The Threatening Eye

"'Numa Roumestan' is a masterpiece; it is really a perfect work; it has no fault, no weakness. It is a compact and harmonious whole."--MR. HENRY JAMES.

"'Numa Roumestan' is a triumph for the art of literary seduction."--_Spectator._

"The interest of the story is sustained from first to last. It has a charm of its own which will be felt long after its final page has been attained."--_Morning Post._

COUNTESS SARAH.

BY GEORGES OHNET, AUTHOR OF "THE IRONMASTER."

TRANSLATED FROM THE 118TH FRENCH EDITION.

"The book contains some very powerful situations and first-rate character-studies."--_Whitehall Review._

"The translation, which forms one of Vizetelly's capital series of one-volume novels, is a vigorous and obviously faithful one, and to an interesting plot must be added a number of strongly marked and cleverly drawn characters."--_Society._

THIRD EDITION.

A MUMMER'S WIFE.

BY GEORGE MOORE, AUTHOR OF "A MODERN LOVER."

"'A Mummer's Wife' is a striking book, clever, unpleasant, realistic.... The woman's character is a very powerful study, and the strolling player, if less original, is not less completely presented.... No one who wishes to examine the subject of realism in fiction with regard to English novels can afford to neglect 'A Mummer's Wife.'"--_Athenæum._

"'A Mummer's Wife,' in virtue of its vividness of presentation and real literary skill, may be regarded as in some degree a representative example of the work of a literary school that has of late years attracted to itself a good deal of the notoriety which is a very useful substitute for fame."--_Spectator._

"Mr. Moore shows unquestionable power in telling Kate Lennox's story, and the sketch of her second husband--big, frankly sensual, yet good-natured--is probably as good as anything of the kind could be."--_Academy._

"'A Mummer's Wife' holds at present a unique position among English novels. It is a conspicuous success of its kind."--_Graphic._
