"Zillah" is also a novel with a purpose--in fact--with two purposes. Its first purpose is to tell a thoroughly interesting story in a thoroughly interesting way, and in that it certainly succeeds. Its second purpose is to deal fairly but fearlessly with certain theories about the After Life and the Spirit World which are just now very much agitating the minds of religious thinkers. Every one interested in Clairvoyance, Hypnotism and Spiritualism, should read this strikingly just but fearlessly outspoken novel. "The drawing of some of the characters indicates the possession by Mr Hocking of a considerable gift of humour. The contents of his book indicate that he takes a genuine interest in the deeper problems of the day."--Spectator. THE MONK OF MAR-SABA. With Frontispiece and Vignette by WALTER S. STACEY. A very beautiful and human story, the scene of which is laid in the Holy Land, which Mr. HOCKING visited personally before writing the tale. "Great power and thrilling interest.... The scenery of the Holy Land has rarely been so vividly described as in this charming book of Mr Hocking's."--Star. "The author has turned his visit to Palestine to good account.... His descriptions of the wild scenery of different parts of the Holy Land are both vigorous and graphic, and the stories themselves are interesting."--Manchester Guardian. "Powerfully written."--Daily Telegraph. "Mr. Hocking has undoubtedly the power of telling a stirring incident well, and he gives one the impression of being pervaded by moral earnestness."--Spectator. LONDON: WARD, LOCK & CO., LIMITED.
