"Mr. Heinemann’s forthcoming series of new novels at net prices, in one or two volumes each, according to length, is an experiment that will be watched with considerable interest. It was time that something was done to remove the inequalities which have long existed in the value of six-shilling fiction. The novel which is obviously short measure, however neatly it may be disguised to look like a full-length tale, ought not to cost so much as a story, say, by William de Morgan, whose generous measure gives two or three times the quantity of the shorter book. The publisher’s idea, therefore, is to produce this series of novels at two shillings net and three shillings net each, according to length, and in the case of the longer stories to issue them in two volumes. This is somewhat on the lines of the Tauchnitz Library, familiar to every Englishman abroad, except that the new series will be bound in cloth instead of paper. Thus Mr. Hall Caine’s latest novel, ’The White Prophet,’ with which the series is to be inaugurated next month, is to fill two volumes at two shillings net each. Mr. Robert Hichens’ new novel will be also in two volumes, while single volumes by Mr. Philip Gibbs and others who are represented among the later authors, will each be issued at three shillings net. Mr. de Morgan’s new tale, ’It Never Can Happen Again,’ like its predecessor, is of great length, filling two plump volumes; but none of his admirers will grudge the six shillings net which will be charged for them. Altogether, the scheme seems to be both just and feasible."—_The Daily Graphic_. LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C.
