A NOVEL WITH TWO HEROES.

BY ELLIOTT GRAEME,

AUTHOR OF "BEETHOVEN; A MEMOIR," &C.

_In Two Vols. Post 8vo._

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"We can sincerely congratulate Mr. Graeme on having achieved a decided literary success.... The story is written in a lively and agreeable style ... the simple life of the worthy Director is charmingly told.... Several of the portraits are evidently taken from life.... The interest of the story centres in Mala, the beautiful girl, who inherits her father's genius.... The characters of Mr. Chesney, the stately and somewhat pompous rector, and of his anti-type, a parson of quite another school, are drawn with singular truthfulness and freedom from exaggeration."--_Athenaeum._

"Above the average even of good novels ... clever and amusing ... free from sensationalism, though full of interest, and of interest which touches many of the deeper chords of life. Mr. Graeme's delineation of character is remarkably good.... After all, the English rector is the gem of the book; the crust of his character so hard, but the ring of the metal itself, though harsh, so true.... Mr. Graeme's canvas is so crowded, that it is really difficult to select figures for illustration. When we have given the notice their prominence demands to some of the leading characters, we find our heartiest admiration and our keenest dislike really reserved for the subordinate actors, who yet are very real in the byplay on which so much of the story turns, as it would turn in actual life."--_Spectator._

"In 'A Novel with Two Heroes,' Mr. Graeme has produced a story of deep interest, and something more,--he has given us a love-story, or rather, two or three love-stories, without the least frivolity of the kind that most of the novel-writers of the day seem to think is the necessary accompaniment of love-making. He has shown intimate knowledge of the springs of human nature, and a power of description which is not the less admirable that it is quiet and unpretentious. There are some domestic scenes which, for their simplicity and their obvious reproduction from real life, have not often been excelled; while, again, there are dramatic scenes powerful almost to painfulness in their intensity, without being in the least disfigured by big or strong words. Womanly beauty and natural scenery Mr. Graeme touches with a light hand, contriving to tell more about them in a few words or lines than most people could do in as many pages.... Sir Robert Chesney is a good, plucky English lad, without a serious flaw in him, but not fond of learning, though full of humour. His experiences with his uncle are delightful.... It would be easy to go through the novel and pick out passages of high excellence.... Abundant merit of a high order is shown throughout, alike in construction, plot, and treatment."--_Scotsman._

"We can only point out some of the beauties of this fresh and interesting production.... One of its great charms is its singular purity.... In drawing his characters Mr. Graeme brings out strongly, yet without the least effort, the pathetic side of most lives; and he brightens them up at the same time with many a touch of genuine humour.... Mr. Graeme is no surface painter.... 'A Novel with Two Heroes' may safely be recommended to all who can appreciate delicacy of sentiment, combined with clever portraiture and thorough knowledge of life."--_Morning Post._

"One of the most promising works of fiction which it has been our lot to encounter of late years. Not for a long time have we read a more pleasant and enjoyable story, full of poetry and life and music, rich in subtle delineation of character, vigorous word-painting, and graphic portraitures, all steeped in that delightful dreaminess and mystic beauty with which German tales are so often and so richly flavoured.... We have been led to dwell at length on the defects of Mr. Graeme's work because it is one of those productions which can stand, and, we shall add, deserve severe criticism. Were the faults a hundred times more numerous and grave than we have indicated, the novel would still be a remarkable production. The pictures of German life--the St. Cecilian festival, the _Fastnacht_, or annual Saturnalia at Lent, the Procession of St. Agnes, the sails on the river, &c., &c., are all painted with a fidelity and power not often met with but in Scott. Even more remarkable are the humour and pathos, as well as the variety and originality of the portraitures. Every character is full of life and individuality."--_Glasgow Herald._

"This work has sterling merits."--_Saturday Review._

"Better worth reading than five out of six of the novels of the day."--_Examiner._

"Will be heartily welcomed by all lovers of a good story."--_Graphic._

"Uncommon scenes and characters uncommonly well described."--_Illustrated London News._

"Mr. Graeme has an eye for colours. He seizes upon the telling points of a story, and paints in the picturesque details of a passing scene."--_Westminster Review._

"Very lifelike; displays depth and originality of thought."--_John Bull._

"Superior in all respects to the common run of novels."--_Daily News._

"A novel with some delightfully fresh characters; ... not a page but is attractive."--_Daily Telegraph._

"This eminently readable novel ... displays an acquaintance with human nature, and a power of description of the happiest kind."--_Leeds Mercury._
