PHILIPS, F. C.
MEN, WOMEN AND THINGS, by F. C. Philips. Author of “As in a Looking-Glass,” etc. Crown 8vo, buckram cloth. 3s. 6d.
Daily Mail.—“There is hardly one of them which is not enjoyable. Mr Philips’s manner is suggestive of the manner of Gyp. He is a capital chronicler of the surface things of life.”
Manchester Courier.—“The author has deservedly secured favour as a writer of smart stories. In the present volume of short sketches we have the usual vivid delineation of character, clever dialogue, and at times good use of incident. The volume is decidedly entertaining.”
Country Life.—“Everything that is written by the author of ‘As in a Looking-Glass’ is clever. There is ingenuity as well as pathos in these stories.”
