Asa writer of fiction Mrs. Oliphant has few equals, and to show what is thought of her works by the leading English newspapers, we extract a few opinions on some of her previous novels : — "THE GREATEST HEIRESS IX ENGLAND." " Almost every personage in the book is delineated with as muili dramatic power and humour as finish. The talo is t»s veritable * chapter of the 'human comply' as any that Balzac ever wrote, and it is pcrv.-.i'' l by a realism scarcely lees powerful, though ti».: .• more refined."—Scotsman. "Few other novelists write so much: not half of them write half so well. Mrs. Oliphmt's distinction as a novelist is something like that which .Mr. Matthew Arnold claims for Wordsworth as a poet; it rests on the great bedy of good work which ehe has produced, Her storied aro generally well conceived and ably worked out, with very f=w signs of hurry or carelessness; among her characters there is usually some original figure whr> takes a firm hold on the reader's memory; nobody c.<n say that her books are dull.and nob dy could trace in them anything but an eleva'ing tendency or lind a single line written in bad taste."— Athcmtnim. '•Which of Mrs. OJiphant's qualities are most remarkable 'I Her rapidity of production, and. considering that rapidity, the average excellence of her wcrk, ar- scarcely more surprising thin the fertility of h*r mind in constructing stories and varying character."—Daily News. " Wo find in it a nature and insight, a freshness and I hnmour, which prove her to be ;n 'he v.;in. Slio has hit ' n a congenial subject."—Saturday f'eviow. "It is curious tn observo how far i-uperinr Mr?. Oliphant is to most lady novelists in her analysis of male character, in mi: ny respects to Georse Eliot ht-rstlf. Her men. in fact, are thoroughly real, not impossible enthmiasis like Daniel Ueronda, nor poetic youths with fair hair like Ladislaw ; but such men a? we come across daily, moving, speaking, and thinking naturally aud without any assumption of excessive virtue on t.ho one hand, nor descent to the depth of selfishness or vice on the o'her."— Kxainiuer. '•All healthy constituted minds, as children and savages prove, delight in stories of what has happened to people resembling themselves; and it is this recreation that ilrs. Oliphant provides in its least elaborate form . . . The kindly spirit in which ehe writes is a great element in the pleasantness ether books."—Pall Mall Gazette. "Mrs. Olipbant'a newest novel attests her ine.t--hr-ÜBt'ble versatility in plot-weaving, if it does not rival ' Young Musgrave' and some of her later works in ausl&inoci and romantic interest."— Ar-idemy. "lIARRY JOSCELYN." '' Mrs. Oliphant has great versatility ct imagination and a hnppy power of drawing on her memory for details, iu painting both pecple and places after nature. In 'Harry Joscelyn* .she makes judicious use .f sharp and telling contrasts. Nothing can be better than her pictures of the bleak Cumberland fells and their rough iiibabi ants, except her clever sketches of Anglo-Italian life in Leghorn."—Times. "Of character-painting, aud that of an admirable kind, there is * great deal. More than in any of the works that Mrs. Oliphant has produced in such amazing fertility siuce she took to writing in a hurry, we seo the hand of the authoress of 'The Chru-icles of Carlingford,' and recognise the farreaching eye which .sees much where nobody else would see anything at all."—Graphic. " Her namo on the titlo-paee is a guarantee that the book vill bo free from faults of stylo, plot, and composition to which inferior authors are liable." — Spectator. " Mrs. Oiiphant's readers know what is in store for them when they open her volumes, and 'Harry Jos--celyn' will not disappoint them."—.Saturday Review. "TIIE CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD." " Wi/ uiu.it pronounce these Carliugford series tho best contributions to fiction of recent years. Lively, preguant, and rich in imagination, feeling, and eloquence, they will irresistibly carry to the enJ every reader who ventures ui on them."— Spectator. "Thi-- htory (•S-tlem ''impel'). so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stauds out from amonpst its fellows like, a i iec-r of newly-coined cold in a hand* Hi. (if <!im cjn.ur.oni lace T/iles of pastoral experience and scenes from clerical life we have h id in p'i'nty ; but the sacred things of the conrciKiclo, th<* nKr.he position of pastor and 11.-ck in a NYnionforming Ci unection wvio bir. gues.-ed at by the world nutr-ide, and terrible is the revelation."-—Westminster Review. Tho publication of "Sir Tom'' will shortly be commenced in this paper.
