The MS. in a Red Box
Hamilton, John A. (John Arthur)
Axholme, Isle of (England) -- History -- Fiction
_Pall Mall Gazette_.--"It is pure, fast, sheer life, salted with a
sense of humour; and the reader is sure of being lured as cunningly
from sixpenny bit to sixpenny bit."
Cottage Pie
A Country Spread
Third Edition, Crown 8vo, 6s.
_Times_.--"Marked with the humour and grip with which Mr. Lyons
visualizes an episode, and by his remarkable power of transcribing the
talk of the less educated classes of the community."
Clara
Some Scattered Chapters in the Life of a Hussy
Crown 8vo, 6s.
_Pall Mall Gazette_.--"It is doubtful whether since Dickens anyone has
caught so exactly, and presented to us so artistically as Mr. Lyons,
the sharp shrewd wit and the rich though acrid humour of the London
gutter."
Simple Simon.
His Adventures in the Thistle Patch
With 8 Illustrations by G. E. Peto. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_Outlook_.--"A rollicking sense of fun, an almost unbearable
seriousness, a keen observation, a kind heart, and a genius entirely
his own are among Mr. Neil Lyons' assets for writing."

A Sussex Confection
Crown 8vo, 6s.

BY FORD MADOX HUEFFER
The Good Soldier
Crown 8vo, 6s.
_Press Opinions_
_Daily News and Leader_.--"And when one has come to the end of this
beautiful and moving story, it is worth while reading the book over
again simply to observe the wonders of its technique ... indeed this is
a much, much better book than any of us deserve."
_Observer_.--"So absorbing that one has the puerile itch to look at the
end.... There are not three people in England who could have told it,
or two who could have told it just that way."
_Globe_.--"This book is going to add enormously to Mr. Hueffer's
reputation as a novelist. It is ... an amazingly clever psychological
study ... it is a novel that is going to be read."
_Daily Telegraph_.--"There is the excellent writing, the play of
imagination, the delicate attention to character that holds the mind in
all his best work."
_Sunday Times_.--"Mr. Ford Madox Hueffer is a literary artist with a
big future before him ... it is extremely effective and magnificently
true."
_Outlook_.--"This novel ... is amazingly well written."
_Truth_.--"The story is told with such astonishing artfully artless
naturalness that it absorbs you from the first page to the last."
_Evening Standard_.--"It is ... among the very best he has turned out
yet ... of Mr. Ford Madox Hueffer's many new veins, this would seem one
of the richest."
