Part 14 (2/2)

_Globe._--'Miss Macnaughtan at her best. All her characters are charming. Her books are a sovereign remedy for depression and misanthropy.

_Daily Telegraph._--'One of the most engaging stories that we have read for a goodly while--a story full of lively wit and mellow wisdom.

Delightful is indeed the word which best sums up the whole book.'

In Brief Authority.

By F. Anstey,

Author of 'Vice Versa,' 'The Bra.s.s Bottle,' &c.

_Punch._--'In these days a fairy fantasy by Mr. F. Anstey comes like a breath from the old happiness ... compelling our laughter with that delightful jumble of magic and modernity of which he owns the secret.

”In Brief Authority” shows what I may call the Anstey formula as potent as ever. It is all excellent fooling.'

_Athenaeum._--'At any time this book would be welcome; it is doubly so to-day when a ”short breathing-s.p.a.ce from the battle” is a recurring necessity.'

'K.'

By Mary Roberts Rinehart,

Author of 'The After House,' 'The Street of Seven Stars,' &c.

_Sunday Times._--'A book of whose unfailing charm, firmness of handling, and pervading atmosphere of understanding and sympathy, almost any living writer might be proud.'

_Morning Post._--'One of those books that have all the elements of a sudden and overwhelming popularity. Let us recommend it with what authority we can.'

For this I had borne Him.

By G. F. Bradby,

Author of 'd.i.c.k: a Story without a Plot,' 'When every Tree was Green,'

'The Lanchester Tradition,' &c.

_Punch._--'In my opinion the present d.i.c.k is not only entirely worthy of the earlier, but marks by far the highest level that Mr. Bradby has yet reached. It is not too much to think that this little book will live long as a witness to the spirit of England in her dark hour.'
