BELOW THE SURFACE : A Story of
1.1 Enghsh Country Life. 3 vols.
" It is nu secret that it is Sir Arthur Hallam Eltnn who under-
takes to expose the secret workings of modern English society.
The book is unquestionably clever and entertaining. It is a
tale superior to ordinary novels in its practical application to
the phases of actual life. Tho style is level, plain, and in good
taste—felicitous epigrams flashing through the tissue here and
there."—A thencruat.

"The novel keeps the attention fixed, and it in written in a
genial, often playful tone, so that, although containing much
that id romantic in its incidents, there is no drain for effect.
The temper is throughout excellent."—Examiner.
