SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"There is no praise too high for Mrs. Martin's delightful story. It is quite refreshing to turn away from sensationalism and more pretentious works to the natural strain and healthy tone of 'Bonnie Lesley.' We were afraid at one point in the story that the lady help' was to fall a victim to romantic precedent and become the wife of the heir of the house; but Mrs. Martin steers clear of such a haven for her heroine, and gives her instead to a clever husband, with whom she finds a congenial home. Our best wishes go with her."-Academy.

"A very pleasant book, and contains a decidedly interesting story. Mrs. Martin may be congratulated on her success in getting sympathy for her heroine."--Athenæum.

"A brightly-written story, which will more than confirm the favourable opinion formed of Mrs. Herbert Martin's previous works. The heroine is a frank, high-spirited girl, in whose fortune it is impossible not to take an interest."-John Bull.

The story is charmingly told throughout, the interest being well sustained, while the probabilities are never once violated."-City Press.

"Pleasantly and brightly told, and full of healthy interest."-Scotsman. "This capitally written story. . . . The incidents are very effectively narrated."-Rock.

"A charming story."-Pictorial World.

"This is a good, readable, healthy tale."--Nonconformist.
