Martin Hewitt, Investigator. By the author of "Tales of Mean Streets," etc. With about Fifty Illustrations by Sydney Paget. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s.

"Most people like tales of this sort, ... and no one writes them better than Mr. Morrison does. The narratives are written not only with ingenuity, but with conviction, which is, perhaps, even the more valuable quality."—Globe.


Chronicles of Martin Hewitt. Being the Second Series of "Martin Hewitt, Investigator." With Thirty Illustrations by D. Murray Smith. Crown 8vo, art canvas, 5s.

The remarkable reception given by both press and public to "Martin Hewitt, Investigator," and "Chronicles of Martin Hewitt," is sufficient guarantee that this third series of the adventures of that astute detective will be warmly welcomed.
