The Shadow on the Manse. A Story of Religion and the Stage. By Campbell Rae-Brown, Author of “Kissing-Cup’s Race,” etc. Cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
Public Opinion.—“An excellent novel in every way.”
Bookman.—“An interesting story well told.”
Weekly Sun.—“A touching story and a clever one.”
Literature.—“The situations are … treated with a satirical bitterness of tone. But many of the scenes are strong in themselves, cleverly arranged, and treated with power and reticence.… There are occasional faults, but the tenderness with which Mary Paul’s self-sacrifice is recorded, makes us inclined to condone them and to congratulate the author.”
A Social Upheaval. An Unconventional Dramatic Satirical Tale. By Isidore G. Ascher, Author of “An Odd Man’s Story,” “The Doom of Destiny,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s.
Daily Telegraph.—“The hero is an interesting dreamer, absorbed in his schemes, which are his one weakness. To women, save when they can further the good of his cause, he is obdurate; in business, strong, energetic and powerful. He is shown to us as the man with a master mind and one absorbing delusion, and as such is a pathetic figure. No one can dispute the prodigality and liveliness of the author’s imagination; his plot teems with striking incidents.”
Vanity Fair.—“The story tells itself very clearly in three hundred pages of very pleasant and entertaining reading. The men and women we meet are not the men and women we really come across in this world. So much the better for us. But we are delighted to read about them, for all that; and we prophesy success for Mr Ascher’s book, particularly as he has taken the precaution of telling us that he is ‘only in fun.’”
A Cry in the Night. An exciting Detective Story. By Arnold Golsworthy, Author of “Death and the Woman,” “Hands in the Darkness,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
Pall Mall Gazette.—“The book is ingenious and cleverly constructed, and there is no lack of exciting reading, it is melodramatic, but is relieved by humour characteristic of Mr Golsworthy.”
