THE COURTSHIP OF MORRICE BUCKLER. By A. E. W. Mason.
PUNCH.—“Readers will, unless gratitude be extinct, thank me for my strong recommendation as to the excellent entertainment provided for them in The Courtship of Morrice Buckler.”
GRAPHIC.—“A fine stirring narrative it is. Mr. Mason is a new recruit to the growing school of historical romancers in which Mr. Stanley Weyman and Mr. Conan Doyle are conspicuous figures, and he promises to make himself well worthy of his company. The ‘Record of the Growth of an English Gentleman during the years 1685–1687 under strange and difficult circumstances’ is a gallant and chivalrous story, cast in a period and among scenes of which I, at least, am never tired of reading.”
HIS HONOR AND A LADY. By Mrs. Everard Cotes (Sara Jeannette Duncan). Illustrated by A. D. McCormick.
DAILY CHRONICLE.—“We are inclined to place it as the best book that Mrs. Everard Cotes has yet written. The story is exceedingly well told, is everywhere witty. It has that charm of atmosphere which India yields so readily for the canvas of a consummate artist.”
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—“This is a fascinating story of Anglo-Indian life, accurate in detail and true to nature. The authoress has not only maintained the high standard of her Simple Adventures of a Mem-Sahib, but surpassed it. This is praise, but true.”
ADAM JOHNSTONE’S SON. By F. Marion Crawford.
DAILY NEWS.—“Mr. Crawford has written stories richer in incident and more powerful in intention, but we do not think that he has handled more deftly or shown a more delicate insight into tendencies that go towards making some of the more spiritual tragedies of life.”
SPEAKER.—“A book to be enjoyed by everybody.”
