TWENTY-SECOND THOUSAND.

STEPHEN REMARX.

_THE STORY OF A VENTURE IN ETHICS._ BY THE HON. AND REV. JAMES ADDERLEY.

Small 8vo., elegantly bound, 3s. 6d.; paper, 1s.

_Daily Telegraph._

'Written with a vigour, warmth, and sincerity which cannot fail to captivate the reader's attention and command his respect.'

_Sat.u.r.day Review._

'Let us express our thankfulness at encountering, for once in a way, an author who can amuse us.'

_Star._

'The book is charmingly written.'

_Guardian._

'Not only do we agree with Mr. Adderley in his general objects, and in many of his fundamental principles, but we believe that the path of reform lies very much in the direction to which he has pointed.'

_Daily Chronicle._

'The story is one of a novel kind, and many people will find it interesting and very suggestive.'

_Rock._

'A little but very notable volume.'

_Record._

'A little book, but one of which much will be heard.'

DAVE'S SWEETHEART.

BY MARY GAUNT.

One vol., 8vo., cloth, 3s. 6d.

_Spectator._

'It is interesting to watch the literature which is coming over to us from Australia, a portion of which is full of promise, but we may safely say that of all the novels that have been laid before readers in this country, "Dave's Sweetheart," in a literary point of view and as a finished production, takes a higher place than any that has yet appeared. From the opening scene to the closing page we have no hesitation in predicting that not a word will be skipped even by the most _blase_ of novel readers.'

_Daily Telegraph._

'In every respect one of the most powerful and impressive novels of the year.'

_Tablet._

'Essentially a strong book. The writer has a wonderfully clean way of describing the elemental facts of life, and lets her plummet-line go down deep into the depths of human tears. The book is of interest down to the last line.'

_Weekly Sun._

'The narrative is throughout animated, and rises occasionally to heights of great dramatic power, whilst the picture of life in the diggings is delineated in a way that compels admiration.'

_Morning Post._

'The action is rapid and well-developed, the incidents exciting, as becomes the nature of the subject, and the human interest unusually deep.'

_Times._

'A vigorous and dramatic story of the early gold-digging days in Victoria. "Dave's Sweetheart" is a good story.'

_Guardian._

'Many books of Australian life have come before us lately, and to none of them are we inclined to give more honest praise than to "Dave's Sweetheart."'

_Speaker._

'Alike from a dramatic and a literary point of view, "Dave's Sweetheart"

is admirably told, with restraint and with distinction.'
