=The Daily Telegraph.=—‘_Corruption_ more than fulfils the brilliant promise of _Mr. Bailey-Martin_.... As its title indicates, it deals with the political and social cankers of the day, which it lays bare with a fearless and unerring touch.’ =The Standard.=—‘The scenes in the South of France are particularly well done; without any attempt at local colour Mr. White has caught the atmosphere skilfully, and there are one or two clever touches of which he appears unconscious. Taking the book as a whole, it is written with ease and knowledge, and has about it nothing of the amateur.’ =The Graphic.=—‘A very able piece of work.’ =Black and White.=—‘The risqué situation is wrought with brilliance and subtilty.... Mrs. Mannering recalls Becky Sharp; and Carew is a typical man of the day.... Mr. Percy White assuredly takes rank with the foremost of the society writers.’ =The Globe.=—‘A graphic picture of social life.’ =The Glasgow Herald.=—‘The characters are well conceived and cleverly portrayed; the dialogue is crisp and sparkling. There is not a dull moment in the volume.’ LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MR. BAILEY-MARTIN BY PERCY WHITE With a Photogravure Portrait of the Author _In One Volume, price 6s._ =The Times.=—‘Mr. White has written an audacious book.’ =The Athenæum.=—‘Mr. White, with the aid of the necessary qualities—dry humour and delicate irony—succeeds nearly all the time.... The character is one exceedingly difficult to portray.... Mr. White has resisted the temptation to force and exaggerate the note, and this is probably the secret of his success.’ =The Speaker.=—‘There is cleverness enough in _Mr. Bailey-Martin_ to furnish forth a dozen novels.... It shows not only a remarkable knowledge of contemporary life, but a keen insight into character, and a considerable degree of literary power.’ =The Daily Telegraph.=—‘The book teems with smart sayings and graphic characterisations, and cannot fail to make a mark among the cleverest novels of the year.’ =The Daily Chronicle.=—‘The book must be pronounced a well-nigh unqualified triumph.’ =The Literary World.=—‘_Mr. Bailey-Martin_ is one of those books whose opportune arrival serves to reconcile the critic to his task.... Bright, fresh, vigorous in action, and told with a wealth of incident and humour.’
