SELF AND SELF-SACRIFICE

"A very beautiful story, with characters well drawn, scenery vividly described, and interest admir bly sustained. The tendency of the volume is not only unexceptionable, but excellent in a Christian point of view. We have seldom seen a book in which the best and highest aim is so manifest without the attractiveness of the tale being at all lessened by the embodiment of religious principles."-Eclectic Review.

"The story is so delightful, and the whole spirit of the book so pure, that it compels our admiration."-Daily News.

"Since Currer Bell' we have read nothing more genuine, nor more touching. 'Nelly's Story' has power to carry the reader right through with it, and can hardly fail to impress a moral of inestimable importance."-Carlisle Journal.

"Admirably written, pervaded throughout by fine, correct, and wholesome sentiments."-Morning Post.

"Its excellent moral tone, and keen observation, are sure to render the book widely popular."-John Bull.

"Nelly's Story' is a good one. It is one of the best we have read for a long time." Bucks Advertiser.

"Abounding in interest. We can hardly conceive a more suitable gift-book."— Lady's Newspaper.

"Will be welcomed, read, and talked about."-Gentleman's Magazine.

"Nelly's Story' is told in such a good and pleasant way, and withal is so useful and world-like, that we trust it may bring to its authoress the fame that she is well able to support."-Tait's Magazine.

We recognize and proclaim in the authoress of this thrilling tale a quality beyond mere ability-genius of a very high order. We claim for Anna Lisle a place amongst the most distinguished writers of her age. The story is a brilliant effort of refined and sanctified imagination throughout, quite as fascinating as anything in the way of story, whether told by Scott, Stowe, Dickens, or Currer Bell."-Sentinel.

In One Volume, large crown 8vo, Illustrated, price 5s.

QUICKSANDS

A TALE.

BY ANNA LISLE.

"It is a thoroughly woman's book. We can fairly say that we have seldom met with a graver or more striking warning against the consequences of over eagerness about worldly position and advantages, more forcibly and, at the same time, gracefully conveyed."-Literary Gazette.

"Contains a great deal of quiet and powerful writing. Marty, the maid of Mrs. Grey, might pass for a creation of Dickens. The moral of Quicksands' is at once com. prehensive and striking."- Weekly Mail.
