COPYRIGHT NOVELS

PERCY ANDREAE.

The Vanished Emperor. By the author of "Stanhope of Chester." Crown 8vo, cloth. 6s.

"We can honestly say it is years since we read a story so original, so striking, or so absorbing."—Manchester Courier.

"A most thrilling detective story, to which additional piquancy is given by the fact that the chief personages concerned are the present German Emperor and his Court, introduced under the thinnest disguises."—Athenæum.


GEORGE MEREDITH.

The Tale of Chloe; The House on the Beach; and, The Case of General Ople and Lady Camper. By the author of "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel," etc., Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. Also a cheap edition, cloth, 3s. 6d.

"'The Tale of Chloe' is one of the gems of English fiction.... We question whether, even in Mr. Meredith's rich array of female characters, there is any more loveable than Chloe."—Daily Telegraph.


EDITH JOHNSTONE.

A Sunless Heart. Third edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. Also a cheap edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

Mr. W. T. Stead, in his article on "Women Novelists," writes of "its intrinsic merit, its originality and its pathos, its distinctively woman's outlook on life, and the singular glow and genius of its author.... Lotus is a distinct creation—vivid, life-like, and original."—Review of Reviews.


MRS. LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON.

Lazy Tours. By the author of "Bedtime Stories," "Swallow Flights," etc. Large crown 8vo, 6s.

Mrs. Moulton is everywhere admitted as America's greatest woman poet, and more than one critic who has seen this volume is of the opinion that Mrs. Moulton has written nothing to equal it. "Lazy Tours" is one of the most delightful volumes of Travel Papers which has appeared.


LOUIS F. AUSTIN.

At Random. A Collection of Essays and Stories. With Photogravure Portrait and Special Title-page. Full crown 8vo, art canvas, 5s.

"At Random," when it sees light in the beautiful form in which it is presented, will assuredly be one of the most widely-discussed books of the season. Though Mr. Austin has an almost unique reputation as one of the most brilliant and able of literary writers, he has, strange to say, never yet published a volume, but now he has at last collected some of the best of his contributions to periodicals together.
