JACK DUDLEY'S WIFE.
By E. M. DAVY, Author of "A Prince of Como," &c.
"Mrs. E. M. Davy's powerful and pathetic story, 'Jack Dudley's Wife,'
has been published by Mr. Walter Scott, London, in a s.h.i.+lling volume.
The tale is written with excellent skill, and succeeds in holding the interest well up from first to last."--_Scotsman._
POLICE SERGEANT C. 21: THE STORY OF A CRIME.
By REGINALD BARNETT.
"The latest and most notable addition to the ranks of detective story-tellers is Mr. Reginald Barnett, whose 'Police Sergeant C. 21'
(Walter Scott), although constructed on the familiar Gaborian system, is nevertheless a work of far higher merit than any of its English predecessors. Mr. Barnett has imagination and considerable graphic power. He has conceived a plot of singular complication, which he works out with much skill."--_Table._

THE WORLD OF CANT
"_Daily Telegraph._"--"Decidedly a book with a purpose."
"_Scotsman._"--"A vigorous, clever, and almost ferocious exposure, in the form of a story, of the numerous shams and injustices."
"_Newcastle Weekly Chronicle._"--"Trenchant in sarcasm, warm in commendation of high purpose.... A somewhat _remarkable book_."
"_London Figaro._"--"It cannot be said that the author is partial; clergymen and Nonconformist divines, Liberals and Conservatives, lawyers and tradesmen, all come under his lash.... The sketches are worth reading. Some of the characters are portrayed with considerable skill."
"May the Lord deliver us from all Cant: may the Lord, whatever else He do or forbear, teach us to look facts honestly in the face, and to beware (with a kind of shudder) of smearing them over with our despicable and d.a.m.nable palaver into irrecognisability, and so falsifying the Lord's own Gospels to His unhappy blockheads of Children, all staggering down to Gehenna and the everlasting Swine's-trough, for want of Gospels.
"O Heaven! it is the most accursed sin of man: and done everywhere at present, on the streets and high places at noonday! Verily, seriously I say and pray as my chief orison, May the Lord deliver us from it."--_Letter from Carlyle to Emerson._
London: WALTER SCOTT, 24 Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row.
