NUMA ROUMESTAN;
OR, JOY ABROAD AND GRIEF AT HOME.
By ALPHONSE DAUDET.

Translated by Mrs. J. G. Layard.

"'Numa Roumestan' is a masterpiece; it is really a perfect work; it has no fault, no weakness. It is a compact and harmonious whole."—Mr. Henry James.

"'Numa Roumestan' is a triumph for the art of literary seduction."—Spectator.

"The interest of the story is sustained from first to last. It has a charm of its own which will be felt long after its final page has been attained."—Morning Post.

COUNTESS SARAH.
By GEORGES OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster."

Translated from the 118th French Edition.

"The book contains some very powerful situations and first-rate character-studies."—Whitehall Review.

"The translation, which forms one of Vizetelly's capital series of one-volume novels, is a vigorous and obviously faithful one, and to an interesting plot must be added a number of strongly marked and cleverly drawn characters."—Society.

THIRD EDITION.
A MUMMER'S WIFE.
By GEORGE MOORE, Author of "A Modern Lover."

"'A Mummer's Wife' is a striking book, clever, unpleasant, realistic.... The woman's character is a very powerful study, and the strolling player, if less original, is not less completely presented.... No one who wishes to examine the subject of realism in fiction with regard to English novels can afford to neglect 'A Mummer's Wife.'"—AthenÆum.

"'A Mummer's Wife,' in virtue of its vividness of presentation and real literary skill, may be regarded as in some degree a representative example of the work of a literary school that has of late years attracted to itself a good deal of the notoriety which is a very useful substitute for fame."—Spectator.

"Mr. Moore shows unquestionable power in telling Kate Lennox's story, and the sketch of her second husband—big, frankly sensual, yet good-natured—is probably as good as anything of the kind could be."—Academy.

"'A Mummer's Wife' holds at present a unique position among English novels. It is a conspicuous success of its kind."—Graphic.

THE CORSARS;
OR, LOVE AND LUCRE.
By JOHN HILL, Author of "The Waters of Marah," "Sally," &c.

"It is indubitable that Mr. Hill has produced a strong and lively novel, full of story, character, situations, murder, gold-mines, excursions, and alarms. The book will give great pleasure to the 'proud male,' as M. Zola says, and is so rich in promise that we hope to receive some day from Mr. Hill a romance which will win every vote."—Saturday Review.

"The story is well worked out, and the characters have each and all a distinct backbone. The strong point of the novel is humour."—Life.

MR. BUTLER'S WARD.
By F. MABEL ROBINSON.

"A charming book, poetically conceived and worked out with tenderness and insight."—AthenÆum.

"'Mr. Butler's Ward' is a well-planned and well-executed novel. It is worked out with much insight and considerable incidental humour."—Academy.

"'Mr. Butler's Ward' is of exceptional merit and interest as a first novel. The style is excellent throughout."—Graphic.

PRINCE SERGE PANINE.
By GEORGES OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster."

Translated from the 110th French Edition.

This is the work that made M. Ohnet's reputation, and was crowned by the French Academy.

BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAWN.

"Strangely Wooed: Strangely Won," &c.
