Mr. F. B. Jevons' 'Introduction to the History of Religion' treats of early religion, from the point of view of Anthropology and Folk-lore; and is the first attempt that has been made in any language to weave together the results of recent investigations into such topics as Sympathetic Magic, Taboo, Totemism, Fetishism, etc., so as to present a systematic account of the growth of primitive religion and the development of early religious institutions.
'Dr. Jevons has written a notable work, and we can strongly recommend it to the serious attention of theologians, anthropologists, and classical scholars.'--_Manchester Guardian._
'The merit of this book lies in the penetration, the singular acuteness and force of the author's judgment. He is at once critical and luminous, at once just and suggestive. It is but rarely that one meets with a book so comprehensive and so thorough as this, and it is more than an ordinary pleasure for the reviewer to welcome and recommend it. Dr. Jevons is something more than an historian of primitive belief--he is a philosophic thinker, who sees his subject clearly and sees it whole, whose mastery of detail is no less complete than his view of the broader aspects and issues of his subject is convincing.'--_Birmingham Post._

'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is, despite some trifling incongruities, a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin Review._
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. _Thirty-sixth Edition._
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'--W. T. STEAD in the _Review of Reviews._
Anthony Hope's Novels
_Crown 8vo._ _6s. each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Seventh Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure.'--_The World._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Fourth Edition._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times._

THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Third Edition._

S. Baring Gould's Novels
_Crown 8vo._ _6s. each._
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker._
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people, are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull, and under such conditions it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence both in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'--_Court Circular._

'There is a kind of flavour about this book which alone elevates it above the ordinary novel. The story itself has a grandeur in harmony with the wild and rugged scenery which is its setting.'--_Athenaeum._

THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE.
'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a dull person indeed.'--_Daily Chronicle._
THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. _Fifth Edition._
'Everybody with a soul for romance will thoroughly enjoy "The Trail of the Sword."'--_St. James's Gazette._

t thing he has done; one of the best things that any one has done lately.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every serious novel that he attempts.... In "The Seats of the Mighty" he shows the matured power which his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a really fine historical novel.... Most sincerely is Mr. Parker to be congratulated on the finest novel he has yet written.'--_Athenaeum._
'Mr. Parker's latest book places him in the front rank of living novelists. "The Seats of the Mighty" is a great book.'--_Black and White._

'A great book. The author's method is amazingly effective, and produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the mark it is certain to make.'--_World._
#Arthur Morrison.# A CHILD OF THE JAGO. By ARTHUR MORRISON. _Third Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ _6s._
