With Some Other Notes
By Henry James
Here is a book which describes with penetrating analysis and in a thoroughly entertaining manner of telling the work not only of the great modern novelists of the last century, Stevenson, Zola, Balzac, Flaubert, and Thackeray, but also takes up in a chapter entitled “The New Novel” the work of Galsworthy, Mrs. Wharton, Conrad, Wells, Walpole, Bennett and the other more important contemporary novelists. This chapter gives in a short space as keen and authoritative a criticism of present-day fiction as can be found.

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.
