By Sigurd Ibsen
Henry Ibsen’s only son is the author of this drama, which William Archer, the distinguished English critic, considers convincing proof that he possesses “dramatic faculty in abundance.” Mr. Archer defines it as “a powerful and interesting play which claims attention on its own merits,” “eminently a play of today, or, rather, perhaps, of tomorrow.”

Artist and Public And Other Essays on Art Subjects
By Kenyon Cox
There is no one writing of art today with the vitality that fills every paragraph of Mr. Cox’s work. Its freedom from what has become almost a conventional jargon in much art criticism, and the essential interest of every comment and suggestion, account for an altogether exceptional success that his book on The Classic Spirit has had within the last few years, and that will be repeated with this volume.

In Dickens’ London
By F. Hopkinson Smith
The rare versatility of an author who can transfer to paper his impressions of atmosphere as well in charcoal sketch as in charmingly told description has made this book an inspiration to the lover of Dickens and to the lover of London. The dusty old haunts of dusty old people, hid forever but for Dickens, are visited again and found little changed. Where modern things have crept in they are noticed with quick observation, keen humor, and that sympathy with the human which the author shares with the great Dickens himself.
