  THREE BOOKS BY ANNIE LUCAS.

  =The City and the Castle.= A Story of the Reformation in Switzerland.

  _A tale of a noble family and one in humble life becoming connected by circumstances, the relation of which faithfully portrays the state and character of society at the time of the Reformation (in Switzerland)._

  =Leonie=; or, Light out of Darkness: and =Within Iron Walls=, a Tale of theSiege of Paris. Twin-Stories of the Franco-German War.

  _Two tales, the first connected with the second. One, of country life in France during the war; the other, life within the besieged capital._

  =Wenzel's Inheritance=; or, Faithful unto Death. A Tale of Bohemia in theFifteenth Century.

  _Presents a vivid picture of the religious and social condition of Bohemia in the fifteenth century. The story is one of suffering and martyrdom borne for faith's sake._

  =Alison Walsh.= A Study of To-Day. By CONSTANCE EVELYN.

  _An extremely interesting and suggestive character study. The heroine, losing faith in the Christian religion, passes through great tribulation and anguish of soul. By the persuasion and example of loving friends, and by earnest effort on her own part to follow the precepts of our Lord, she finds at last in His religion that "peace which passeth all understanding._"

  =Arthur Erskine's Story.= A Tale of the Days of Knox. By the Author of"The Spanish Brothers," etc.

  "_Another tale by that accomplished lady writer whose 'Spanish Brothers' and 'Dark Year of Dundee' are fair samples of her really superb handiwork._"--CHRISTIAN LEADER.

  =Dorothy Arden.= A Story of England and France Two Hundred Years Ago. ByJ. M. CALLWELL.

  _A story of the dragonnades in France in the time of Louis the Fourteenth; also of the persecutions in England under James the Second, the Monmouth Rebellion, the Bloody Assize, and the Revolution. While a stanch Protestant, the author shows great fairness in recording and judging the actions of both parties._

  =Helena's Household.= A Tale of Rome in the First Century. WithFrontispiece.

  _Illustrates the mode in which the very persecutions of the primitive ages of the Church were made instrumental, through the Spirit of God, to the promulgation of the faith._

  =How They Kept the Faith.= A Tale of the Huguenots of Languedoc. By GRACERAYMOND.

  "_No finer, more touchingly realistic, and truthfully accurate picture of the Languedoc Huguenots than this by Grace Raymond have we met. We most heartily commend this book. It is beautifully got up by its publishers._"--ABERDEEN FREE PRESS.
