"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
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."
Dial: "A full-length study of the poetic temperament, framed in a varied and curiously interesting environment, and drawn with a firmness of hand that excites one's admiration. . . . Moreover, a real distinction of style, besides being of absorbing interest from cover to cover."
Catholic Mirror: "One of the noblest, most inspiring and absorbing books we have read in years."
Owen Seaman in Punch (London): "I find her book the most remarkable that I have read for many years."
The Diary of a Musician
Edited by DOLORES M. BACON
With decorations and illustrations by Charles Edward Hooper and H. Latimer Brown
$1.50
Authorities agree that no particular musical celebrity is
described or satirized; all review the book with enthusiasm,
though some damn while others praise.
Times Review: "Of extraordinary interest as a study from the inside
of the inwardness of a genius."
Bookman: "Much of that exquisite egotism, the huge, artistic Me and the tiny universe, that gluttony of the emotions, of the whole peculiar compound of hysteria, inspiration, vanity, insight and fidgets, which goes to make up that delightful but somewhat rickety thing which we call the artistic temperament is reproduced. . . . The 'Diary of a Musician' does what most actual diaries fail to do—writes down a man in full."
