Rust of Gold. By Francis Prevost. Crown 8vo, art canvas, 5s.
"A series of nine fin de siècle stories of great power and picturesqueness.... A more appalling tale than 'A Ghost of the Sea' has not been recounted for many years past, nor have the tragical potentialities of modern life, as lived by people of culture and refinement, been more graphically illustrated than in 'Grass upon the Housetops,' 'The Skirts of Chance,' and 'False Equivalents.' As word-pictures they are simply masterpieces."—Daily Telegraph.

On the Verge. By Francis Prevost. Crown 8vo, art canvas, 5s.
Mr. Francis Prevost has as pretty a gift for style as any living writer. He touches often upon serious problems, but always with so graceful a touch that his books seem the lightest of reading. Each story is as distinct as an etching. The characters are alive, and the dialogue is witty and diverting. There is not a tale in the book which has not sparkle and spice.
