COUNT HANNIBAL.

SPECTATOR.—'Genuinely exciting up to the last page.'

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—'The reader will be scarcely conscious of taking breath. There is a perfect mastery of picturesque incident set down in excellent prose.... Mr. Weyman has proved once more that in this field of romance he is far superior to his competitors.'

ATHENÆUM.—'The best of Mr. Weyman's novels that we have seen for some time.... The book is rapid, is absorbing, and the hero is a distinctly interesting character.'

ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—'Excellent reading.... Every one who has left a vestige of liking for good, virile, stirring stuff will enjoy "Count Hannibal."'

FIFTH EDITION. With a Frontispiece. Crown 8vo. 6s.

THE CASTLE INN.

TIMES.—'A story which the reader follows with excited curiosity, and his characters are not only admirable in themselves, but true to their period. The opening scene is of the essence of romance, and worthy of Damas. In brief, author and readers are to be congratulated, and, as the Toad in the Hole says, "This is what you can recommend to a friend."'

SPECTATOR.—'A happy combination of the qualities of his earlier and later works—alert narrative and wealth of incident, coupled with careful portraiture and development of character.'

GUARDIAN.—'The story is told in Mr. Weyman's best manner—and how good that is nobody needs to learn at this time of day.'

DAILY NEWS.—'Mr. Weyman has written nothing informed with more charm more dash, or more character.'

QUEEN.—'A most fascinating book. Mr. Weyman has given us one of the fine heroines of fiction, and almost from the start to the finish we are kept on tenterhooks to know what is about to happen to our fascinating Julia.'

Fcp. 8vo. boards, Pictorial Cover, 2s.; or limp red cloth, 2s. 6d.

THE NEW RECTOR.

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—'If he did not know that Anthony Trollope was no more, a reader who took up "The New Rector" might well suppose that he was reading Trollope, and during that novelist's best period.'

BRITISH WEEKLY.—'In "The New Rector" Mr. Stanley J. Weyman has achieved a distinct success. The book is carefully planned, admirably written, without a single superfluous word, and full of a gentle and wise charity. It will add much to the author's already high reputation.'

PALL MALL GAZETTE.—'Mr. Weyman certainly knows how to write, and he writes about what he knows.... "The New Rector" is a book of genuine interest.'

GLASGOW HERALD.—'The plot is new, and well justified in the working out. In this novel setting, the familiar figures of the country parsonage tale stand out with wonderful freshness.'
