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."
