The Speech of Monkeys Part 13

=THE SCAPEGOAT.= By HALL CAINE, Author of "The Bondman," &c.

_Mr. Gladstone writes:_--"I congratulate you upon 'The Scapegoat' as a work of art, and especially upon the n.o.ble and skilfully drawn character of Israel."

_Times._--"In our judgment it excels in dramatic force all his previous efforts. For grace and touching pathos Naomi is a character which any romancist in the world might be proud to have created."

=DAUGHTERS OF MEN.= By HANNAH LYNCH, Author of "The Prince of the Glades," &c.

=THE BONDMAN.= A New Saga. By HALL CAINE. Twentieth Thousand.

_Mr. Gladstone._--"'The Bondman' is a work of which I recognise the freshness, vigour, and sustained interest no less than its integrity of aim."

_Standard._--"Its argument is grand, and it is sustained with a power that is almost marvellous."

=A MARKED MAN=: Some Episodes in his Life. By ADA CAMBRIDGE, Author of "Two Years' Time," "A Mere Chance," &c.

_Morning Post._--"A depth of feeling, a knowledge of the human heart, and an amount of tact that one rarely finds. Should take a prominent place among the novels of the season."

_Pall Mall Gazette._--"Contains one of the best written stories of a mesalliance that is to be found in modern fiction."

=THE THREE MISS KINGS.= By ADA CAMBRIDGE, Author of "A Marked Man."

_Athenaeum._--"A charming study of character. The love stories are excellent, and the author is happy in tender situations."

_British Weekly._--"A novel to be bought and kept for re-reading. From beginning to end pure as the breath of a flower garden in June."

_National Observer._--"A pleasanter tale has not been told these many days. The picture of the three maidens is one of the most delightful in recent fiction."

=A ROMANCE OF THE CAPE FRONTIER.= By BERTRAM MITFORD, Author of "Through the Zulu Country," &c.

_Academy._--"The love story is a particularly pleasing one."

_Pall Mall Gazette._--"A very lively and a very picturesque story."

_Observer._--"This is a rattling tale, genial, healthy, and spirited."

=UNCLE PIPER OF PIPER'S HILL.= By TASMA. New Popular Edition.

_Guardian._--"Every page of it contains good wholesome food, which demands and repays digestion. The tale itself is thoroughly charming, and all the characters are delightfully drawn. We strongly recommend all lovers of wholesome novels to make acquaintance with it themselves, and are much mistaken if they do not heartily thank us for the introduction."

=IN THE VALLEY.= By HAROLD FREDERIC, Author of "The Lawton Girl,"

"Seth's Brother's Wife," &c. With Ill.u.s.trations.

_Times._--"The literary value of the book is high; the author's studies of bygone life presenting a life-like picture."

=MAMMON.= A Novel. By Mrs. ALEXANDER, Author of "The Wooing O't," &c.

_Scotsman._--"The present work is not behind any of its predecessors. 'Mammon' is a healthy story, and as it has been thoughtfully written it has the merit of creating thought in its readers."

=HAUNTINGS=: Fantastic Stories. By VERNON LEE, Author of "Baldwin,"

"Miss Brown," &c. &c.

_Pall Mall Gazette._--"Well imagined, cleverly constructed, powerfully executed. 'Dionea' is a fine and impressive idea, and 'Oke of Okehurst' a masterly story."

=MEA CULPA=: A Woman's Last Word. By HENRY HARLAND.

_Times._--"There is no denying its cleverness; it is the very reverse of conventional. The author in his social touches reminds us of About, and it would be difficult to say anything more flattering."
