Author of "The Romance of War," " Cavaliers of Fortune," "Dick Rodney," "Tho Constable of France," "Fairer than a Fairy," "The Phantom Regiment," "Lucy Ardeu," &c., &c. Tho recent lamentable death of James Grant is a distinct loss to the world of light literature. His influence on Fiction commenced forty years ago, and there has, from that date, been a tremendous run upon stories of adventure, of which he was a prolific writer. He was of that school of Novelists of which Charles Lever was a distinguished ornament, and of which tho rest present-day representatives are, perhaps, Rider Haggard and R. L. Stevenson, Grant, from hia youth up, was trained for the military profession, but gave up his commission while comparatively young and devoted his talents to literature, with abounding success. Prior to his last illness, he completed the MSS. of a New Novel of a stirring character, entitled : Love's Labour "Won: AN EVENTFUL STORY. Wo are gratified to state that we have been successful in securing this, the last Romance from his pen, for original publication in our columns, and the Opening Chapters will appear on SATURDAY, MAY -ITH, ISBO. It is not too much to say that James Grant's Stories are thoroughly enjoyed by all classes. They are remarkable for their action and incident. Some of the more stirring scenes in the history of the present and the previous generation of this country have been utilised by this Author in constructing his Stories, and it is in situations calling for the highest powers of the descriptive writer that James Grant is seen to tho best advantage. His heroes are brave and fearless, and his heroines charming and loveable. Grant possessed an artist's eye for bold and striking effects, whether in scenes of strife or in scenes of peace, and he has given in his numerous volumes many delightful glimpses of pastoral life, relieving the darker and more tragic passages with which his works abound, Love's Labour Won is a story of last year, and tho scenes are chiefly laid in Oxfordshire, Calcutta, Burtnah, and London. Thero is a strong plot, and in the course of tho story wo aro introduced to tho scenes of active military operations in the East described with a soldier's relish and novelist's skill. The reader's attention is early engaged in following tho fortunes of tho characters introduced, while the interest rapidly developes as the story proceeds to a surprising climax.

Publication will commence on SATURDAY. MAY 4TH. We trust our Readers will give the widest possible publicity to this announcement, in order that they and their friends may enjoy together the perusal iu our columns of this original novel by so popular an author.
