  THE MANCHESTER EXAMINER.--"Rustic scenes and characters are drawn withfree, broad touches, without Mr. Buchanan's artificiality, and, if wemay venture to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy's countrypictures."

  THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3s. 6d.

  THE SPECTATOR.--"This volume proves beyond all doubt that Mr. Hockinghas mastered the art of the historical romancist.
