DETROIT FREE PRESS: "A publication that the up-to-date art lover cannot do without." THE SKETCH (London): "It would not be easy to have another art publication so distinguished for so many and so variously delightful qualities." WASHINGTON TIMES: "This is the most beautiful of all magazines in pictorial embellishment and the extrinsics of superb book-making." LA DÉPÊCHE DE TOULOUSE: "Le Studio compte à peine cinq années d'existence, mais ce temps lui a suffi pour opérer une revolution véritable dans la presse artistique." TROY TIMES: "Has become famous for the beauty of its illustrations. It is simply invaluable." L'ART MODERNE: "Bien écrite, bien éditée, d'un artistique aspect dans sa robe vert olive, le Studio est sans contredit la plus neuve et la plus originale revue d'art illustrée qu'on puisse signaler ... nulle autre revue d'art ne lui est comparable, ni en Angleterre ni surtout sur le continent." John Lane 67 Fifth Ave. New York THE COLUMN By CHARLES MARRIOTT FIFTEENTH THOUSAND. $1.50 _OPINIONS BY GREAT CRITICS_ =Senator John M. Thurston=: "I have read no book of modern times which so completely demanded my undivided attention from the beginning to the end as 'The Column,' by Charles Marriott. It is a striking and, as it seems to me, a faithful delineation of the strongest yet most natural characters. The language is chaste and refined, the dramatic interest intense, the plot powerful, and the whole work cleanly and brilliantly intellectual. It is sure to take high rank in the literature of the day." =Mr. Julian Hawthorne=: "Marriott, taken as an alternative after other literary forms, is deeply welcome and full of wholesome succulence. He paces up and down, as it were, in a hall where all is harmonious and proudly beautiful, even fastidious.... It is a book full of repose, even in its passion; and it is everywhere rich in beauty.... Mr. Marriott comes among us a stranger and an alien; but he is welcome, for he brings with him a beauty which lifts and purifies the mind." =Mr. Bliss Carman=: "In this book a new writer of English fiction has arisen and arrived, another signal success been added to contemporary literature.... Here is 'The Column' with genius writ clear on every page.... A fine book, a piece of art for which to be gladly thankful." =Mr. W. L. Courtney= (London Daily Telegraph): "Whoever Charles Marriott may be ... he has written a very remarkable novel.... The heroine is of a rare and original type.... A book very fresh, very original, very interesting, and very suggestive. He has handled situations and problems in the true spirit of an artist." =The London Standard=:
