“By George Meredith! Those three words have a welcome sound for reviewers.”--_Literary World._ “We have said enough to show that Mr. Meredith’s plot is excellently conceived and excellently carried out.”--_Standard._ “Most novels are merely dramas with padded stage directions. Mr. Meredith’s, everybody knows, are otherwise. His novels are always human life....”--_The Star._ “Wholly delightful.”--_Black and White._ “This is a book in which, to use Mr. Meredith’s own expression, you jump to his meaning.”--_Westminster Gazette._ “The book is full of wise, deep, and brilliant things.”--_Scotsman._ “This latest example of Mr. Meredith’s quality is marked by observation, wit, and variegated fancy enough to deck out a gross of novels of the average sort.”--_Morning Post._ ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 2 WHITEHALL GARDENS WESTMINSTER * * * * * London City Churches BY A. E. DANIELL WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BY LEONARD MARTIN WITH A MAP SHOWING THE POSITION OF EACH CHURCH _Imperial 16mo, 6s._ The intention of this book is to present to the public a concise account of each of the churches of the City of London. If any reader should be induced to explore for himself these very interesting, but little known buildings, wherein he cannot fail to find ample to reward him for his pains, the object of the writer will have been attained. This volume is profusely illustrated from drawings specially made by Mr. Leonard Martin, and from photographs which have been prepared expressly for this work. “The author of this book knows the City churches one and all, and has studied their monuments and archives with the patient reverence of the true antiquary, and, armed with the pen instead of the chisel, he has done his best to give permanent record to their claims on the nation, as well as on the man in the street.”--_Leeds Mercury._ “His interesting text is accompanied by numerous illustrations, many of them full-page, and altogether his book is one which has every claim to a warm welcome from those who have a taste for ecclesiastical archæology.”--_Glasgow Herald._ “This is an interesting and descriptive account of the various churches still extant in London, and is illustrated by several excellent photographs.... His work will be of value to the antiquarian, and of interest to the casual observer.”--_Western Morning News._ “Mr. Daniell’s work will prove very interesting reading, as he has evidently taken great care in obtaining all the facts concerning the City churches, their history and associations.”--_London._ “The illustrations to this book are good, and it deserves to be widely read.”--_Morning Post._ ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 2 WHITEHALL GARDENS WESTMINSTER * * * * * _Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d._ The Shoulder of Shasta BY BRAM STOKER
