Certainly, if it were not for its predecessor, we should assign to "Trilby" a place in fiction absolutely companion- less. ... It is one of the most unconventional and charm- ing of novels. — Saturday Review, London.

It is a charming story told with exquisite grace and ten- derness. — N. Y. Tribune.

Mr. Du Maurier has written his tale with such original- ity, unconventionality, and eloquence, such rollicking humor and tender pathos, and delightful play of every lively fancy, all running so briskly in exquisite English and with such vivid dramatic picturing, that it is only comparable ... to the freshness and beauty of a spring morning at the end of a dragging winter. ... It is a thoroughly unique story. — N. Y. Sun.

Peter Ibbetson. With an Introduction by his Cousin, Lady ***** ("Madge Plunket"). Edited and Illustrated by George du Maurier. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.

That it is one of the most remarkable books that have appeared for a long time is, however, iudisputable. — N. Y. Tribune.

There are no suggestions of mediocrity. The pathos is true, the irony delicate, the satire severe when its subject is unworthy, the comedy sparkling, and the tragedy, as we have said, inevitable. One or two more such books, and the fame of the artist would be dim beside that of the novelist. — N. Y. Evening Post.
