With six half-tone Illustrations by NEWTON BRABY. Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 6s. Scotland. — "Althougfh 'Twin Souls' belong-s to a serious type of fiction, best appreciated by students of life and other thoughtful persons, it is not without attractions for the general reader. To the latter it presents a succession of stirring and even exciting incidents ; to the former it offers in addition an instructive study of those subtle unseen forces which influence the thoughts and actions of men and women in their ordinary daily lives." Great Thoughts. — ''A charming story beautifully illustrated. . . . The style of the author is vhrid and flowing, and his de- scriptive power is excellent. ... So true are his delineations of family life that we are often reminded of the mastery of Jane Austen." Dundee Advertiser. — " The story runs on absolutely new lines." Mr. Macmillan, Glasgow, writes : — " I shall be glad to take five more copies of 'Twin Souls.' The author has set down beauti- fully that which was only a ' mysterious feeling ' often present with the writer. The reading of the book gave very great pleasure indeed, and the illustrations are simply perfect." An Art jfournal writes : — " ' Twin Souls ' is a work of fiction, but it is also something more. Possessing a well-contrived plot, it is a vivid and well-told narrative of absorbing interest. It also possesses a mystical charm, and presents a study of those spiritual forces which, exercising so great an influence on the actions of men and women, have a great attraction both for the thoughtful reader of fiction and the student of psychological phenomena. A vigorous attack on some of the burning evils of the day. such as gambling and the shady side of finance, also proclaim the book to be 'a novel with a purpose ' — a purpose which it admirably fulfils. Some charming drawings by Mr. Newton Braby illustrate the text. " 19 HALF A ROGUE By HAROLD MacGRATH Crown 8vo, Illustrated, Cloth, 6s.

Queen. — "The author's style is crisp and easy, and the dialogue is always very natural. . . . The book is delightfully illustrated by Mr. Harrison Fisher and is really a very readable novel."
