Arthur Morrison. TALES OF MEAN STREETS. By Arthur Morrison. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘Told with consummate art and extraordinary detail. He tells a plain, unvarnished tale, and the very truth of it makes for beauty. In the true humanity of the book lies its justification, the permanence of its interest, and its indubitable triumph.’—Athenæum.
‘A great book. The author’s method is amazingly effective, and produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the mark it is certain to make.’—World.
Arthur Morrison. A CHILD OF THE JAGO. By Arthur Morrison, Author of ‘Tales of Mean Streets.’ Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
This, the first long story which Mr. Morrison has written, is like his remarkable ‘Tales of Mean Streets,’ a realistic study of East End life.
‘The book is a masterpiece.’—Pall Mall Gazette.
‘Told with great vigour and powerful simplicity.’—Athenæum.
J. Maclaren Cobban. THE KING OF ANDAMAN: A Saviour of Society. By J. Maclaren Cobban. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘An unquestionably interesting book. It would not surprise us if it turns out to be the most interesting novel of the season, for it contains one character, at least, who has in him the root of immortality, and the book itself is ever exhaling the sweet savour of the unexpected.... Plot is forgotten and incident fades, and only the really human endures, and throughout this book there stands out in bold and beautiful relief its high-souled and chivalric protagonist, James the Master of Hutcheon, the King of Andaman himself.’—Pall Mall Gazette.
H. Morrah. A SERIOUS COMEDY. By Herbert Morrah. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘There are many delightful places in this volume, which is well worthy of its title. The theme has seldom been presented with more freshness or more force.’—Scotsman.
L. B. Walford. SUCCESSORS TO THE TITLE. By Mrs. Walford, Author of ‘Mr. Smith,’ etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
‘The story is fresh and healthy from beginning to finish; and our liking for the two simple people who are the successors to the title mounts steadily, and ends almost in respect.’—Scotsman.
