IN ALL SHADES.

3 vols, crown 8vo, cloth extra, 31s. 6d.

"Mr. Grant Allen could not write a dull story if he wished to do so.... The plot is capitally developed. There is one extremely fine character, Louis Delgado, who stirs up the negroes to revolt; and there is a scene where an attack is made by the negroes on a planter's home, which, for dramatic force, has rarely been equalled of late in fiction. The novel has, in addition to excellence of plot and situation, all the charm that comes of bright and easy dialogue and of character-drawing far above what is ordinarily found. In short, the novel is one to delight every one of good taste."—Scotsman.

"Nora Dupuy is a true, brave, eminently lovable woman, and stands out in the pages of 'In all Shades' as an eminently charming as well as characteristic figure.... On the whole, this is a story of unusual excellence."—Pall Mall Gazette.
