A SELECTED LIST OF FICTION
_BY ALGERNON BLACKWOOD_
THE EMPTY HOUSE
THE MORNING POST: "No one will read this book without dread ... exceedingly well done ... everyone who has a shelf for the horrible in his library will welcome it and give it its place."
THE MORNING LEADER: "There is a dreadful fascination about these clever yet unpretentious stories. We have seldom met ghostly fiction which has fulfilled its end more adequately."
_BY CHARLES MARRIOTT_
MRS. ALEMERE'S ELOPEMENT
THE DAILY CHRONICLE: "'Mrs. Alemere's Elopement' is a work of art.... An outstanding novel."
WOMEN AND THE WEST
THE ACADEMY: "Whatever he produces bears the hall-mark of his subtle mind. We believe that if he honestly tried for a month, he could not write anything that was stale in thought, stale in character and phrase."
THE LAPSE OF VIVIEN EADY
THE TIMES: "As a writer Mr. Marriott increases in virtue. We have never known his prose so good, whether in description, dialogue, or analysis."
THE MORNING POST: "It seems to us that 'The Lapse of Vivien Eady' is distinctly the best book he has hitherto produced. The characters are excellently well drawn ... and the book is full of delicate impressions of the aspects of sea and sky and moorland."
THE REMNANT
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "Nothing is more reassuring to the student of literature than to watch, in the midst of the careless rise and fall of so many reputations, the steady advance of such a novelist as Mr. Marriott. It is unnecessary to argue that fiction is a true and living and important branch of English literature when it numbers among its younger exponents such men as the author of 'The Remnant.' We welcome this book as an addition to the small body of good psychological fiction in English."
THE WONDROUS WIFE _Second Edition_
THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE: "The story has something of the Greek grandeur, simplicity and inevitableness. The plot is woven with the greatest skill; there is a directness in the construction which is masterly."
THE TIMES: "There are few living novelists who show signs of thinking out things so broadly and independently as Mr. Marriott in this book.... Well constructed, interesting, and moving, and the characters are full of life.... Mr. Marriott's dialogue is admirable."
THE KISS OF HELEN
THE MORNING POST: "In sympathetic interpretation of character, in skilful analysis of situation, and in dexterity of dialogue, he is at his high-water mark."
THE DAILY GRAPHIC: "The best novel Mr. Marriott has written since 'The Column.'"
_BY RENE BAZIN_
THE NUN _Fifth Edition_ _With Frontispiece in Photogravure by Harold Copping_
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "It is difficult to speak in measured terms of this book.... A consummate artist, his work eats into the heart and lives in the memory as do but few books from modern authors."
THE DAILY MAIL: "'The Nun' is a novel of great beauty and distinction."
THE DAILY CHRONICLE: "Told with a power and simplicity that are beyond all words of praise.... Beautiful, extremely beautiful."
THE STANDARD: "Nothing can be more tender, more delicate, more sensitively artistic."
THE MORNING POST: "The book is full of poignant moments ... a noble and ennobling study in human idealism."
THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE: "A book which no one who reads it will ever forget."
THE EVENING STANDARD: "We have discovered in it an absorbing interest--the interest which comes of humanity skilfully moulded by art, of essential truth and fine perception.... A very powerful piece of work."
THE SATURDAY REVIEW: "It is a pitiful and poignant story, rich in real drama and arresting by its fidelity to the truths of life."
THE DAILY GRAPHIC: "A master-work of fiction."
_BY J. S. FLETCHER_
MR. POSKITT
THE ATHENAEUM: "Mr. Poskitt is an altogether delightful creation."
THE SKETCH: "Mr. Fletcher's characters are always the characters of life, and it is pleasant to think that there are still Mr. Poskitts in this money-seeking, hurrying and scurrying world of work."
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "The Yorkshire farmer is a picturesque type, and Mr. Poskitt is certainly very pleasant company. There is attraction in his kindliness, his taste for good living, his liberal yet practical judgment of men and things, and his dialect, which the author administers with discretion. This is not a novel, but a series of sketches from a quiet life, cleverly strung together, and we have not met with anything from Mr. Fletcher's pen that is more thoroughly enjoyable."
THE HARVEST MOON _Ready Shortly_
_BY OLIVER ONIONS_
PEDLAR'S PACK
THE DAILY EXPRESS: "A charming volume."
_BY ALPHONSE COURLANDER_
SETH OF THE CROSS
THE MORNING POST: "A powerful story."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "There is genuine and unforced pathos in the narrative of Seth Craddock's struggle against fate."
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "A good book that should have a popular as well as an artistic success."
_BY MRS. PHILIP CHAMPION DE CRESPIGNY_
THE GREY DOMINO
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "A well-told romance of scenes laid in France at a time when the horrors of St. Bartholomew were still a vivid recollection, swords flashed freely at sight of a foe, and adventures were to be had for less than the asking."
THE DAILY MAIL: "This is a brisk romance of the days of Henri Quatre, what time de Rosny was in authority. It has, however, little to do with politics, for which readers will be grateful, and a good deal with love and adventures."
THE ROSE BROCADE
THE BOOKMAN: "A book which will most deservedly find many delighted readers."
THE SPANISH PRISONER _Second Edition_
