shows appreciation of the value of reticence.’
=The Manchester Courier.=—‘The book is full of delicate touches of
characterisation, and is written with considerable sense of style.’
=The Glasgow Herald.=—‘Worked out with great skill and success.... The
story is powerfully told.’
=The Liverpool Mercury.=—‘The story is told with sympathy and pathos,
and the concluding chapters are touching in the extreme.’
=The Birmingham Gazette.=—‘A sad story beautifully written, containing
pure thoughts and abundant food for reflection upon the misery which
exists in the world at the present day. The tale is particularly
pathetic, but it is true in character. It will be read with interest.’

IN HASTE AND AT LEISURE
BY E. LYNN LINTON
_In One Volume, price 6s._
=The Speaker.=—‘Mrs. Lynn Linton commands the respect of her readers and
critics. Her new story, _In Haste and at Leisure_, is as powerful a
piece of writing as any that we owe to her pen.’
=The St. James’s Budget.=—‘A thorough mistress of English, Mrs. Lynn
Linton uses the weapons of knowledge and ridicule, of sarcasm and logic,
with powerful effect; the shallow pretences of the “New Woman” are
ruthlessly torn aside.’
=The Literary World.=—‘Whatever its exaggerations may be, _In Haste and
at Leisure_ remains a notable achievement. It has given us pleasure, and
we can recommend it with confidence.’
=The Court Journal.=—‘The book is a long but brilliant homily and series
of object-lessons against the folly and immorality of the modern craze
of the most advanced women, who rail against men, marriage, and
maternity. The book is immensely powerful, and intensely interesting.’
=The Daily Graphic.=—‘It is an interesting story, while it is the most
tremendous all-round cannonade to which the fair emancipated have been
subjected.’
=The World.=—‘It is clever, and well written.’
=The Graphic.=—‘It is thoroughly interesting, and it is full of passages
that almost irresistibly tempt quotation.’
=The St. James’s Gazette.=—‘It is a novel that ought to be, and will be,
widely read and enjoyed.’
=The Globe.=—‘It is impossible not to recognise and acknowledge its
great literary merit.’
=The Glasgow Herald.=—‘_In Haste and at Leisure_ is a striking and even
brilliant novel.’
=The Manchester Courier.=—‘In this cruelly scientific analyses of the
“New Woman,” Mrs. Lynn Linton writes with all the bitterness of Dean
Swift. The book is one of remarkable power.’
