Mammon and Co.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
This latest novel by a popular author deals with personages living in the same society that was characterized by Dodo and The Rubicon. Mr. Benson is thoroughly acquainted with the society in which he places the scenes of his novels of London life. In Mammon and Co. the good genius of the tale is an American girl. The book will be found to be one of exceeding interest throughout.
A Detail of the Day. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
'Dodo' is a delightfully witty sketch of the 'smart' people of society.... The writer is a true artist. — London Spectator.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
The anticipations which must have been formed by all readers of 'Dodo' will in no wise be disappointed by 'The Rubicon.' The new work is well written, stimulating, unconventional, and, in a word, characteristic. Intellectual force is never absent, and the keen observation and knowledge of character, of which there is abundant evidence, are aided by real literary power. — Birmingham Post.
Author of DODO, THE RUBICON
Egotism is certainly the first, said Lady Conybeare with admirable firmness; and your inclination towards your neighbour is the second.
Now, this was the sort of thing which Alice Haslemere liked; and she stopped abruptly in the middle of her rather languishing conversation with nobody in particular to ask for explanations. It sounded promising.
The first what, and the second what, Kit? she inquired.
The first and the second lessons, said Lady Conybeare promptly. The first and the second social virtues, if you are particular. I am going to set up a school for the propagation of social virtues, where I shall teach the upper classes to be charming. There shall be a special class for royalty.
E. F. Benson
