A New Medley of Memories
Hunter Blair, David Oswald, Sir
Hunter Blair, David Oswald, Sir, 1853-1939
"As a penetrating study of a rather uncommon personality it must be
regarded as a first-class piece of work."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"In this grave and beautiful comedy of English life, with its central
figure typifying the strength and crudity of those spiritual influences
which have come to us from America, Anne Douglas Sedgwick reveals the
growth and maturity of her power."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"An immensely clever study of an American girl and of the havoc wrought
by her entry into an ordinary English country family. It is probably
the best novel Miss Sedgwick has yet written."--_Evening Standard_.
"Miss Sedgwick has never done better than in this novel and in nothing
is it so admirable as in the way in which her laughter leaves us and
her ready to admire Adrienne when, not changed, but converted, she
learns from Oldmeadow how much she has grown in spiritual
wisdom."--_Daily News_.
"A remarkable and living narrative, well deserving all the applause
that it has received."--_Outlook_.
"It is a surprising book--delicate and imaginative. Miss Sedgwick
excels in the rendering of recurrent moods, changes of attitude, subtle
currents of feeling. This is by far the best work she has given
us."--_British Weekly_.
"A novel of rare distinction."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"No one could read 'Adrienne Toner' without determining to miss nothing
from the same pen."--_Birmingham Post_.
"It is a long time since one has read a novel at once as interesting
and as satisfying in its craftsmanship as this. Miss Sedgwick's
artistry is firmer and stronger in her new book than ever yet. The way
in which Adrienne is made visible is from the start quite
masterly."--_Review of Reviews_.
"The book is to be read, thoughtfully and carefully, and with the
realization that all the time we are seeing into some of the
complexities of human nature as they are presented to us to-day. A
fascinating and powerful and uncommon book."--_Church Times_.
THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
By REGINALD FARRER,
AUTHOR OF "MY ROCK GARDEN," "ALPINES AND BOG PLANTS," ETC.
With Illustrations and Map. Second Impression. 21s. net.
"A classic of travel. Of modern travellers with a sense of style, Mr.
Farrer must take his place in the forefront alongside of Mr. Doughty,
Mr. Cunninghame Graham, and Mr. Norman Douglas."--_Times Literary
Supplement_.
"There can be no denying that Mr. Farrer was one of the great masters
of English prose. His last book is bright with sidelights on _vie
intime_ of the essential China."--_Morning Post_.
THE SOUL AND BODY OF AN ARMY.
By GENERAL SIR IAN HAMILTON, G.C.B.
AUTHOR OF "A STAFF-OFFICER'S SCRAP-BOOK," "GALLIPOLI DIARY," ETC.
One Volume. Demy 8vo. 18s. net.
"Sir Ian Hamilton has performed a _tour de force_. He has written a
book on military organization, and in his book there is not a dull
page. It will make some angry, it will make some think, but certainly
it will not produce a yawn."--Major-General Sir F. MAURICE in the
_Daily News_.
