Three Men in a Boat.

(TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG.)

By JEROME K. JEROME,

Author of "Idle thoughts of an idle Fellow," "Stageland," etc.

ILLUSTRATIONS BY A. FREDERICS.

"It would be dangerous to read this book in any place—say a full railway compartment—where the reader was not at perfect liberty to laugh as loudly and as long as he choose."—Glasgow Herald.

"It is impossible to read any single chapter in the book without indulging in the heartiest laughter, so quaint are the turns of thought and the manner of expression. . . . Mr. Jerome has been lucky to secure the help of Mr. A. Frederics as illustrator of his thrice delightful volume, and it is embellished with the most artistic illustrations, which add considerably charm of reading."—Whitehall Review.

"His book is one to buy, read, and laugh at quand meme."—Land and Water.

The End of a Life.

By EDEN PHILLPOTTS.

"This is a work of great interest and power. Readers who like a powerfully-written tale will find their wishes realised in The End of a Life."—Preston Herald.

"Lovers of sensational fiction will find this book sufficiently exciting for the most jaded palate."—The Gentlewoman.

"The plot is original, the characters are distinctly pictured and ably grouped, the dialogue is excellent, and there are not a few striking sayings. The End of a Life is well written, well considered, and well planned. The two sisters, Mary and Rose, are delightful studies of pure and truthful womanhood."—The Athenæum.
