AF TER DAR K. By WILKIE COLLINS.

Author of " Basil," "Ilichcand Seek," &c. 2 vols.
" A series of tales supposed to be told to a portrait-painter by
his sitters. The framework tells us how he came to think of
publishing the stories thus collected—the introductions describe
the circumstances under which the tales were told. These por-
tions have a delicate every-day interest. The tales are stories
of adventure, well varied and often striking in the incidents, or
with thrilling situat,ons, and are as pleasant reading as a novel-
reader could desire."—Spectator.
" Mr. Wilkie Collins Lakes high rank among the few who can
invent a thrilling story, and tell it with brief simplicity. The
power of commanding the faculties of his readers is exercised in
nearly all these stories."—Clobe.
"Mr. Wilkie Collins possesses a rare faculty—l'art de confer.
No man living better tells a story. He has been happy in his
choice of a thread whereon to string the pearls; we feel an in-
dependent interest in it, and read it almost as eagerly as the
stories themselves."—Leader.

AMBERHILL. By A. J. BARROWCLTFFE. 2 vols.
"There is great power in 'Amberbill.' There are in the book
some of the shrewdest sketches of character we have ever met
with. If we suppose the story to be the work of an artist, the
leading characters to be imagined, and her whole career from
first to last to be shaped by design. we must regard it as a won-
derful work of creative genlus."—Press.
" ' Amberhill' is an exciting book. There is a freshness and
force, a petulant grace, and a warm-hearted satirical vein in
' Amberhill' which will give it a charm to every !dose novel-
reader. The characters are vigorously drawn, and have genuine
life in them."—Glote.

" There is talent and vigour about this work. The story is
told with treat energy and some eloquence."—Athencruss.
" Amberhill' appears to be intended as a lesson against
weakness of character, over•lust of wealth, and disregard o re-
ligion. The writer has one great quality fur fiction, that of cora-
wending the attention of the reader."—Spectutor.
