_Daily Chronicle_—“The story is at once original, impossible,
artificial, and very amusing. Go, get the work and read.”
=TRIAL BY MARRIAGE.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_World_—“One can confidently promise the reader of this
skilfully treated and unconventional novel that he will not find
a page of it dull. It is one that will be not only read but
remembered.”

BY MRS. JOHN LANE.
=KITWYK.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
A Story with numerous illustrations by Howard Pyle, Albert Sterner and
George Wharton Edwards.
_Times_—“Mrs. Lane has succeeded to admiration, and chiefly by
reason of being so much interested in her theme that she makes
no conscious effort to please. . . . Everyone who seeks to be
diverted will read ‘Kitwyk’ for its obvious qualities of
entertainment.”
=THE CHAMPAGNE STANDARD.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Morning Post_—“The author’s champagne overflows with witty
sayings too numerous to cite.”
_Pall Mall Gazette_—“Mrs. Lane’s papers on our social manners
and foibles are the most entertaining, the kindest and the
truest that have been offered us for a long time. . . . The book
shows an airy philosophy that will render it of service to the
social student.”
=BALTHASAR AND OTHER STORIES.= Crown 8vo. 6/- Translated by
Mrs. John Lane from the French of Anatole France
_Daily Graphic_—“The original charm and distinction of the
author’s style has survived the difficult ordeal of appearing in
another language. . . . ‘The Cure’s Mignonette’ is as perfect in
itself as some little delicate flower.”
=ACCORDING TO MARIA.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Daily Telegraph_—“A more entertaining, companionable,
good-natured, and yet critical piece of portraiture we have not
had the good luck to encounter these many seasons. . . .
‘According to Maria’ is as fresh, amusing, and human a book as
any man, woman, or girl could desire to bewitch a jaded moment,
or drive away a fit of the dumps.”
_Daily Chronicle_—“This delightful novel, sparkling with
humour. . . . Maria’s world is real. . . . Thackeray might have
made such sheaves if he had been a woman.”
=TALK O’ THE TOWN.= Crown 8vo. 6/-

BY RICHARD LE GALLIENNE.
=THE BOOK BILLS OF NARCISSUS.= Crown 8vo. 3/6 net
Second Edition.
C. di B. (Mr. Bernard Shaw) _in the Star_—“If an unusually fine
literary instinct could make it a solid book, Mr. le Gallienne
would be at no loss for an enduring reputation . . . Nothing
could be prettier than his pleas and persuasions on behalf of
Narcissus and George Muncaster.”
=THE WORSHIPPER OF THE IMAGE.= Crown 8vo. 3/6
_Daily Chronicle_—“Contains passages of a poignancy which Mr.
Le Gallienne has never before compassed.”
