THE GOD IN THE CAR. Ninth Edition.

A CHANGE OF AIR. Sixth Edition.

'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters are traced with a masterly hand.'--Times.

'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'--National Observer.

THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. Fourth Edition.

'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the blood.'--St. James's Gazette.