THE SCOTSMAN: "Recent romantic fiction has few more charming heroines than Paloma Cuevedos."
_BY WARWICK DEEPING_
THE SEVEN STREAMS
THE MORNING POST: "'The Seven Streams' is a fine tale ... full of strong emotions.... Picturesque description is Mr. Deeping's special gift, and he has it in large measure."
_BY CULLEN GOULDSBURY_
GOD'S OUTPOST
THE TRIBUNE: "The writer gives a vivid account of South African life, painting it in no glowing colours. He touches firmly on the medley of conflicting elements. From many points of view the book has great merits--indeed, it very narrowly escapes being relegated to a much higher place."
CIRCE'S GARDEN
_BY BEATRICE GRIMSHAW_
VAITI OF THE ISLANDS
THE SPECTATOR: "Extremely virile.... A writer of more than ordinary promise."
VANITY FAIR: "A good book.... The setting is wonderful, and Beatrice Grimshaw knows how to make it interest us.... I read the book from cover to cover with pleasure."
_BY WILLIAM LE QUEUX_
THE INVASION OF 1910
THE COUNT'S CHAUFFEUR _Second Edition_
THE WOMAN IN THE WAY _Second Edition_
THE LADY IN THE CAR
_BY FRANK RICHARDSON_
BUNKUM _Third Edition_
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "A real gem."
THE DAILY MAIL: "Hilariously funny."
THE DAILY EXPRESS: "Will make you laugh like anything."
THE EVENING STANDARD: "A perfect _crescendo_ of fun."
THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD
THE TIMES: "As full of witticisms and as irrepressible as ever."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Extremely funny. A feast of fun an
d frolic."
THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "Once again and more, we think, than ever he will be found irresistible."
THE OTHER MAN'S WIFE _Shortly_
_BY F. C. PHILIPS_
THE DEAN AND HIS DAUGHTER
THE TIMES: "The cruelty with which the world treats a divorced woman was perhaps never illustrated so powerfully or with such sarcasm as in this straightforward narrative, told by the victim herself without a complaint or a single cry of indignation."
AS IN A LOOKING GLASS
_BY PERCY WHITE_
THE TRIUMPH OF MRS. ST. GEORGE
THE ATHENAEUM: "In none of the novels that have gone to make his reputation as a satirist of certain phases of West-End life is the dialogue more sparkling or the character-drawing more vivacious."
THE COUNTESS AND THE KING'S DIARY
MR. STRUDGE
THE MORNING POST: "By far the ablest piece of work that Mr. Percy White has yet done."
THE GLOBE: "Undoubtedly this is the best thing Mr. White has done."
_BY HORACE ANNESLEY VACHELL_
A DRAMA IN SUNSHINE
THE WORLD: "Wholly admirable."
THE LIVERPOOL COURIER: "An excellent story characterised by that breadth and strength which have given Mr. Vachell so prominent a place among our novelists."
THE PROCESSION OF LIFE
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "So well written, so true to life, so instinct with quaint wisdom and quiet humour as to stand apart from the current fiction of the hour. There is a true savour of literature about it.... The story, simple and truthful, is as delightful as the people who figure in it. Mr. Vachell's book is one to get and to read, and, when read, to keep for reading again."
_BY HERBERT FLOWERDEW_
MAYNARD'S WIVES
VANITY FAIR: "Maynard was a man who got his marriages inextricably entangled. It was not altogether his fault: his first wife should have been more open with him. If she had not been a bigamist, he would not have been a bigamist.... He was a self-indulgent weakling of the most despicable kind; and Mr. Flowerdew has worked out his character with considerable skill."
THE THIRD KISS
_BY RITA_
THE POINTING FINGER _Second Edition_
THE MILLIONAIRE GIRL _Second Edition_
_BY MRS. HAROLD E. GORST_
THE THIEF ON THE CROSS _Second Edition_
THE EVENING STANDARD: "By far the best and ablest book its author has yet written."
BY _EDGAR JEPSON_
THE ADMIRABLE TINKER
_BY JAMES BLYTH_
DEBORAH'S LIFE
LAWFUL ISSUE
THE TRIBUNE: "Mr. Blyth's new novel may be recommended as a strong and bracing tonic to those who find themselves in a state of mental debilitation after a long course of contemporary fiction reading."
THE DAILY CHRONICLE: "A remarkable achievement."
_BY G. B. BURGIN_
WHICH WOMAN
THE OUTLOOK: "It is an unusual and at moments a powerful book. The conception of a woman of the kind that would make so desperate a fight for her own happiness as Marion in this novel is well and boldly carried out."
GALAHAD'S GARDEN
THE SCOTSMAN: "Mr. Burgin at his best."
_BY FORD MADOX HUEFFER_

_BY MORICE GERARD_
A GENTLEMAN OF LONDON

THE PROMOTION OF THE ADMIRAL _Second Edition, crown 8vo, 3s. 6d._
THE SPECTATOR: "Very delightful as well as very unusual."
VANITY FAIR: "The liveliest sea stories I know."
THE REFEREE: "The Admiral is a character ... fresh, original, and immensely diverting."
THE BLUE PETER _Second Edition_
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "For a book of sea stories delightfully fresh and humorous it would be difficult to beat 'The Blue Peter.'"
THE ATHENAEUM: "Mr. Roberts is out for a lark in this book, and a lark he has."
THE RED BURGEE
THE MORNING POST: "Mr. Morley Roberts is quite at his best.... There is not a single story in the book which is not worth reading, and we cordially recommend 'The Red Burgee.'"
THE STANDARD: "We should be genuinely sorry if we thought that anyone who loved the sea missed reading this book."
PAINTED ROCK
THE STANDARD: "This is unquestionably the most powerful, vigorous, and impressive book of short stories that Mr. Morley Roberts has ever written, good as is the record that lies behind him.... The great things of human nature start up at every point and confront you boldly."

THE STANDARD: "A perfect mine of laughter."
THE EVENING STANDARD: "He is something of a joy."
