By George Gissing
950 copies, Fcap 8vo, 75 cents net
To the lover of what may be called spiritual autobiography, perhaps no other book in recent English literature appeals with so potent a charm as “The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft.” It is the highest expression of Gissing’s genius—a book that deserves a place on the same shelf with the Journals of De Guérin and Amiel. For the present publication, the numerous passages of the “Papers” relating to books and reading have been brought together and given an external setting appropriate to their exquisite literary flavor.
Mr. Mosher also begs to state that the following new editions are now ready:
