Trites (W. B.)-John Cave.

6s.

DAILY MAIL.-"A strong novel, a powerful story, a most interesting and fascinating book."

OUTLOOK." The book is altogether a remarkable one."

LIVERPOOL POST.-"A strong book, indisputably impressive. Mr. Trites' quick and nervous style will take him far."

IRISH TIMES.-" This is a remarkable novel."

GLOBE." A remarkable work. . . . An absorbing picture.

Such a book as 'John Cave' is not easily forgotten; its author should do great things."

THE GLASGOW NEWS.-"While it may sound extravagant praise to say that John Cave' reads like the work of one of the French masters, it is a judgment which every chapter of this remarkable first novel confirms." Denmark: Past and Present.-By MARGARET THOMAS. Author of "A Scamper thro' Spain and Tangier." 13 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 6s. net.

DAILY CHRONICLE.- "It is otherwise in Denmark, which bursts upon the view of the rare excursionists who venture thither as one of the loveliest bits of rural England-all dale and down, forest and lake, hedgerowfenced cattle-pastures, and deer-frequented, ferny glade. It is passing strange that a man like Baedeker has hitherto neglected such a land, and that its description has been left to Murray and Miss Margaret Thomas, who manages to give us a very nice picture of Danskeland.'

Miniature Road Books

By CHARLES G. HARPER.

THE PALL MALL GAZETTE says: "Mr Harper has won an unassailable position by his ardent study of the lore of the coaching roads in England. He has a quick eye for the essential and the picturesque, and has been at great pains to get up his matter."

Size 32 by 2. With maps and Illustrations. Cloth, Is. 6d. net per vol. Leather 2/6 net per vol.

These volumes, intended for the use of cyclists, motorists and pedestrians along our great historic highways, are condensed editions of the large library volumes. They contain the greater part of the original works, less the coaching history in each, which, it is thought, is of slighter interest to tourists along the road than the history and description of the actual highways and the places along them. Each volume is of convenient size for the waistcoat pocket, and printed in a clear legible type, runs to an average of 350 pages.

A few Press Notices

DAILY GRAPHIC.-Messrs, A. Tre- i herne & Co, have discovered a splendid substitute for the Dumpy' books in a new series entitled, The Matchless Books.' Anything less like books or more like match-boxes than these deceptive little volumes it would be difficult to imagine-which shows how foolish it is to trust to appearances. You will find, it you take it in your hand, that the seeming matchbox is, in reality a dainty little volume with coloured illustrations, and a whole wealth of fairy-lore concealed within its covers. One of them contains a selection from the 'Arabian Nights,' another-and smaller one-turns out to be our old friend, 'A was an Apple Pie,' while yet another is nothing else than 'Robinson Crusoe.' They are to be had in three sizes and at three prices, Is. 6d. net, Is. net, and 9d. net. Among all the novelties of the Christmas publishing season none is calculated to make a stronger bid for popularity than The Matchless Books.""

NOTTINGHAM GUARDIAN.-" A very clever novelty in the way of quaint unusual objects. Children will be delighted to have a book which looks exactly like a box of Bryant and May's matches."

BOOK OPEN. SMALL SIZE.

THE BOOKSELLER.-"They are curious, quaint little books, decided novelties which are sure to be in great demand." DAILY CHRONICLE.

[ocr errors]

"Among a pile of Christmas books
I found a thing which from its looks
should certainly have been

A box of matches-'twas so like ;-
But glancing at the sides to strike,
I saw green leaves between.
With curious fingers I unbound
This simulated box, and found
It was a picture book.
The Story of John Gilpin lay
Revealed. And I am bound to say
It much my fancy took."
CHRISTIAN WORLD.-" The
quaintest little 'freak' books I have ever

come across.

GIRLS OWN PAPER." And I can answer for it that the small boys and girls will love to have one of these surprise match-boxes given them."

BYSTANDER." Delightfully in
