BROKEN TROTH:

A TALE OF TUSCAN LIFE, FROM THE ITALIAN,

BY PHILIP IRETON.

Two vols. fcap. 8vo. cloth, 12s.

"The style is so easy and natural. . . . The story is well told from beginning to end."-Press.

"A genuine Italian tale-a true picture of the Tuscan peasant population, with all their virtues, faults, weaknesses, follies, and even vices. . . . The best Italian tale that has been published since the appearance of the 'Promessi Sposi' of Manzoni. . . . The Broken Troth' is one of those that cannot be read but with pleasure."-London Review.

ARTIST AND CRAFTSMAN.

"Its power is unquestionable, its felicity of expression great, its plot fresh, and its characters very natural. . . . Wherever read, it will be enthusiastically admired and cherished."-Morning Herald.

A LADY IN HER OWN RIGHT.

BY WESTLAND MARSTON.

Crown 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

"Since 'The Mill on the Floss was noticed, we have read no work of fiction which we can so heartily recommend to our readers as 'A Lady in her own Right:' the plot, incidents, and characters are all good: the style is simple and graceful; it abounds in thoughts judiciously introduced and well expressed, and throughout a kind, liberal, and gentle spirit."-Church of England Monthly Review.
