  • Sunrise: A Story of These Times. By William Black, Author of "A Princess of Thule, &c., (Special Australian Edition.) 7s. 6d. "The second title of Mr. Black's new novel is singularly apposite. The story which he tells is not simply 'of these times,' but of this moment. It deals with those secret societies, the workings of which have exploded on the public mind so suddenly and so terribly in the murder of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Black shows his old power on new ground. There is something wonderful in the constant freshness of Mr. Black's style . . . . . He has the gift of being romantic without sentimentality. Even with the recollection of Coquette and Sheila before us, we are inclined to think "Sunrise' Mr. Black's best novel. There are those who will always believe the 'Daughter of Heth' to be the sweetest of stories, yet even such must recognize the growth of power, the larger grasp, the stronger stroke in this last book. The magic art of description which is peculiarly his own has been used in it with more restraint, but equal effect."—Daily News.
  • Heirs of Errington, by E. J. Worboise. 6s. 6d.
  • Asphodel, by Miss Braddon. 7s. 6d.
  • Mary Marston: A Novel, by George Macdonald. 7s. 6d. "'Mary Marston' is a really admirable book. It is full of fine imagination and of brilliant comment, of good poetry in prose, and excellent and most trenchant wit; it is rich in force and in daring."—Truth.
  • Johnny Ludlow: (Second Series). A Collection of Stories, by Mrs. Henry Wood. (Bentley's Favourite Novels.) 7s. 6d. "The stories now printed are not at all below the average of those first published; and if the earlier contributions of 'Johnny Ludlow' to the Argosy were received with somewhat of the unstinted favour generally accorded to good work from an anonymous and presumably a new writer, Mrs. Wood deserves to retain her laurels for having struck out such a thoroughly distinct and pleasant path in fiction. The best characteristic of these short tales is the manner of their relation—quiet and yet vigorous, combining humour with pathos, and artlessly avoiding the temptation to exaggerate."—Athenæum.
  • Lord Brackenbury : A Novel, by Amelia B. Edwards. (Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library.) 7s. 6d. "A capital plot and excellent writing are the features of 'Lord Brackenbury.' Miss Edwards is as skilful in delineating character as she is in devising a plot. The story flows on with an easy current which is refreshing and pleasant."—Scotsman.
  • Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ, by L. Wallace, author of "The Fair God." 7s. 6d. "The design of the story is to illustrate the condition of tilings in and about Judæa at the time of the Redeemer's coming, and to portray in the hero the character and disposition of the Jewish youths, who, in the promised Messiah, looked for a political leader who should enable them to fling off the detested Roman yoke . . . . .The spirit in which Mr. Wallace writes is at once picturesque and eloquent, and yet thoroughly devotional. . . . It is written not only with considerable power, but with a rare and delicate appreciation of the majesty of the subject with which it presumes to deal."—New York Times.
