“Tt is a delightful picture of life at an English estate, which is presided over by a young
* Squire’ and his young sister. Their experiences are cleverly told, and the complications
which arise are amusing and interesting. There are many humorous touches, too, which
add no slight strength to the story.”—Boston TimEs.

‘A charming little social comedy, permeated with a refinement of spontaneous humor
and brilliant with touches of shrewd and searching satire.”—BosToNn BEACON.

“The story is bright, amusing, full of interest and incident, and the characters are ad-
mirably drawn. Every reader will recognize a friend or acquaintance in some of the people
here portrayed. Every one will wish he could have been a guest at Duckhill Manor, and
will hope that the author has more stories to tell.”—Pus.ic Opinion.

‘A natural, amusing, kindly tale, told with great skill. The characters are delightfully
human, the individuality well caught and preserved, the quaint humor lightens every page,
and a simple delicacy and tenderness complete an excellent specimen of story telling.”

BEGGARS ALL.

A NOVEL.
By MISS L. DOUGALL.
Sixth Edition. 12mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.00.

‘This is one of the strongest as well as most original romances of the year. . . . The
plotis extraordinary. . . . The close of the story is powerful and natural, . . . A
masterpiece of restrained and legitimate dramatic fiction.”—LirERARY WoRLD.

‘“‘To say that ‘Beggars All’ is a remarkable novel is to put the case mildly indeed, for
it is one of the most original, discerning, and thoroughly philosophical presentations of
‘character that has appeared in English for manya day... . Emphatically a novel
that thoughtful people ought to read . . . the perusal of it will by many be reckoned
among the intellectual experiences that are not easily forgotten.’—BosTON BEACON,

“A story of thrilling interest.”—Home JourNAL.

“(A very unusual quality of novel. It is written with ability; it tells a strong story with
elaborate analysis of character and motive . . . it is of decided interest and worth
reading.” —CoMMERCIAL ADvertismr, N. Y.

“Iris more than a story for mere summer reading, but deserves a permanent place
among the best works of modern fiction. The author has struck a vein of originality purely
herown. . . . Itis tragic, pathetic, humerous by turns. . . . Miss Dougall has, in
fact, scored a great success. Her book is artistic, realistic, intensely dramatic—in fact, one
of the novels of the year.”—BosTon TRAVELLER.

. , “ ‘Beggars All’ is a noble work of art, but is also something more and something better.
itis a book with a soul in it, and in a sense, therefore, it may be described as an inspired
work, The inspiration of genius may or may not be lacking to it, but the inspiration of a
pure and beautiful spirituality pervades it completely . . . the characters are truth-
fully and powerfully drawn, the situations finely imagined, and the story profoundly
interesting.”—CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
