Pall Mall Gazette.--“A cleverly-written story of more than usual interest. Mr Turner has here something to say, and says it well. From the first page onward we ollow the career of Maurice Yorke with close interest, an interest which never flags, and the final chapter is in every way equal to the book’s earlier promise. There is nothing slipshod, no falling off. The author has given us sterling good work throughout. The characterisation of Lady Sothern is excellent--so human withal. ‘The Comedy of Progress’ is a brilliant novel, its title, by the way, fitting it like a glove.” Morning Post.--“Readers will be delighted with the ‘Comedy of Progress,’ by Reginald Turner. The story is told with skill and true artistic effect. Lady Sothern is an artistically drawn character, full of life and force. The charm and influence which she exercises over all who know her are quite convincingly expressed, and the scene with her husband when she confesses herself an old woman and stamps on her jewels is very ably done. Mr Turner may be sincerely congratulated on accomplishing a difficult task with more restraint and ability than one generally expects in such efforts.” The Steeple Bookman.--“A story of ar more than average merit, strongly imagined and developed with considerable craftsmanship.... Emphatically, this is a book to be read.” Illustrated London News.--“One reads with unflagging interest. The great merit lies in the very cool and effective demonstration of character, and especially of character that is off conventional lines. The psychology, perhaps, is not very deep, but in the plane on which it works is remarkably given. We have thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Steeple.’” Cynthia’s Damages Shefflied Telegraph.--“Mr Turner s style is bright and sparkling, and his powers of observation are evidently keen. Those who read ‘Cynthia’s Damages’ will, we are convinced, look forward with pleasure to another novel from the same pen.” The Dally Telegraph.--“A story in which wit, humour, farce, and sarcasm are admirably blended--an extravaganza brimful of fun, and showing considerable power in the management of dialogue, as well as in character-drawing. The author appears to be what the French call a _blagueur_, and treats the affair of stage-life and society with a polished and easy cynicism that evokes a smile and compels us to read on.... The story from beginning to end is sprightly and vivacious, contains many quaint touches of observation, and is altogether a readable book” NOW READY THE FORTY-SEVENTH THOUSAND OF The most daring and original novel of the century WHEN IT WAS DARK By GUY THORNE Author of “The Oven,” and part Author of “Sharks.” This book has been praised and recommended by THE DEAN OF BURHAM, THE BISHOP OF EXETER, and the Rev.
