WORKS BY FREDERIC MANNING
SCENES AND PORTRAITS
Crown 8vo. 6s.
"It is excellent work of a rare kind, and will leaven a large lump of current literature."—Times.
"Son imagination, sa curiosité amusée, son érudition lui donnent cette tournure d'esprit et cette originalité d'expression qui nous séduisent si particulièrement chez M. Remy de Gourmont."—Mercure de France.
"Since Mr. Arnold, there has been no such ironist in this country as the author of 'Scenes and Portraits.' Irony is not an English quality; and Mr. Manning's is distinctly not an English book. It is Latin in its intelligence, in its disregard of consequences, in its presentation of the pure idea. If Lucian, Landor, Renan, and Anatole France could have collaborated, the result would have been some such work as this."—Edinburgh Review, October 1909.
"They have a curious originality, and, though fantastic in the extreme, are always singularly alert and attractive. They will be welcomed because they contain much that is fresh and unexpected and stimulating."—Observer.
