circle of readers will welcome this latest effusion from his pen.”—Life.

“We advise all who can enjoy a pretty story, well told, to read ‘Gabrielle de Bourdaine.’ It is the best of Mrs. Spender’s novels. It is in her character-drawing that the author shows so marked an improvement.”—Standard.
“‘Gabrielle de Bourdaine’ is a pleasant story in its quiet and simple way. It is readable and attractive.”—Athenæum.
“Like every work of Mrs. Spender’s, this novel bears many traces of cultivated power and deep thought.”—John Bull.
“This novel is deeply interesting.... There are many passages which would make the reputation of a novelist. Gabrielle is drawn with a powerful pen, and is a delightful study.”—Scotsman.

SAINT AND SIBYL. ByC. L. Pirkis, Author of “A Very Opal,” “Wanted, An Heir,” &c. 3 vols.

THE BRANDRETHS. By theRight Hon. A. J. B. Beresford Hope, M.P., Author of “Strictly Tied Up.”Second Edition.3 vols.
“In ‘The Brandreths’ we have a sequel to Mr. Beresford Hope’s clever novel of ‘Strictly Tied Up,’ and we may add that it is a decided improvement on his maiden effort. He has not only laid a firmer grasp on some of those characters which in his earlier work were rather wanting in outline and individuality, but he has secured the interest of his readers by simplifying his story. ‘The Brandreths,’ although it abounds in the study of personal character, investigating the innermost life and analysing the feelings of the hero, is, nevertheless, in great measure a political novel. Mr. Hope writes of political life and the vicissitudes of parties with the knowledge and experience of a veteran politician. Not a few of the casual pictures of society are exceedingly faithful and lively. We repeat, in conclusion, that the novel is one which will repay careful reading.”—Times.
“There are many sayings in these volumes—many wise, many witty, many tender, many noble sayings—that we should wish to cite to our readers, but doubtless their pleasure will be greater in finding them out for themselves. The book is full of clever epigrams.”—Standard.

“‘New Babylon’ will attract attention at the libraries, where an exciting story is always welcome. The tale hurries along from one stirring incident to another, and compels the reader to admire the inventive power of the writers, and their ingenuity in weaving a complicated series of incidents.”—Era.

FORTUNE’S MARRIAGE. ByGeorgiana M. Craik, Author of “Dorcas,” “Anne Warwick,” &c. 3 vols.
“‘Fortune’s Marriage’ is gentle, tender, and unexaggerated. It is carefully written and has been carefully thought out.”—Daily News.
“‘Fortune’s Marriage’ is naturally and pleasantly written, like all Miss Craik’s stories. Both Fortune and Ronald are thoroughly well drawn.”—St. James’s Gazette.
