THE TIMES: A Comedy in Four Acts. With a Preface by the Author.
(Vol. I.)
_Daily Telegraph._--“‘The Times’ is the best example yet given
of Mr. Pinero’s power as a satirist. So clever is his work that it
beats down opposition. So fascinating is his style that we cannot
help listening to him.”
_Morning Post._--“Mr. Pinero’s latest belongs to a high order of
dramatic literature, and the piece will be witnessed again with
all the greater zest after the perusal of such admirable dialogue.”

THE PRINCESSE MALEINE: A Drama in Five Acts (Translated by
Gerard Harry), and THE INTRUDER: A Drama in One Act. By Maurice
Maeterlinck. With an Introduction by Hall Caine, and
a Portrait of the Author. Small 4to, cloth, 5_s._
_Athenæum._--“In the creation of the ‘atmosphere’ of the play
M. Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates
to us the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else
has done. In ‘The Intruder’ the art consists of the subtle
gradations of terror, the slow, creeping progress of the
nightmare of apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done
before--not even by Poe--not even by Villiers.”
