Mr. RUDYARD KIPLING says—
“Mr. Guy Boothby has come to great honours now. His name is large upon hoardings, his books sell like hot cakes, and he keeps a level head through it all. I’ve met him several times in England, and he added to my already large respect for him.”
PHAROS, THE EGYPTIAN.
“This powerful novel is weird, wonderful, and soul-thrilling. Mr. Boothby succeeds in making it almost real, and its marvels and mysteries almost credable. There never was in this world so strange and wonderful a love story and Mr. Guy Boothby’s admirers will probably agree that the most marvellous fiction he has ever produced is ‘Pharos, the Egyptian.’”—The Scotsman.

Novels by Joseph Hocking.
CROWN 8vo, CLOTH GILT, 3s. 6d. EACH.
(EACH VOLUME UNIFORM.)
THOUGH Mr. Joseph Hocking’s novels have been (by the Spectator) compared to Mr. Baring-Gould’s and (by the Star) to Mr. Thomas Hardy’s—next to whom it placed him as a writer of country life—and by other journals to Mr. Hall Caine and Mr. Robert Buchanan, they are, one and all, stamped with striking and original individuality. Bold in conception, pure in tone, strenuously high and earnest in purpose, daring in thought, picturesque and life-like in description, worked out with singular power and in nervous and vigorous language, it is not to be wondered at that Mr. Hocking’s novels are eagerly awaited by a large and ever increasing public.

WORKS BY
E. Phillips Oppenheim
Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 3s. 6d.
THE MAN AND HIS KINGDOM.
Illustrated by J. Ambrose Walton.
A stirring romance of modern communism and political intrigue, in which the author has brought his peculiar skill in the weaving of sensational incident to bear upon a plot and a Scenario, which might have fascinated Anthony Hope himself.
MYSTERIOUS MR. SABIN.
Illustrated by J. Ambrose Walton.
“One of the brightest and best managed yarns we have read for many a day. We can recommend Mr. Sabin to all who like a thoroughly robust mystery tale.”—Sheffield Independent.
“A distinctly clever and interesting story of state-craft and intrigue.... Full of dramatic incidents and surprises.”—St. James’s Gazette.
AS A MAN LIVES.
Illustrated by Stanley L. Wood.
“If you feel the need of a stimulant of this kind (an exciting story), I can recommend you a singularly stirring sensational novel.”—Truth.
“A deeply interesting volume. The story is a strangely exciting one.”—Manchester Courier.
Crown 8vo, Picture Wrapper, 1s.
FALSE EVIDENCE.
A leading London playwright applied for permission to dramatise this story, and the thrilling character of the plot has proved so popular that several large editions have been called for.
Demy 8vo, Wrapper, 6d.
THE PEER AND THE WOMAN.
A most exciting story, which is so thrilling that it is impossible to lay down the book until finished. The mystery thickens with each succeeding chapter, and it is not until the very last that the clever plot is revealed.

FOOTNOTES:
[A] The Daily Chronicle has since investigated this and conclusively proved it to be a fable. It seems that human excellence still has altitudes to scale.
[B] It should be noted that at the Oval it is invariably “a crowd.” At Lord’s it is correct to say “a company.”
[C] This incident of the toss seems so impossible that in the nature of things it ought to be quite true. As a matter of fact, it is quite true, having actually come within the writer’s experience. Artistically, though, the accident of its occurrence makes it neither the more defensible nor the less incredible. Art ought not to subscribe to the Press Association.
