A Devotee

Chapter 17

"It is a relief to turn from many of the novels that come before us to Miss Ford"s true, penetrating, and sympathetic description of the lives of some of the women of our day."

_Bradford Observer._

"Those who have followed and admired Miss Ford"s active social and political work will be interested in this latest work of hers, and will understand its special characteristics. It only remains to be added that the literary workmanship of the book is excellent."

_Hearth and Home._

"A decidedly clever book."

An Incident in the History of a Nation.

BY EDWARD MCNULTY.

Small 8vo., elegantly bound, 3s. 6d.

_National Observer._

""Ould Paddy" and the "poor dark cratur" are as pathetic figures as any we have met with in recent romance, and would alone stamp their creator as a writer of real force and originality."

_Pall Mall Gazette._

"An extremely well-written satire of the possibilities of blarney and brag."

_Bookman._

"An Irish story of far more than ordinary ability."

_Church Times._

"A sad story, but full of racy Irish wit."

_Yorkshire Post._

"It is a book to circulate everywhere, a book which, by its pathos and its power, its simplicity and its vivid truth, will impress the mind as the logic and the reasoning of the statesman too rarely do."

ORMISDAL.

BY THE EARL OF DUNMORE, F.R.G.S., Author of "The Pamirs."

One vol., cloth, 6s.

_Glasgow Herald._

"In this breezy and entertaining novel Lord Dunmore has given us a very readable and racy story of the life that centres in a Highland shooting, about the end of August."

_St. James"s Gazette._

"The impression left on the mind after laying down "Ormisdal" is that Lord Dunmore is a remarkably lucky man to lead such a pleasant life among such charming people and in such charming places, and that everybody will be delighted to hear from him again, when he has more of the same sort to tell us, whether he wraps it up in a book of personal anecdote or a novel."
