The Glasgow Herald says:—“A remarkable book, and by a remarkable man.... This book will be read and re-read by all who recognise acuteness of intellectual faculty, culture which has gained much from books, but more from human intercourse, deep thinking, and a gift of literary expression which at times it quite Gallic.”
Mr Maurice Maeterlinck says:—“In this volume I am privileged once more to breathe the atmosphere of supreme spiritual aristocracy which emanates from all Mr Grierson’s work. He has, in his best moments, that most rare gift of casting certain shafts of light, at once simple and decisive, upon questions the most difficult, obscure, and unlooked-for in art, morals, and psychology.... I place these essays among the most subtle and substantial that I know.”

STORIES, SKETCHES, AND STUDIES
BY CHARLES GRANVILLE
Second edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
FULL OF CLEVER CHARACTERISATION
A fine vein of poetic feeling runs through all these stories, sketches, and studies, which are, without exception, highly entertaining and full of clever characterisation. Mr Granville’s style is by turns naïve, deliberate and restrained, but always attractive.
