“ ‘Quackery,’ says Mr. Thompson, ‘was never more rampant than it is to-day’ with regard to ‘aids in beautifying the person.’ His little book is based on purely hygienic principles, and comprises recipes for toilet purposes which he warrants are ‘practical and harmless.’ These are virtues in any book of health and beauty, and Mr. Thompson’s advice and guidance are, we find, not wanting in soundness and common-sense.”—Saturday Review.

Peer Gynt: A Dramatic Poem
By HENRIK IBSEN
TRANSLATED BY
WILLIAM AND CHARLES ARCHER
This Translation, though unrhymed, preserves throughout
the various rhythms of the Original.
‘To English readers this will not merely be a new work of the Norwegian poet, dramatist, and satirist, but it will also be a new Ibsen.... Here is the imaginative Ibsen, indeed, the Ibsen of such a boisterous, irresistible fertility of fancy that one breathes with difficulty as one follows him on his headlong course.... “Peer Gynt” is a fantastical satirical drama of enormous interest, and the present translation of it is a masterpiece of fluent, powerful, graceful, and literal rendering.’—The Daily Chronicle.

The Strike at Arlingford
(Play in Three Acts.)
By GEORGE MOORE
‘It has the large simplicity of really great drama, and Mr. Moore, in conceiving it, has shown the truest instinct for the art he is for the first time essaying.’—W. A. in The World.
