THE NELSON LIBRARY OF COPYRIGHT FICTION.

Uniform with this Volume and same Price.

THE RETURN OF THE EMIGRANT. Lydia Miller 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. 


THE OSBORNES. E. F. Benson.

In this book Mr. Benson has provided a careful and sympathetic study of a middle-class family who rise to affluence. It is full of brilliant humour and wide human sympathy.


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.
