Merriman's Barlasch represents the graver type of French veteran, so Brigadier Gerard represents the dash and braggadocio of the Grande Armee.
WHITE HEATHER. William Black.
This charming love story is one of the most popular of Mr. Black's romances of Highland life and sport.
SIMON DALE. Anthony Hope.
This is Mr. Anthony Hope's only historical novel. It deals with the Court of Charles II., and gives a brilliant picture of that complex age, relieved by a charming love story.
A GENTLEMAN OF FRANCE. Stanley J. Weyman.
This is the first novel by which Mr. Weyman won his great reputation. It is a tale of France during the religious wars of the sixteenth century, and has long ranked as one of the most brilliant historical romances of our day.
THE WAR IN THE AIR. H. G. Wells.
"The War in the Air" is a story of the awful devastation following a conflict between two first-cla.s.s powers with the resources of the air at their command. It is one of the most brilliant and successful of Mr.
Wells's studies in futurity.
RUPERT OF HENTZAU. Anthony Hope.
This is a sequel to the famous "Prisoner of Zenda," already published in the Nelson Library. It tells of the end of the long vendetta between young Rupert of Hentzau and the Englishman, Rudolph Ra.s.sendyll. It is needless to praise a book which, with its predecessor, has been recognized as one of the greatest of modern romances.
SALT OF THE SEA. Morley Roberts.
This is a collection of Mr. Morley Roberts's best sea stories selected from half a dozen of his former volumes. "The Promotion of the Admiral"
and its sequel have been ranked by good critics as among the best modern short stories. Mr. Roberts is scarcely less fine in his eerie tales, as in the wonderful tale of "Billy be-d.a.m.ned."
THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. A. Conan Doyle.
The publishers are happy to be able to add to their Nelson Library the first collection of those stories which have made the name of Sherlock Holmes a household word throughout the world.
THE PALADIN. H. A. Vach.e.l.l.
Mr. Vach.e.l.l's gift of sympathetic understanding has rarely appeared to better advantage than in this story. It is a fascinating study of quixotry and idealism.
THE OSBORNES. E. F. Benson.
In this book Mr. Benson has provided a careful and sympathetic study of a middle-cla.s.s family who rise to affluence. It is full of brilliant humour and wide human sympathy.
THE RETURN OF THE EMIGRANT. Lydia M. Mackay.
This is a story of modern Highland life, full of carefully studied types, and lit with all the glamour of the Western Highlands. It is the most important recent contribution to Scottish fiction.
PRINCESS PRISCILLA'S FORTNIGHT.
By the Author of "Elizabeth and her German Garden." This tale, famous both as a book and as a play, tells how a young and beautiful German princess, growing weary of Court restrictions, flies from her home, and with her maid seeks refuge in an English village. Her royal generosity soon leads her into financial straits, and she is rescued and restored to her family by her lover. The humour and piquancy of the situations are not less great than the charm of the heroine.
LADY GOOD-FOR-NOTHING. "Q" (Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch).
Sir Oliver Vyell, the British Collector of Customs at Boston, rescues a poor girl from the stocks, educates her, and makes her mistress of his household. The scene moves to Lisbon, and there is a wonderful picture of the earthquake.
HETTY WESLEY. "Q."
This love story of one of the members of the Wesley family is perhaps "Q's" most brilliant novel, as distinct from those romances with which his name is chiefly a.s.sociated.
HURRISH. Hon. Emily Lawless.
This is a tale of peasant life in Ireland which has few rivals in Irish literature. It is done with the dignity and restraint of a Greek tragedy.
JEMMY ABERCRAW. Bernard Capes.
In this brilliant romance the chief figure is a highwayman who conducts his profession in a spirit of light-hearted chivalry. The last of the Jacobite plots in England is introduced into the narrative.
RULES OF THE GAME. Stewart Edward White.
Mr. S. E. White is one of the best of those younger American novelists who deal with man in his conflicts with nature. This is a story of the Californian Sierras and the great duel between the financial trusts and the Government for the preservation of the forests. Like all Mr. White's books it is full of swift incident and the magic of the wilds.
WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC. Sir Gilbert Parker.
In this charming story Sir Gilbert Parker tells of the fortunes of a young adventurer in Canada in the early nineteenth century who claimed to be the son of the great Napoleon. The mystery of his life and his tragic death make up one of the most original and moving of recent romances. The author does for Quebec what in other works he has done for the Western and Northern wilds--he interprets to the world its essential romance.
THE GENTLEMAN FROM INDIANA. Booth Tarkington.
In this book the author of "Monsieur Beaucaire" tells a story of his own country. "The Gentleman from Indiana" is a tale of a young university graduate who becomes a newspaper owner and editor in a Western town, and wages war against "graft" and corruption. His crusade brings him into relations with the girl who had captured his heart at college, and their love story is subtly interwoven with his political campaign. It is one of the best of modern American novels, and readers will delight not only in the stirring drama of the plot, but in the fresh and sympathetic pictures given of the young towns.h.i.+ps of the West.
THE INVIOLABLE SANCTUARY. George A. Birmingham.
Mr. Birmingham's novel takes us to the west of Ireland. The heroine is a young lady of fifteen, who, with the help of a boy cousin, discovers a mystery in the bay, and lands the whole parish in a bog of intrigue. It is in every way as amusing and delightful as "Spanish Gold" and "The Simpkins Plot."
