EFFIE HETHERINGTON BY ROBERT BUCHANAN
_Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth,_ 6s.
"Mr. Robert Buchanan has written several novels ... but among those which we know, there is not one so nearly redeemed by its ability and interest.... The girl is simply odious; but Mr. Buchanan is a poet--it would seem sometimes _malgre lui_, in this instance it is _quand meme_--and he dowers the worthless Effie with a rugged, half-misanthropic, steadfast lover, whose love, never rewarded, is proved by as great a sacrifice as fact or fiction has ever known, and who is almost as striking a figure as Heathcliff in "Wuthering Heights.""--_World_.
WORKS BY JOSEPH CONRAD
I.
AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS
_Crown 8vo., cloth_, 6s.
"Subject to the qualifications thus disposed of (_vide_ first part of notice), "An Outcast of the Islands" is perhaps the finest piece of fiction that has been published this year, as "Almayer"s Folly"
was one of the finest that was published in 1895.... Surely this is real romance--the romance that is real. s.p.a.ce forbids anything but the merest recapitulation of the other living realities of Mr.
Conrad"s invention--of Lingard, of the inimitable Almayer, the one-eyed Babalatchi, the Naturalist, of the pious Abdulla--all novel, all authentic. Enough has been written to show Mr. Conrad"s quality. He imagines his scenes and their sequence like a master; he knows his individualities and their hearts; he has a new and wonderful field in this East Indian Novel of his.... Greatness is deliberately written; the present writer has read and re-read his two books, and after putting this review aside for some days to consider the discretion of it, the word still stands."--_Sat.u.r.day Review._
