WORKS BY JOSEPH CONRAD

I.

AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS

_Crown 8vo_, _cloth_, =6s.=

"Subject to the qualifications thus disposed of (_vide_
first part of notice), 'An Outcast of the Islands' is
perhaps the finest piece of fiction that has been published
this year, as 'Almayer's Folly' was one of the finest that
was published in 1895 ... Surely this is real romance--the
romance that is real. Space forbids anything but the merest
recapitulation of the other living realities of Mr. Conrad's
invention--of Lingard, of the inimitable Almayer, the
one-eyed Babalatchi, the Naturalist, of the pious
Abdulla--all novel, all authentic. Enough has been written
to show Mr. Conrad's quality. He imagines his scenes and
their sequence like a master; he knows his individualities
and their hearts; he has a new and wonderful field in this
East Indian Novel of his.... Greatness is deliberately
written; the present writer has read and re-read his two
books, and after putting this review aside for some days to
consider the discretion of it, the word still
stands."--_Saturday Review._

* * * * *

II.

ALMAYER'S FOLLY

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

="This startling, unique, splendid book."= Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR, M.P.

"This is a decidedly powerful story of an uncommon type, and
breaks fresh ground in fiction.... All the leading
characters in the book--Almayer, his wife, his daughter, and
Dain, the daughter's native lover--are well drawn, and the
parting between father and daughter has a pathetic
naturalness about it, unspoiled by straining after effect.
There are, too, some admirably graphic passages in the book.
The approach of a monsoon is most effectively described....
The name of Mr. Joseph Conrad is new to us, but it appears
to us as if he might become the Kipling of the Malay
Archipelago."--_Spectator._

* * * * *

THE EBBING OF THE TIDE

BY

LOUIS BECKE

Author of "By Reef and Palm"

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

"Mr. Louis Becke wields a powerful pen, with the additional
advantage that he waves it in unfrequented places, and
summons up with it the elemental passions of human
nature.... It will be seen that Mr. Becke is somewhat of the
fleshly school, but with a pathos and power not given to the
ordinary professors of that school.... Altogether for those
who like stirring stories cast in strange scenes, this is a
book to be read."--_National Observer._

* * * * *

PACIFIC TALES

BY

LOUIS BECKE

With a Portrait of the Author

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

"The appearance of a new book by Mr. Becke has become an
event of note--and very justly. No living author, if we
except Mr. Kipling, has so amazing a command of that
unhackneyed vitality of phrase that most people call by the
name of realism. Whether it is scenery or character or
incident that he wishes to depict, the touch is ever so
dramatic and vivid that the reader is conscious of a picture
and impression that has no parallel save in the records of
actual sight and memory."--_Westminster Gazette._

"Another series of sketches of island life in the South
Seas, not inferior to those contained in 'By Reef and
Palm.'"--_Speaker._

"The book is well worth reading. The author knows what he is
talking about and has a keen eye for the picturesque."--G.
B. BURGIN in _To-day_.

"A notable contribution to the romance of the South Seas."
T. P. O'CONNOR, M.P., in _The Graphic_.

CLARA HOPGOOD

BY

MARK RUTHERFORD

_EDITED_ BY

REUBEN SHAPCOTT

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

(_The Third and Cheaper Edition is now ready, Crown 8vo, cloth_, =3s. 6d.=)

"The writer who goes by the name of Mark Rutherford is not
the most popular novelist of his time by any means. There
are writers with names which that recluse genius has never
heard of, probably, whose stories give palpitations to
thousands of gentle souls, while his own are quietly read by
no more than as many hundreds. Yet his publisher never
announces a new story by the Author of 'Mark Rutherford's
Autobiography,' and 'The Revolution in Tanner's
Lane,'--which we believe to be one of the most remarkable
bits of writing that these times can boast of--without
strongly exciting the interest of many who know books as
precious stones are known in Hatton Garden.... 'Clara
Hopgood' is entirely out of the way of all existing schools
of novel-writing.... Had we to select a good illustration of
'Mark's way' as distinguished from the way of modern
storytellers in general, we should point to the chapter in
which Baruch visits his son Benjamin in this narration.
Nothing could be more simple, nothing more perfect."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._

A FIRST FLEET FAMILY: BEING A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NARRATIVE OF CERTAIN REMARKABLE ADVENTURES COMPILED FROM THE PAPERS OF SERGEANT WILLIAM DEW, OF THE MARINES

BY

LOUIS BECKE and WALTER JEFFERY

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

"As convincingly real and vivid as a narrative can
be."--_Sketch._

"No maker of plots could work out a better story of its
