Pall Mall Gazette.--“The story is as effective a piece of work as could be desired.... Mr. Thorne is always reverent, and is touched with the dignity of the amazing scenes which he has invented.... We welcome his book as a real achievement in a very difficult line.” Dally News.--“A remarkable book.... The picture of typical clergy, a Cabinet Minister with religious enthusiasm, and the millionaire, his great opponent, are all finely conceived and finely delineated; while the coming disaster, which casts its shadow before, is skilfully adumbrated.” Out of the Past. Stories of the Ancient East by H. GEO. F. SPURRELL. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. Athenæum.--“The stories--three in number--are concerned with the horrors and splendours of the mighty monarchies which shared, in ancient days, the dominion of the East, pre-Roman and pre-Mohammedan. It must be said he (Mr. Spurrell) has painted a bold picture in lurid colours; like the art of Assyria, its bulls and lions, it is splendid and impressive.” British Weekly.--“‘Out of the Past’ takes us into the changeless East. The Author wears a magic veil, he sleeps and awakes with wondrous Oriental romances in his brain. They are wild and full of terrors, but they are fruits of a brisk imagination.” Mary of Magdala. By EDGAR SALTUS (Author of “Mr. Incoul’s’ Misadventure,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. The Steeple. A Novel by REGINALD TURNER (Author of “The Comedy of Progress,” and “Cynthia’s Damages.”) Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. The Times.--“Few readers who take it up will readily lay it down.... Mr. Turner is successful, and his sketches of men, women, and creeds are, generally speaking, humorous, shrewd, and suggestive.” Observer.--“A very well told story; the characters are drawn with much freshness and clearness of delineation.... Bright and lively without being flippant. Mr. Turner’s story is decidedly entertaining and well written, and will probably be popular.” Outlook.--“A purposeful story altogether out of the common ruck. It is both daring and convincing. The portrait of Frank Lester is surely as coolly relentless a thing as has been done for a long time.... It is excellently and pitilessly done.... We would quote some contingent excellencies. The chief, perhaps, is Mr. Turner’s dash in carrying off an extravagant situation.... His, also, is the gift of broad, almost farcial characterisation. And to these must be added a brisk turn in narrative, of which scarce a page lacks shining example.” The Day of Prosperity. A vision of the century to come, by PAUL DEVINNE. Crown 8vo, cloth 6s. Daily Telegraph.--“It is a clever story, with some strikingly novel views on political and social economy, and contains much genuine reflection and foresight.” The Adventures of Mr. Topham: Comedian. By C. RANGER-GULL (Author of “The Hypocrite,” “Back to Lilac Land,” “The Serf,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. Illustrated by Frank Reynolds.
