Romans.
Keightley, S.R.: Barnaby's Bridal. London, John Long.
f 3.90
This book is a well-written story and amusing enough in its way. It is clear, however, that Mr. Keightley's real talent lies in the direction of historical fiction rather than farcical comedy. - Black and White. |

Legrand-Chabrier: Mangwa. Paris, Louis Theuveny.
f 1.90
Qui lira Mangwa y trouvera, selon sa personnelle humeur en accord avec l'humeur de l'auteur (qui est parfois de l'humour), des nouvelles, des rêveries, des idylles, des contes, des fables, à son souhait, qu'il soit réaliste, sentimental, amoureux, fantaisiste ou ironique. C'est un livre à prendre et à laisser... pour le reprendre. Les amateurs d'observations inattendues et piquantes aimeront feuilleter souvent cette curieuse suite de pages pittoresques, de silhouettes dessinées d'un trait original, d'imprévues images littéraires. |

Maartens, Maarten: The Healers. London, A. Constable. & Co.
f 3.90
This book is in fact, a stimulating book. It has observation, reflection, pathos, humour. Not a rollicking humour, ideed, but, let us say, a less captious humour than that which hitherto has sometimes marred our enjoyment of Maarten Maartens. - The Illustrated London News. |

Norris, W.E.: Lone Marie. geb. London, Macmillan.
f 3.90
‘The characters in Mr. W.E. Norris's clever novel Lone Marie, are done with a neatness and dexterity that makes manifest the immense advantage to a character of being brought to life by a veteran's hand. Even if they are not very vigorous by nature, his characters enjoy all the resources of a delicate skill and tactful science’. - Speaker.

‘The whole story, which is full of readable incident, is written with his usual care and finish’. - Athenaeum.
‘We have every reason to thank Mr. Norris for a delightful and delicate piece of work’. - Guardian. |
Pemberton, Max: My Sword for Lafayette. With eight illustrations. London, Hodder and Stoughton.
f 3.90
This book is largely a series of exciting detached incidents, and has little unity of interest or purpose. Still, like all Mr. Pemberton's work, it is dashing and virile, and ought to be very popular. - Black and White. |
Perfall: Anton Freiherr von: Der Nachtfalter, Berlin, Goldschmidt. (Die beiden ersten Auflagen waren in 3 Monaten vergriffen.)
f 1.95; geb. f 2.60
Perfall gibt mit gewohnter Meisterschaft einen Ausschnitt aus dem Künstlerleben der Groszstadt. Die leidensschaftlich bewegte Handlung ist durchwebt von tiefer Tragik. ‘Das starke Erzählertalent Perfalls’ nimmt uns bis zum Schlusse gesangen und zeigt sich in den höchst spannend aufgebauten Szenen in glänzendem Lichte. - Münchener Fremdenblatt. |

Phillpotts, E.: The Portreeve. London, Methuen & Co.
Geb. f 3.90
The Portreeve was an ancient English dignitary whose functions have long since devolved upon more modern officials. There remains little excuse for his existence, but he lingers picturesquely on in the west country and, may be, elsewhere also.
The story is one in the chain of narratives Mr. Phillpotts is weaving about Dartmoor, and it incidentally shows various aspects of the life of to-day, and the ambitions and interests of the folk. It embraces the loftiest regions of Dartmoor, the hills of Yes Tor, High Willhayes, etc., and tha river valleys round about. The township of Okehampton enters into it, and the adjacent village of Bridestowe. The author's sole purpose is to display live men and women, and tell the truth concerning them in terms of literary art. |

Sinclair, Upton: The Jungle. London, Heinemann.
f 3.90
This is a grim book, but a notable and sincere book. - The Graphic.
In the Jungle Mr. Upton Sinclair attempts to give a realistic picture of the conditions of life in the canned-meat industry in Chicago and he succeeds so well that one feels now and then just a little nauseated. The Jungle is a story-book, a brave book, a book with real lavable human beings moving through it. - Black and White. |

Thorne, Guy: When it was dark. The story of a great Conspiracy. London, Greening.
f 3.90
Translations of this remarkable story are appearing in France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, &c. In America it is creating a literary sensation. It is being dramatised for immediate production, and it has been preached about by ministers of all denominations in every part of the world. It has been praised and recommended by (among others), the Rev. R.J. Campbell, the Bishop of Exeter, the Dean of Durham, Father Ignatius, and the Right Rev. the Bishop of London who preaching at Westminster Abbey said: ‘I wonder whether any of you have read that remarkable work of fiction, entitled “When it was Dark”? It paints, in wonderful colours, what it seems to me the world would be if for six months, as in the story it is supposed to be the case, owing to a gigantic fraud, the Resurrection might be supposed never to have occurred, and as you feel the darkness creeping round the world, you see how woman in a moment loses the best friend she ever had, and crime and violence increase in every part of the world. When you see how darkness settles down upon the human spirit when it sat for six months and regarded the Christian record as a fable, then you quit with something like adequate thanksgiving, and thank God it is light because of the awful darkness when it was dark’. |

Vachell, Horace Annesley: Brothers. 2 vols. Leipzig, Tauchnitz.
f 2.-
‘In his new novel Mr. Horace Annesley Vachell has far surpassed, in skill, interest, and construction his previous work, and has given a story full of living actuality. The description of school life in Harrow is capital, and is almost worthy to rank with “Tom Brown's School Days”. A novel that should not be missed’. - Daily Telegraph. |

This new story of the author is one of those tales which are evidently intended to expose the viciousness of modern society. It deals with women who spend foolish amounts of money on paint, cosmetics, and ridiculous nostrums; with beauty specialists, who impose on the credulity of fools, with creatures who live by blackmail et hoc genus omne. - The Graphic. |
