The Crisis Illustrated
"It is a charming love story, and never loses its interest ... The
intense political bitterness, the intense patriotism of both parties,
are shown understandingly."--_Evening Telegraph_, Philadelphia.
Coniston Illustrated
"'Coniston' has a lighter, gayer spirit and a deeper, tenderer touch
than Mr. Churchill has ever achieved before... It is one of the truest
and finest transcripts of modern American life thus far achieved in
our fiction."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.

By EDEN PHILLPOTTS
The Three Brothers _Cloth, $1.50_
"'The Three Brothers' seems to us the best yet of the long series of
these remarkable Dartmoor tales. If Shakespeare had written novels we
can think that some of his pages would have been like some of these.
Here certainly is language, turn of humor, philosophical play, vigor
of incident such as might have come straight from Elizabeth's day....
The story has its tragedy, but this is less dire, more reasonable than
the tragedy is in too many of Mr. Phillpotts's other tales. The book
is full of a very moving interest, and it is agreeable and
beautiful."--_The New York Sun_.
By Miss ELLEN GLASGOW
The Romance of a Plain Man _$1.50_
"From the first she has had the power to tell a strong story, full of
human interest, but as her work has continued it has shown an
increasing mellowness and sympathy. The atmosphere of this book is
fascinating indeed."--_Chicago Tribune_.

The Heart of a Child _Cloth, $1.50_
BEING PASSAGES FROM THE EARLY LIFE
OF SALLY SNAPE, LADY KIDDERMINSTER
"'Frank Danby' has found herself. It is full of the old wit, the old
humor, the old epigram, and the old knowledge of what I may call the
Bohemia of London; but it is also full of a new quality, the quality
of imaginative tenderness and creative sympathy. It is delightful to
watch the growth of human character either in life or in literature,
and in 'The Heart of a Child' one can see the brilliancy of Frank
Danby suddenly burgeoning into the wistfulness that makes cleverness
soft and exquisite and delicate.... It is a mixture of naturalism and
romance, and one detects in it the miraculous power ... of seeing
things steadily and seeing them wholly, with relentless humor and
pitiless pathos. The book is crowded with types, and they are all
etched in with masterly fidelity of vision and sureness of touch, with
feminine subtlety as well as virile audacity."--James Douglas in _The
Star_, London.
