"GOOD-BYE, SWEETHEART!" By RHODA BROUGHTON, author of "Cometh up as a Flower". 2 vol. "Good-bye, Sweetheart!" is certainly one of the brightest and most entertaining novels that has appeared for many years. The heroine of the story, Lenore, is really an original character, drawn only as a woman could draw her who had looked deeply into the mysterious recesses of the feminine heart. She is a creation totally beyond the scope of a man's pen, unless it were the pen. of Shakespeare. Her beauty, her wilfulness, her caprice, her love, and her sorrow are depicted with marvellous skill, and invested with an interest of which the reader never becomes weary. Miss Broughton, in this work, has made an immense advance on her other stories, clever as those are. Her sketches of scenery and of interiors, though brief, are eminently graphic, and the dialogue is always sparkling and witty. The incidents, though sometimes startling and unexpected, are very natural, and the characters and story, from the beginning to the end, strongly enchain the attention of the reader. The work has been warmly commended by the press during its publication, as a serial, and in its book form bids fair to be decidedly the novel of the season. A LEAF IN THE STORM AND OTHER STORIES. By"OUIDA”.1vol. ROBERT AINSLEIGH. By Miss E. BRADDON. 3 vol. "The novel is a powerful one... it is a story of adventure, of suffering, of conquest; and as such do we commend it to the public.

BLACKMORE. 2 vol. LORNA DOONE. By R. D. BLACKMORE. 2 vol. "The reader at times holds bis breath, so graphically yet so simply does John 'Ridd tell his tale . . 'Lorna Doone' is a work of real excellence, and as such we heartily commend it to the public." Saturday Review. THE HARVEYS. By HENRY KINGSLEY. 1 vol. COUNTRY STORIES, OLD AND NEW. In Prose and Verse. By HOLME LEE, author of "The beautiful Miss Barrington" etc. 2 vol. HOW IT ALL HAPPENED, AND OTHER STORIES. By Mrs. PARR, author of "Dorothy Fox". 2 vol. "The author of 'Dorothy Fox has solved the problem of being domestic without being tame. This is partly the result of her undoubted power of description and her insight into character, and partly of the kind of life which she describes life mostly of the quiet rustic sort lurking in old country towns and old seaside villages which have not yet been crushed into uniformity by the march of 'progress'. Itis a pleasant rest to the novel-reader after wading through dreary volumes recording the trivial lives of the worshippers of conventionality, or the conceptions of 'aristocratic' life, formed by some vulgar panderer to the bad taste of the middle classes, to turn to such an old-world village as Ursley or Chad's End, and hear the simple annals of its quaint inhabitants."
