LONGMANS, GREEN, & CO.'S MONTHLY LIST.

JUST READY

GLENANAAR: a Novel of Irish Life.

By the Very Rev. P. A. SHEEHAN, of Doneraile, Author of "My New Curate,” 'Luke Delmege," etc. Crown 8vo. $1.50.

"Although introduced by a priest, the genial pastor of Glenanaar, from which place the story takes its name, the plot is that of a romance with an historical setting in which the great Liberator, O'Connell, and other well-known personages of the same period figure. It is a beautiful story, full of the pathos and wit which, like mist and sunshine, so aptly combine to produce the rainbow glories of the Irish character."-AMERICAN ECCLESIASTICAL REVIEW.

DORSET DEAR: Idylls of Country Life.

$1.50.

By M. E. FRANCIS [Mrs. FRANCIS BLUNDELL]. Crown 8vo. "Hundreds of admiring readers acknowledge the grace and charm of Mrs. BLUNDELL'S tales, and welcome any new book from her pen with keen pleasure... The materials are so slight, the incidents so ordinary, and yet the finished sketches are so delightful in their strong and kindly human interest, warm with the glow of sympathetic understanding, and bright with gleams of gentle humour.... Each one seems as if it must be the best until the next is read."-LONDON ACADEMY.

"... They are true 'Idylls of Country Life,' being full of genuine rustic sentiment and humor and disclosing throughout that instinct for simple human truth which has been so valuable to this author on so many occasions. Her country people are characters, sympathetically interpreted and drawn with an accomplished touch. 'Dorset Dear' is a sweet, honest book, a production rich in thought and feeling."-NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

"A further collection of Mrs. BLUNDELL's striking sketches and stories of the people and the life of Dorsetshire. Thomas Hardy himself has not excelled some of Mrs. BLUNDELL's work in verisimilitude and dramatic picturesqueness."-TRANSCRIPT, Boston.

"It is a delightful volume of short stories, ... Charming pictures of country people, with touches of sentiment and humour, set before the reader in good English and with good taste. . ."-NEW YORK SUN.

A NEW HUNTING NOVEL

MISS BADSWORTH, M.F.H.

By EYRE HUSSEY. With Frontispiece [Miss “Lavvy"] by H. PIFFARD, and 6 Illustrations by G. D. ARMOUR. Crown 8vo. $1.50.

"Miss Badsworth is indeed a most amiable person, but her niece, Miss Lavinia Badsworth, is one of the sweetest heroines whose acquaintance the impressionable Baron has ever had the opportunity of making; and if she be a portrait, then is Mr. EYRE HUSSEY to be greatly envied his knowledge of the original. Here is a perfectly pure, country-scented, fresh-air story, simple as it can be made, and, granting the eccentricity of one character, perfectly natural; yet so cleverly managed that you are interested in it from start to finish."-THE BARON DE BOOK WORMS IN PUNCH.

"If there breathes the man with soul so dead that the sight of a pack of dappled hounds with waving tails, of well-groomed horses and pink-coated riders, rouses no answering thrill within his breast. let him avoid Mr. EYRE HUSSEY's new novel, for it is a hunting novel pure and simple; hounds and horses, kennels, stables, and runs across country are its theme."-DAILY GRAPHIC.

"A lifelike hunting story is among the very good things that modern fiction has to give us. Here, in Mr. EYRE HUSSEY's animated and persuasive pages, is the true atmosphere of kennel, covert, and field. He shows good sport to the end of the chapter, and presents us with the piquant novelty of a bewitching little lady huntsman' as game as can be. 'Miss Badsworth, M.F.H.,' is a very model of its kind. It is as good a hunting story as we have ever read, and the most original."-DAILY CHRONICLE. "It is clever and entertaining, and all, but possibly some advanced numbers of the sex against whom its shafts are lightly aimed, will find it full of humor ."-THE GLOBE, N. Y.

"... The pictures which Mr. HUSSEY gives of the sport are as realistic as those from a living-picture machine, and as enticing, too. When one has finished the book he will think that fox-hunting, with its bit of danger to spice it, is about as good a sport as the world can afford. That is, unless his blood runs cold and sluggish. Then this book is not for him. The dialogue is unforced, good everyday talk, with no pretense at smartness, and the character drawing, particularly some of the 'bits' like Joe Summers, the master of the kennels, and Lady Flora, is capital."-LEADER, Cleveland.

Her adventures and

"EYRE HUSSEY has struck a clever idea in 'Miss Badsworth, M.F.H.' experiences go to make a most charming and amusing story."-ARGONAUT, San Francisco.

HAY FEVER.

Crown 8vo. $1.25.

By WALTER HERRIES POLLOCK and GUY C. POLLOCK. *This story is concerned with the adventures of a much and justly respected stockbroker, and is founded on the known action of a drug sometimes perscribed for hay fever; but, naturally, the authors have aimed more at amusement than at scientific accuracy.

"His adventures carry one on from peal to peal of laughter. Certainly it is an excellent farce, and no one who is in sympathy with fun should miss it."-LONDON ACADEMY.
