_Times_.--"Mr. Neil Lyons writes as the friend and observer of the new army.... Mr. Lyons ... is a master of cockney humour.... As to nearly everything that Mr. Lyons' 'cockneys' say we have an instinctive feeling that it is exactly right." _Morning Post_.--"It is, on the one side, an antidote to the sentimental and mawkish, and on another a supplement to what may be called the purely professional soldier tale. It should be widely read." _Outlook_.--"A writer who in such times as these sets out to make us laugh--and succeeds in his amiable intent--deserves praise." _Sunday Times_.--"Here you will say is the very man to take down the talk of the humbler members of Lord Kitchener's Armies, and you will be right. You will laugh heartily over ... 'Kitchener Chaps.'" _Evening Standard_.--"These stories are excellently conceived and artistically executed. There is no sense of anti-climax about them ... for side-shaking merriment the veracious history of 'Private Blood' will not soon be forgotten." _Daily Express_.--"Mr. Neil Lyons' sketches of the recruits in the new army are splendid humorous and human pen pictures, almost the first genuine literature that the war has produced." _Tatler_.--"And when you have finished it and read many of the sketches a second time, as you will want to do, send it anywhere, where there is a soldier." Arthur's. The Romance of a Coffee Stall Crown 8vo, Cloth, 1s net; also Library Edition, Crown 8vo, 6s. _Press Opinions_ _Times_.--"Very pretty comedy ... not only a very entertaining and amusing work, but a very kindly and tolerant work also. At the back of it is understanding and love of life, and that most admirable frame of mind for an artist, the live-and-let-live temperament." _Morning Post_.--"An outspoken and withal a kindly work, allowing a power of clear observation, and an interesting and unusual milieu in which to display it." _Manchester Guardian_.--"'Arthur's' can cordially be recommended.... Mr. Lyons seems to have the animating gift as well as the seeing eye, and a kindly humour in selection and treatment brings out the light and warmth of the stall rather than its flare and smell." _Daily Chronicle_.--"Arthur and his cronies will live among the Londoners of fiction beside the bargees of Mr. Jacobs and the inmates of 'No. 5 John Street.'" Sixpenny Pieces Third Edition, Crown 8vo, 6s. _Press Opinions_ _Evening Standard_.--"'Sixpenny Pieces' is as good as 'Arthur's.' ... For a book full of laughter and tears and bits innumerable that one feels impelled to read aloud, 'Sixpenny Pieces' would be very hard indeed to beat." _Standard_.--"It is a book that no one can afford to neglect. Both as literature and as life its appeal is irresistible." _Morning Post_.--"Mr. Neil Lyons is a shrewd, penetrating, and sympathetic observer of the lives of the poor. Two of the most delightful characters we have met in fiction."
