PBICE SIXPENCE ON HAY 21st, 1886, WAB OOMKBHCBD " CANTERBURY TIMES " A NEW NOVEL, MIITIED THE TREASURE THORBURNS, FEEDEBICK BOYLE, Anthor ol "A Good Hater," "On the Border ■ English Illustrated," i Correspondent. w e have much pleasure in announcing that a NEW and EXCELLENT BTOBY was commenopd in the columns of the CANTERBURY TIMES on MAY 21,1886, by the above gifted and <marming writer. By the sterling merit of his work MB BOYLE has won his way to eminence in varied •"-Ids of Literature. As War Correspondent, and ■ajeller ixx climes on the borderland where ChrisKand barbarian meet, he has by pe.&onal obserat on obtained a large and varied knowledge of theVworld ; and his graphic pen has enabled him to marvellous experiences in a style that h»s made his work immensely popular. But Mr Boyle's talents are of a versatile character, and as a writer of light literature he i>aß fairly won a good place among the foremost novelists of the doy. held, we may quote the late Charles Beade's (ace to "A Simpleton," Mr B*ade says :—"My principal obligation on this head is to Mr Beyle's admirable letters, reprinted in a delightful volume. Mr Bojle has a painter's eye and a writer's pen, *nd, if the African i-cenes in' A fr impleton' please my readers, I hope they will go to the fountain bend, wbere they will Ado many more." The Plot *>f tbe i ew Story is well conceived and artmirab y worked out. 'I he secret of the Story, the bidden and much sought Treasure of Thorburns, is admirably kept to the end. '' here is plenty of movement in the Story, for while tbe central seei,e is laid in an English village, ibere is the customary touch of life on the borderland'of civilisation and savagery, for which Mr Boyle is so famous The leading characters in the Story are thoroughly interesting persons, and thoir conduot is delineated with the realism of life itself. There is plenty of sensation in it, but withal the Story is throughout a thoroughly good one, readable by the entire Family Circle. We have, indeed, the fullest confidence that the Story now annontced will enhance Mr Boyle's already brilliant reputation, and afford the liveliest satisfaction to the present Eeaders-and also to those whom we expect to become readers- of the .Canterbury Times Fiction.
