“A powerful story. It is impossible to do justice to its lofty purpose and its rare merits in the limits of a review.”—John Bull.

“In ‘Paul Faber’ Dr. Mac Donald adds to his high reputation. The plot is deeply interesting, the characters are life-like, and the incidents remarkably striking.”—Court Journal.

KELVERDALE. By the Earl of Desart. 3 vols.

“Lord Desart’s book is agreeable and amusing. It is a spirited novel, pleasantly written, and full of clever pictures of the society of to-day, evidently sketched from life.”—Morning Post.

MICHELLE AND LITTLE JACK. By Frances Martin, Author of “The Life of Angélique Arnauld.” 1 vol. 10s. 6d.

“These stories are masterpieces. The stamp of genius is apparent in every page.”—Examiner.

“Far above the average of novels in literary merit, greatly above in moral tone and purpose, and equal in interest to any novel of the season, is the volume which contains the tales of Michelle and Little Jack.”—John Bull.

A TRUE MARRIAGE. By Emily Spender, Author of “Restored,” “Son and Heir,” &c. 3 vols.

THE PRIMROSE PATH. By Mrs. Oliphant, Author of “Chronicles of Carlingford,” &c. 3 vols.

“Mrs. Oliphant’s last novel has merits which will recommend it to the general public, and it should be hailed with something like enthusiasm by all who happen to have, like Sir Ludovic Leslie, ‘a warm heart for Fife.’ A prettier Scotch story it would be hard to find, and the refinement of its humour and picturesqueness of its descriptive setting cannot fail to be appreciated. There is not a character without individuality from one end of the book to the other.”—Athenæum.

A CHEQUERED LIFE. By Mrs. Day, Author of “From Birth to Bridal,” &c. 3 vols.

“An excellent novel: fresh, interesting, and entertaining.”—Sunday Times.

THE BUBBLE REPUTATION. By Katharine King, Author of “The Queen of the Regiment,” &c. 3 vols.

“Miss King is favourably known as the author of several novels of a more or less military character. ‘The Bubble Reputation’ is quite equal to its predecessors. The plot is ingenious, and the interest sustained to the last.”—Athenæum.

HATHERCOURT RECTORY. By Mrs. Molesworth (Ennis Graham), Author of “The Cuckoo Clock,” &c. Second Edition. 3 vols.

“We have read ‘Hathercourt Rectory’ with not a little pleasure. The tone of the book is healthy throughout.”—Saturday Review.

LODGE’S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE, CORRECTED BY THE NOBILITY.

THE FORTY-EIGHTH EDITION FOR 1879 IS NOW READY.

Lodge’s Peerage and Baronetage is acknowledged to be the most complete, as well as the most elegant, work of the kind. As an established and authentic authority on all questions respecting the family histories, honours, and connections of the titled aristocracy, no work has ever stood so high. It is published under the especial patronage of Her Majesty, and is annually corrected throughout, from the personal communications of the Nobility. It is the only work of its class in which, the type being kept constantly standing, every correction is made in its proper place to the date of publication, an advantage which gives it supremacy over all its competitors. Independently of its full and authentic information respecting the existing Peers and Baronets of the realm, the most sedulous attention is given in its pages to the collateral branches of the various noble families, and the names of many thousand individuals are introduced, which do not appear in other records of the titled classes. For its authority, correctness, and facility of arrangement, and the beauty of its typography and binding, the work is justly entitled to the place it occupies on the tables of Her Majesty and the Nobility.

“This work is the most perfect and elaborate record of the living and recently deceased members of the Peerage of the Three Kingdoms as it stands at this day. It is a most useful publication. We are happy to bear testimony to the fact that scrupulous accuracy is a distinguishing feature of this book.”—Times.

“Lodge’s Peerage must supersede all other works of the kind, for two reasons: first, it is on a better plan; and secondly, it is better executed. We can safely pronounce it to be the readiest, the most useful, and exactest of modern works on the subject.”—Spectator.

“A work of great value. It is the most faithful record we possess of the aristocracy of the day.”—Post.

“The best existing, and, we believe, the best possible Peerage. It is the standard authority on the subject.”—Standard.
