NOW COMMENCED IN THE 2J-e;aland A NEW NOVEL, ENTITLED THE TREASURE OF THORBURNS, BX JpEEDERICK Author of “A Good Hater,” “On the Border Land,” &c. j Contributor to Blackwood, Temple Bar, Gentleman’s Magazine, ahd War Correspondent; TjOYLE,

Wfi have much pleasure in announcing that a NEW and EXCELLENT STORY has been commenced in the columns of the New Zealand Mail by the above gifted and charming writer. By the sterling merit of his work Mr BOYLE has won his way to eminence in varied fields of Literature. As War Correspondent, and traveller in climes on the borderland between civilisation and savagery, he has by personal observation obtained a large and varied knowledge of the world, and his graphic pen has enabled him to place before the public thrilling adventures ntad marvellous experiences in a style that his work immensely popular. But Jj, Boyle’s talents are of a versatile character, and as a writer of Light Literature he has fairly won a good place among the foremost Novelists of the day. In proof of the high estimation In which it is held, we may quote the late Charles Eeade’s opinion of Mr Boyle’s Literary Work. Xu the preface to "A Simpleton,” Mr Reade says:— “ My principal obligation on this head is to Mr Boyle’s admirable letters, reprinted in a delightful volume. Mr Boyle has a painter’s eye and a writer’s pen, and, if the African scenes in ‘ A Simpleton ’ please my readers, I hope they will go to the fountain head, where they will find many more.” The Plot of the new Story is well conceived and admirably worked out. The secret of-the Story, the hidden and much sought Treasure of Thorburns, is well kept to the end. There is plenty of movement in the Story, for while the central scene is laid in an English village, there is the customary touch of life on the borderland of civilisation and savagery, for which Mr Boyle is so famous.' The leading characters inf jhe Storyyire thorpghly interesting parsons,-’'and theif conduc| as delineated with the rtidism of life itself, Tdere 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 commenced will enhance Mr Boyle’s already brilliant reputation, and afford the liveliest satisfaction to our present Readers. —and also to |those whom we hope will subscribe to the Mail, in the columns of which, for years past, the works of the leading novelists of the day have found earliest expression.; PRESS CRITICISMS ON NOVELS AND OTHER WORKS by Mr BOYLE. * This charming volume.’—Court Journal. ‘lt is a very entertaining volume.’—Queen.
