_Athenœum._—“The story is not only of great human interest, but
also extremely valuable as a study of the conditions in which a
large section of the poorer classes and small tradespeople of
German cities spend their lives. Clara Viebig manipulates her
material with extraordinary vigour. . . . Her characters are
alive.”
_Daily Telegraph._—“Quite excellent.”

=A NEW MACHIAVELLI.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Mr. Robert Ross in Bystander._—“It may safely be prophesied
that 1911 is not likely to produce another literary sensation of
so permanent a kind. It is impossible to lay down ‘The New
Machiavelli’ for longer than a few moments. . . . The most
various novel that has appeared since ‘Vanity Fair.’ . . . A
great piece of literature.”
_The Times._—“The book is without doubt the most important
piece of work that Mr. Wells has yet given us. . . . The most
finished example of the form which the novel has gradually
arrived at in his hands. . . . Margaret, the betrayed and
deserted wife, is possibly, the most finely touched portrait
that Mr. Wells has drawn.”

=ELIZABETH’S CHILDREN.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Daily Telegraph._—“The book is charming . . . the author . . .
has a delicate fanciful touch, a charming imagination . . .
skilfully suggests character and moods . . . is bright and
witty, and writes about children with exquisite knowledge and
sympathy.”
=HELEN ALLISTON.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Pall Mall Gazette._—“The book has vivacity, fluency, colour,
more than a touch of poetry and passion. . . . We shall look
forward with interest to future work by the author of ‘Helen
Alliston.’”
=THE YOUNG O’BRIENS.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Saturday Review._—“Delightful . . . the author treats them
(the Young O’Briens) very skilfully.”
=PHYLLIS IN MIDDLEWYCH.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Daily Telegraph._—“The author of ‘Elizabeth’s Children’ has
really excelled herself in this volume of stories in which
Phyllis Cartwright figures. Phyllis, who is called a little
angel by her mother and a little devil by her father, has
certainly a double share of the power of moving people to wrath
or mirth.”

=THE GREATER INCLINATION.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Daily Telegraph._—“Teems with literary ability and dramatic
force.”
_Outlook._—“Miss Wharton writes with a sympathy, insight and
understanding that we have seldom seen equalled.”
