THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES A Sherlock Holmes Novel Illustrated by Sidney Paget ❦ _The London Chronicle_, in a review headed “THE ZENITH OF SHERLOCK HOLMES,” says: “We should like to pay Dr. Doyle the highest compliment at our command. It is not simply that this book is superior in originality and construction to the earlier adventures of the great detective. Dr. Doyle has provided a criminal who, as Mr. Holmes admits, is indeed a foeman worthy of his steel.[1] Hitherto he has found it comparatively easy to unmask his antagonists. But in the present case he finds himself checkmated again and again. There is pitted against him a skill nearly equal to his own, and he wins the game almost by a hair.” Footnote 1: “I tell you, Watson, this time we have a foeman who is worthy of our steel.”—_Sherlock Holmes._ $1.25 By Stewart Edward White THE BLAZED TRAIL ❦ A tale from beyond the bounds of civilization. The second in Mr. White’s series of thoroughly American stories. The inspiriting breath of the great pine woods is in this dramatic novel of frontier struggle in which a green “land looker” plays a lone hand against a powerful and unscrupulous land company for a vast tract of timber land. _Third Edition._ $1.50. * * * * * _By the same author_: THE WESTERNERS ❦ MR. WHITE shows us the rough-and-ready life of a Western mining camp. “’The Westerners’ lays strong hold on the reader. The thing is vital. There is a force and a sincerity distinctly Western—of the frontier; the grim naturalness of elemental things. Furthermore Mr. White knows his West, his plains, his Indians and his mining camps.” —_Chicago Record-Herald_. _Third Edition._ $1.50. By George Douglas THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS ❦ The first novel of a new master. The work has gained wide-spread recognition on both sides of the water. Three of the most conservative and authoritative publications in England include it among the first twelve of the year. In this country _Harper’s Weekly_ gives it as one of the two most interesting novels of the year. _The critics differ as to with what other master George Douglas should be compared_: _The London Times_ says: “Worthy of the hand that drew ‘Weir of Hermiston,’” and that “Balzac and Flaubert, had they been Scotch, would have written such a book.”
