BY W. E. NORRIS _In One Volume, price 6s._ =The Times.=—‘He is a remarkably even writer. And this novel is almost as good a medium as any other for studying the delicacy and dexterity of his workmanship.’ =The National Observer.=—‘Interesting and well written, as all Mr. Norris’s stories are.’ =The Morning Post.=—‘The fidelity of his portraiture is remarkable, and it has rarely appeared to so much advantage as in this brilliant novel.’ =The Saturday Review.=—‘_The Countess Radna_, which its author not unjustly describes as “an unpretending tale,” avoids, by the grace of its style and the pleasant accuracy of its characterisation, any suspicion of boredom.’ =The Daily News.=—‘_The Countess Radna_ contains many of the qualities that make a story by this writer welcome to the critic. It is caustic in style, the character drawing is clear, the talk natural; the pages are strewn with good things worth quoting.’ =The Speaker.=—‘In style, skill in construction, and general “go,” it is worth a dozen ordinary novels.’ =The Academy.=—‘As a whole, the book is decidedly well written, while it is undeniably interesting. It is bright and wholesome: the work in fact of a gentleman and a man who knows the world about which he writes.’ =Black and White.=—‘The novel, like all Mr. Norris’s work is an excessively clever piece of work, and the author never for a moment allows his grasp of his plot and his characters to slacken.’ =The Gentlewoman.=—‘Mr. Norris is a practised hand at his craft. He can write bright dialogue and clear English, too.’ =The Literary World.=—‘His last novel, _The Countess Radna_, is an excellent sample of his style. The plot is simple enough. But the story holds the attention and insists upon being read; and it is scarcely possible to say anything more favourable of a work of fiction.’ =The Scotsman.=—‘The story, in which there is more than a spice of modern life romance, is an excellent study of the problem of mixed marriage. The book is one of good healthy reading, and reveals a fine broad view of life and human nature.’ =The Glasgow Herald.=—‘This is an unusually fresh and well-written story. The tone is thoroughly healthy; and Mr. Norris, without being in the least old-fashioned, manages to get along without the aid of pessimism, psychology, naturalism, or what is known as frank treatment of the relations between the sexes.’ =The Westminster Gazette.=—‘Mr. Norris writes throughout with much liveliness and force, saying now and then something that is worth remembering. And he sketches his minor characters with a firm touch.’ LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A VICTIM OF GOOD LUCK BY W.
