=The Methodist Times.=—‘The story retains its interest throughout. It contains some vividly-drawn delineations of character.’ =Woman.=—‘Contains the finest, surest, subtlest character drawing that England has had from a new writer for years and years past.’ =Public Opinion.=—‘A well written and fascinating novel. It is a clever sketch of life in its different phases.... “Every personage strikes one as being richly endowed with individuality.”’ =The Manchester Courier.=—‘A decided success. There are such women as Joanna Conway in the world, though, unfortunately, not so many as are required; but there are few writers of the present day who can do justice to such a character, so poetical, and yet so practical.... There is humour in the book: the scene is chiefly in Ireland, and who can truly write of Ireland without humour? but the greatest charm is in the wonderful tenderness, in the womanly chivalry which renders so true the title of a self-denying ordinance.’ LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ELDER CONKLIN BY FRANK HARRIS _In One Volume, price 6s._ =The Times.=—‘Ably conceived, and ably-written stories.... Mr. Frank Harris has proved himself at once a subtle and effective writer of fiction.’ =The National Observer.=—‘Mr. Harris’s work leaves on the mind a vivid impression. All the stories in the volume are well written and admirably constructed.’ =The Academy.=—‘Page after page glows with masterly invention, tender pathos, excellent wit: attributes belonging to the magicians of fiction. Its cleverness is often near akin to absolute genius; the dexterity of the writer evokes not only surprises, but rare pleasure.’ =The Pall Mall Gazette.=—‘The characters are clearly defined and combined with great skill; they breathe genuineness and truth. There is force and pathos, too, in the story of Bancroft and Loo Conklin.’ =The Review of Reviews.=—‘There is a force and a charm, a vividness and an originality about these tales which give them a high, if not the highest, place in the literature of that kind which has been produced in the last few years, Not only is there a genius in the presentation of the human types which are described, but they display a closeness of observation and a keenness of insight into the heart of things which only those who have studied western civilisation in the making can appreciate.’ =The Westminster Gazette.=—‘The stories are masterpieces. They grip like life. And they live with one after, as living realities.’ =The Sketch.=—‘There is good workmanship in Mr. Harris’s volume, shows not merely in the vigorous story-telling. The inner idea in the tales is carefully wrought, and it will find a response among all readers who love sincerity.’
