=WORK
WHILE
YE
HAVE
THE
LIGHT.=
From
the
Russian
of
Count
LYOF
TOLSTOY.
Liverpool
Mercury.--"Marked
by
all
the
old
power
of
the
great
Russian
novelist."
Manchester
Guardian.--"Readable
and
well
translated;
full
of
high
and
noble
feeling."
=FANTASY.=
From
the
Italian
of
MATILDE
SERAO.
National
Observer.--"The
strongest
work
from
the
hand
of
a
woman
that
has
been
published
for
many
a
day."
Scottish
Leader.--"The
book
is
full
of
a
glowing
and
living
realism....
There
is
nothing
like
'Fantasy'
in
modern
literature....
It
is
a
work
of
elfish
art,
a
mosaic
of
light
and
love,
of
right
and
wrong,
of
human
weakness
and
strength,
and
purity
and
wantonness,
pieced
together
in
deft
and
witching
precision."
=FROTH.=
From
the
Spanish
of
Don
ARMANDO
PALACIO-VALDES.
Daily
Telegraph.--"Vigorous
and
powerful
in
the
highest
degree.
It
abounds
in
forcible
delineation
of
character,
and
describes
scenes
with
rare
and
graphic
strength."
=FOOTSTEPS
OF
FATE.=
From
the
Dutch
of
LOUIS
COUPERUS.
Daily
Chronicle.--"A
powerfully
realistic
story
which
has
been
excellently
translated."
Gentlewoman.--"The
consummate
art
of
the
writer
prevents
this
tragedy
from
sinking
to
melodrama.
Not
a
single
situation
is
forced
or
a
circumstance
exaggerated."
=PEPITA
JIMENEZ.=
From
the
Spanish
of
JUAN
VALERA.
W.
D.
Howells.--"An
exquisite
masterpiece."
New
Review
(Mr.
George
Saintsbury):--"There
is
no
doubt
at
all
that
it
is
one
of
the
best
stories
that
have
appeared
in
any
country
in
Europe
for
the
last
twenty
years."
=THE
COMMODORE'S
DAUGHTERS.=
From
the
Norwegian
of
JONAS
LIE.
Athenaeum.--"Everything
that
Jonas
Lie
writes
is
attractive
and
pleasant;
the
plot
of
deeply
human
interest,
and
the
art
noble."
