No book of the present season has been so much praised--and so much reviled: reviled by most of the Party organs, praised by independent papers. And yet mark the agreement of the following, as wide asunder as the poles often in their views. "Embodies the silent thoughts of almost all thinking men of to-day."--_The Evening Times._ The _Star_ says:--"Says in plain English what everybody in touch with reality thinks." LORD ROBERT CECIL, in the _Morning Post_, says:--"So far the authors of 'The Party System' only say in plain terms what everyone who has been in Parliament knows to be in substance true." "A complete proof of the necessity of restoring power to the people."--_The Daily Express._ London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi GORDON AT KHARTOUM BY WILFRED SCAWEN BLUNT _15s. net_ _PRIVATE AND INTIMATE_ This book follows the lines of the author's works on Egypt and India, consisting mainly of a private diary of a very intimate kind, and will bring down his narrative of events to the end of 1885. The present volume is designed especially as an answer to Lord Cromer's _Modern Egypt_, in so far as it concerned Gordon, and contains several important and hitherto unpublished documents throwing new light upon a case of perennial interest. It also includes an account of the author's relations with Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Mr Gladstone, Mr Parnell, and other political personages of the day, as well as of the General Election of 1885, in which the author stood as a Tory Home Ruler. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK BY JUVENAL _Crown 8vo. 5s. net_ _VIVID ORIGINALITY_ In these notes and studies on life in New York, Juvenal, by his vivid originality and his masterly deductions, has surpassed all other writers who have written on the same subject. Mr Eden Phillpotts writes of the Author: "The things seen are brilliantly set down. He writes with great force and skill." London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi PRINCE AZREEL A Poem with Prose Notes BY ARTHUR LYNCH _Crown 8vo. 5s. net_ _DIRECT--INSPIRING--COMPELLING_ The cry for something new in literature, the indefinable, the unexpected, has been answered. Prince Azreel comes to claim his place, not as one who has sounded the depths and shoals of the current modes of the day, but as one entirely careless of these things, discoursing freely of life, easily throughout its whole purport and scope. The Devil comes into the action, but he also is new--rather the Spirit of the World, "man's elder brother." His methods are those neither of _Faust_ nor of _Paradise Regained_. His temptations are suasive, his lures less material.
