Outlook.—“Well written and decidedly entertaining. It is to be hoped that Mr Taber may produce another series of characteristic stories, as direct in their appeal to the sympathy as are these.”
Literature.—“Fresh and uncommon. Mr Taber really gets the Arctic atmosphere and feeling into his work.”
Woman: A Study and Defence. Adapted from the French of Alfred Fouillée by the Rev. T. A. Seed. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.
Review of the Week.—“An interesting little book. The scientific arguments are lucidly and convincingly put.”
Sunday Special.—“There is much curious information in this little book, first as to the scientific origin and formation of the feminine portion of humanity, and next as to woman’s limitations and powers.”
Scotsman.—“It is a suggestive essay on the eternal question of the Eternal Feminine, the principal points in which problem it states with neatness and brevity, and argues out with commendable conciseness.”

A Trip to Paradoxia, and other Humours of the Hour. Being Contemporary Pictures of Social Fact and Political Fiction. By T. H. S. Escott, Author of “Personal Forces of the Period,” “Social Transformation of the Victorian Age,” “Platform, Press, Politics, and Play,” Etc. A new and cheaper edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
Standard.—“A book which is amusing from cover to cover. Bright epigrams abound in Mr Escott’s satirical pictures of the modern world.… Those who know the inner aspects of politics and society will, undoubtedly, be the first to recognise the skill and adroitness with which he strikes at the weak places in a world of intrigue and fashion.… There is a great deal of very clever sword-play in Mr Escott’s description of Dum-Dum (London), the capital of Paradoxia (England).”
