JOHN LOVELL & SON,

23 St. Nicholas Street.

Entered according to Act of Parliament in the year 1891, by John Lovell & Son, in the office of the Minister of Agriculture and Statistics at Ottawa.

JOHN LOVELL & SON'S PUBLICATIONS.

A story written in the author's most striking vein, highly original and deeply interesting, and certainly not the least entertaining of her works.

A thrilling story of Russian outrages on the Jews, of Nihilistic plotting and revenge. It admirably supplements the papers of George Kennan, which have filled so much of the public eye of late.

This book is avowedly of the sensational kind, and of a different class of fiction from the author's previous story of "Paul Knox. Pitman;" the dramatic passages and vivid description of Indian life and scenery are exceptionally fine.

A tale of London social and political life. A characteristic Ouida novel, not too highly spiced, and holds the attention throughout.

The delicate suggestive humor and quiet sarcasm, combined with a good plot, makes every chapter of this book a delight.

Like all the works from the pen of this popular author, this little book is a gem in the ocean of fiction.

An exceedingly interesting and readable book.

A cleverly written book, with exceptional characters. The plot and description of scenery are alike inimitable.

Two military tales, abounding in the most grotesque situations and humorous touches, which will greatly amuse the reader.

A charming romance of English life, and probably the greatest effort of this popular authoress.

An exciting story in which love plays only a secondary part. All who enjoy a first-class story cannot fail to be interested, and the many admirers of Helen Mathers will find a new treasure in this work.

A story of Egyptian-Israelitish life which will bear favorable comparison with Ben-Hur and other high-class books of the same style. The description of the flight of the children of Israel from Egypt, and their subsequent wanderings in the desert, are placed before the reader in a startlingly realistic manner.

This work treats of the superstitious times of 1692, when witchcraft was punished with death. It tends to arouse one's sympathy, and will be read with much interest and profit.
