THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS
A story remarkable for its power, remarkable for its originality,
and remarkable for its success. The unique masterpiece of an
unfortunate young author, who died without knowing the unstinted
praise his work was to receive. The book portrays with striking
realism a phase of Scottish life and character new to most
novel-readers. John Gourlay, the chief personage in the drama,
inhabitant of the "House With the Green Shutters" and master of the
village destinies, looms up as the personification of the brute
force that dominates. He stands apart from all characters in
fiction. In the broad treatment and the relentless sweep of its
tragedy, the book suggests the work of Dumas.
"If a more powerful story than this has been written in recent
years we have not seen it. It must take first honors among the
novels of the day."--_Philadelphia Item_.
"One of the most powerful books we have seen for a long time, and
it marks the advent of a valuable writer."--_New York Press_.

"A LAD OF THE O'FRIEL'S"
This is a story of Donegal ways and customs; full of the spirit of
Irish life. The main character is a dreaming and poetic boy who
takes joy in all the stories and superstitions of his people, and
his experience and life are thus made to reflect all the essential
qualities of the life of his country. Many characters in the book
will make warm places for themselves in the heart of the reader.

THE SQUIREEN
Mr. Bullock takes us into the North of Ireland among
North-of-Ireland people. His story is dominated by one remarkable
character, whose progress towards the subjugation of his own
temperament we cannot help but watch with interest. He is swept
from one thing to another, first by his dare-devil, roistering
spirit, then by his mood of deep repentance, through love and
marriage, through quarrels and separation from his wife, to a
reconciliation at the point of death, to a return to health, and
through the domination of the devil in him, finally to death. It
is a strong, convincing novel suggesting, somewhat, "The House with
the Green Shutters." What that book did for the Scotland of Ian
Maclaren and Barrie, "The Squireen" will do for Ireland.
