Wells, H. G. (Herbert George)
Science fiction, English; Short stories, English
'Told with consummate art and extraordinary detail. He tells a plain,
unvarnished tale, and the very truth of it makes for beauty. In the
true humanity of the book lies its justification, the permanence of
its interest, and its indubitable triumph.'--_Athenaeum_.
'A great book. The author's method is amazingly effective, and
produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a
master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its
interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the
mark it is certain to make.'--_World_.
JULIAN CORBETT. A BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By JULIAN CORBETT, Author
of 'For God and Gold,' 'Kophetus XIIIth.,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
'There is plenty of incident and movement in this romance. It is
interesting as a novel framed in an historical setting, and it is
all the more worthy of attention from the lover of romance as
being absolutely free from the morbid, the frivolous, and the
ultra-sexual.'--_Athenaeum_.
'A stirring tale of naval adventure during the Great French War. The
book is full of picturesque and attractive characters.'--_Glasgow
Herald_.

Whose Bourne,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

humour.'--_Daily Chronicle_.

proud.'--_Pall Mall Gazette_.

The studies of character are carefully finished, and linger in the
memory.'--_Black and White_.
'Distinguished for kindly feeling, genuine humour, and really graphic
portraiture.'--_Sussex Daily News_.
'A delightful romance, with experiences strange and exciting. The
dialogue is always bright and witty; the scenes are depicted briefly
and effectively; and there is no incident from first to last that one
would wish to have omitted.'--_Scotsman_.
MRS. PINSENT. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD. By ELLEN F. PINSENT, Author of

human beings.'--_Daily News_.

gives ample promise of splendid work.'--_Birmingham Gazette_.
'Mrs. Pinsent's new novel has plenty of vigour, variety, and good

clearness of vision.'--_Athenaeum_.
