“‘The God in the Car’ is just as clever, just as distinguished in
style, just as full of wit, and of what nowadays some persons like
better than wit--allusiveness--as any of his stories. It is
saturated with the modern atmosphere; is not only a very clever but
a very strong story; in some respects, we think, the strongest Mr.
Hope has yet written.”--_London Speaker._
“A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered,
but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom
fine literary method is a keen pleasure.”--_London World._
“The book is a brilliant one.... ‘The God in the Car’ is one of the
most remarkable works in a year that has given us the handiwork of
nearly all our best living novelists.”--_London Standard._

SOME LEADING FICTION.
_THE GODS, SOME MORTALS, AND LORD WICKENHAM._ By JOHN OLIVER
HOBBES. With Portrait. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“One of the most refreshing novels of the period, full of grace, spirit,
force, feeling, and literary charm.”--_Chicago Evening Post._
“Here is the sweetness of a live love story.... It is to be reckoned
among the brilliants as a novel.”--_Boston Courier._
“Mrs. Craigie has taken her place among the novelists of the day. It is
a high place and a place apart. Her method is her own, and she stands
not exactly on the threshold of a great career, but already within the
temple of fame.”--_G. W. Smalley, in the Tribune._
_MAELCHO._ By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS, author of “Grania,”
“Hurrish,” etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“A paradox of literary genius. It is not a history, and yet it has more
of the stuff of history in it, more of the true national character and
fate, than any historical monograph we know. It is not a novel, and yet
it fascinates us more than any novel.”--_London Spectator._
“Abounds in thrilling incidents.... Above and beyond all, the book
charms by reason of the breadth of view, the magnanimity, and the
tenderness which animate the author.”--_London Athenæum._
_AN IMAGINATIVE MAN._ By ROBERT S. HICHENS, author of “The Folly of
Eustace,” “The Green Carnation,” etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
“A study in character.... Just as entertaining as though it were the
conventional story of love and marriage. The clever hand of the author
of ‘The Green Carnation’ is easily detected in the caustic wit and
pointed epigram.”--_Jeannette L. Gilder, in the New York World._
_CORRUPTION._ By PERCY WHITE, author of “Mr. Bailey-Martin,” etc.
12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
“A drama of biting intensity. A tragedy of inflexible purpose and
relentless result.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
