A Romantic Historical NoveL By "COVERTSIDE." Full cloth, price 6s.; postage 5d- The "Spectator" says:—'The tale cpens with a hunting day. and relates the adventures of the hero, Sir Charles Norwood, who is much concerned with General Monle in the Restora- tion. One Richard Gamble, the villain, is a thorough-paced specimen of the type, and ie nephew to the old knight, who meets his death at the hands of a deer-stealer. The author knows the history of the time when Monk and Lambert represented different parties. There is plenty of incident, .the interest is well-sus- tained. and it is a distinctly readable book." The "Hereford Times" says:—"The theme of Roundhead and Cavalier has never been treated in a. moro entertaining ma-nner than in the etory of A Day with Sounds. The author has imparted considerable vividnejSS to his descrip- tions of the troublous period of the Proteo- torate. while all his characters are endowed vith life and feeling, and not. the mere emptv puppets so common to present-day fiction. The portrayal of Master Gamble is especially skilful. Most lovable is the heroine; in her, womanhood shines at its best. The author's account of the chase is also a feature of the novel, and should prove a keen source of delight to sportsmen." The "Scotsman" says: — "An historical rcmance. full of racy incident. The book, as a whole, is thoroughly interesting, and the product of a literary ability of no mean order." "Land and Water" says:—"A story of great merit and rousing incident. Walter Scott haq here a pupil aaid a closi student. The influence of the master-hand may be detected on every page. The comparison is not altogether in favour of Scott, for. if he taught more. he was distinctly lees interesting and exciting. The stoT is nominally of the love affairs of three prettv girls: incidentafly it presents a picture •: f the F-nglard of Cromwell. The author is to be congratulated upon a well-written and highly interesting production, that cannot fail t,c make for him a reputation as a novelist." "Dryasdust" ("County Gentleman") says:—"I am delighted with 'A Day Witb Hounds.' The style of writing is so good, and at every turn something new crops ur. It abounds with startling incidents and situations, and does the author infinite credit." "The News of the World" says:—"Presents a j' bri-ht and sti -ring picture of the struggle between the Cavaliers and Roundheads. With a dexterous pen the author weaves the main features of that interesting period in a story as fascinating as it is well conceived. The ordinary peruser of a catalogue wouid never dream that under so placid a name so entrano- I intr a romance was concealed. The hunt which opens the story is described by a master hand. The "Western Mail" says:—"The various characters stand out with life-like distinctness. and at times we follow the narrative with almost painfal interest. It is pleasant to be able to commend i story which, in its scenes. its characters, its vigour, its robust humour, and its manly wholesomeness is thoroughly English. 'A Day With Hounds' will be appre- ciated when works that make a greater noise in their inception are thrown aside and elected." WESTERN ]ty[AIL T IMITED, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS. Chief Office ST.

Amongst the Stories which have been secured for this LARGE CHRISTMAS PAPER are the following:- -L THE CHRIST CHILD, By FLORENCE MARRYAT. a A pathetic story of an old couple who fear t they will have to enter the workhouse on i Christmas Day. They think they see a vision of the Christ Child beckoning them there. They bravely make up their minds to go, but are j saved by the unexpected interposition of s. son 1 and daughter, who have all the while been 1. arranging a comfortable home in which the worn old couple shall end their days. I THE OLD CHUUCH CLOCK. j By MARY H. TENNYSON. c Miss Tennyson has written a tale impreg- nated with Christmas sentiment and strong in I dramatic situations. A returned emigrant, j rich, and still young, reaches bome to find that' the girl he loved has engaged herself to a miser, in order to shield her father from an ( attempted forgery. By a deft manipulation ( of the "Old Church Clock." and after many I exciting incidents, the girl is rescued from her I engagement, and restored to the arms of her true lover. iT fTIHE MYSTERY OF MAKSDEN -1- MANTOR, • By MARION WYYBORNE. jl This is a Christmas story of the old. I fashioned kind. It relates how a man of great I wealth has left all his money to a hypocritical nephew, while he has unwittingly disinherited his favourite nephew, who is thereby unable I to marry the girl of his choice. But it turns out that the death was a bogus one, the two young men having been submitted to a period of probation so that the reality of their pro- fessed affection could be tested, and the story ends happily with the resurrection of Sir Henry Marsden.
