“A Wise Woman,” “ As Good as Gold,” “ Under Canvas,” &c.
With 4 full-page Illustrations by Gorpon Browye in black
and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s. 6d.

‘Brothers in Arms” is a story which while it provides exciting incidents
and vivid descriptions, will be of real value to the young reader because of
its containing accurate historical information on the subject of the Crusades
and the doings of Richard the Lion-heart and his army in the Holy Land.
There are few tales which comprise within so brief a compass, such pictur-
esque representations of life in that olden time, and such stirring and well-
told adventures of two lads who took a prominent but not by any means
an impossible part in the wars in Cyprus and Palestine.

“Hetty Gray ” is the story of a girl who, having been found as an infant
by a villager, is brought up by his wife, and is a kind of general pet, till an
accident causes a rich widow to adopt her, and spoil her by bringing her up
in alternate indulgence and neglect. On the death of her adoptive mother
Hetty, who is left unprovided for, is taken by the widow’s relatives to be
educated in the family as a dependant, but with a view to her gaining her
livelihood as a governess, an event which is prevented by a rather remark-
able discovery. The tale is carried on throughout with the simplicity but
genuine effect which distinguishes Miss Mulholland’s writing.

tender, and true—and her varying fortunes are perfectly realistic.” — World.

ing.” —Guardian.
