"A book as sound, as sweet, as wholesome, as wise, as any in the range of fiction."--_The Nation._ IT NEVER CAN HAPPEN AGAIN A story of the great love of Blind Jim and his little daughter, and of the affairs of a successful novelist. "De Morgan at his very best, and how much better his best is than the work of any novelist of the past thirty years."--_The Independent._ AN AFFAIR OF DISHONOR A very dramatic novel of Restoration days. "A marvelous example of Mr. De Morgan's inexhaustible fecundity of invention.... Shines as a romance quite as much as 'Joseph Vance' does among realistic novels."--_Chicago Record-Herald._ A LIKELY STORY "Begins comfortably enough with a little domestic quarrel in a studio.... The story shifts suddenly, however, to a brilliantly told tragedy of the Italian Renaissance embodied in a girl's portrait.... The many readers who like Mr. De Morgan will enjoy this charming fancy greatly."--_New York Sun._ _A Likely Story, $1.35 net; the others, $1.75 each._ WHEN GHOST MEETS GHOST The most "De Morganish" of all his stories. The scene is England in the fifties. _862 pages. $1.60 net._ * * * * * .*. A thirty-two page illustrated leaflet about Mr. De Morgan, with complete reviews of his first four books, sent on request.
