_N. Y. Evening Post_: “The story is brisk, buoyant and entertaining.”
_Bookman_: “Sparkling in fun, clean-cut and straightforward in style as
the young hero himself.”
Henry Holt and Company
New York Chicago
2d printing of “A novel in the better sense of a word much sinned
against.... It is decidedly a book worth while.”
The Transgression of Andrew Vane
By GUY WETMORE CARRYL
12mo. $1.50.
TIMES’ SATURDAY REVIEW:--“A strong and original story; ... the
descriptions of conditions in the American colony [in Paris]
are convincingly clever. The story from the prologue--one of
exceptional promise in point of interest--to the climax ... is
full of action and dramatic surprise.”
N. Y. TRIBUNE:--“The surprising developments we must leave the
reader to find out for himself. He will find it a pleasant
task; ... the surprise is not brought forward until precisely
the right moment, and one is carried from the first chapter to
the last with curiosity, and concern for the hero’s fate kept
well alive.”
N. Y. EVENING SUN:--“Everybody who likes clever fiction should
read it.”
LITERARY WORLD:--“The prologue is as skilful a handling of
a repellent theme as has ever been presented. The book is
distinctly not one for the young person, but neither is it for
the seeker after the risqué or the erotic.... In this novel are
poured into a consistent and satisfying whole more of those
vivid phases of Paris at which the author has shown himself a
master hand.”
CHICAGO EVENING POST:--“The reader stops with regret in his mind
that Guy Wetmore Carryl’s story-telling work is done.”
CHICAGO TRIBUNE:--“A brilliant piece of work.”
WASHINGTON STAR:--“A more engaging villain has seldom entered the
pages of modern fiction; ... sparkles with quotable epigrams.”
BUFFALO EXPRESS:--“The sort of a story which one is very apt to
read with interest from beginning to end. And, moreover, ...
very bright and clever.”
NEW HAVEN JOURNAL:--“By far the most ambitious work he undertook,
and likewise the most brilliant.”
Henry Holt and Company
_29 W. 23d St._ _NEW YORK_
“=From any point of view it is an unusual novel, as much better
than some of the ‘best sellers’ as a painting is better than a
chromo.=”--_World’s Work._

The Divine Fire
BY MAY SINCLAIR
$1.50
6th printing of _The story of a London poet_.
_Mary Moss in the Atlantic Monthly_: “Certain it is that in all our new
fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with ‘The Divine Fire,’
nothing even remotely approaching the same class.”
_New York Globe_: “The biggest surprise of the whole season’s fiction
... you never once stop to question its style, or its realism, or the
art of its construction. You simply read right on, deaf to everything
and everybody outside of the compelling magic of its pages.”
