_Daily News._--“Waiting is full of charming sketches of Irish
character, a real tenderness for Irish religion, and a keen sense
of the difference between clericalism and Catholicism.”
_Daily Mail._--“The power and quiet beauty of Mr. O’Donovan’s
Father Ralph are more than sustained in his new novel.”
FATHER RALPH.
By GERALD O’DONOVAN. Extra crown 8vo. 6_s._
_Times._--“Written in deadly earnest and with extraordinarily
intimate knowledge.... A marvellous picture of Irish life on the
religious side, in all its phases and varieties.”
_Daily Chronicle._--“In several respects one of the most important
novels published in these days.”
_Westminster Gazette._--“A clearly conceived and intensely
interesting novel.... _Father Ralph_ is indeed an impressive work.”
_Daily News._--“It takes both courage and conviction to write a
novel like this. It takes also a burden of experience to write it
so well.”
_Pall Mall Gazette._--“A book of absorbing and poignant interest.”
THE WORLD SET FREE: A STORY OF MANKIND.
By H. G. WELLS. Extra crown 8vo. 6_s._
_Daily Mail._--“With a vigour and audacity of imagination which
no other writer of our day can equal, Mr. H. G. Wells has
described what the world will be like in the middle of the present
century.... A book which must make a very great impression.”
_Daily News._--“It is as startling as anything Mr. Wells has ever
written. It contains one of the most sensational chapters in the
literature of anticipation.”
_Times._--“Once more, with his brilliant imagination, Mr. Wells
has projected the possibilities of a scientific development down
through society at large to the individual, and never has he done
so more convincingly or with greater ingenuity.”
BENDISH: A STUDY IN PRODIGALITY.
By MAURICE HEWLETT. Extra crown 8vo. 6_s._
_Daily Chronicle._--“This novel is one of Mr. Hewlett’s finest....
One must confess that English fiction is as great now as ever it
was. One swells with pride to think that modern men can write so
well.”
_Morning Post._--“The novel is full of fascination and interest.”
_World._--“Considered as a work of deliberate, delicate, highly
finished art, Mr. Maurice Hewlett has probably done nothing better
than this his latest book.”
_Guardian._--“A powerful piece of work well told.”
Three Books by James Stephens
HERE ARE LADIES.
Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.
_Daily Chronicle._--“Work admirably representative of the writer’s
genius. The subtle and humorous criticism of life, the deep yet
simple philosophy wrought into apothegms after the manner of Blake
and Lavater, which added such lustre to _The Crock of Gold_.”
