Crown 8vo. 6s.

Pall Mall Gazette:—"Mr. Baron Russell has succeeded so admirably, so convincingly, in this difficult task, that I only check the eulogies quivering at the point of my pen for fear they may read like 'gush.'"

Mr. Coulson Kernahan, in the Temple Magazine:—"Haunting, and all the more haunting because pictured with such realism and such art. Mr. Russell is the Zola of Camberwell and Peckham."

THE MANDATE

Crown 8vo. 6s.

Graphic:—"Besides its merits of originality, it has those of a remarkably virile style, and of a capacity for the portrayal of real passion which we trust to meet again."

Bookman:—"Original and striking…. There is unmistakable talent in the book. Mr. Russell should go far."

Outlook:—"A peculiar blending of careful realism with careful sensation. The main characters are well drawn."

Morning Leader:—"'The Mandate' is a novel out of the common, and is stamped with the impress of no little creative power."
