THE LAND OF COCKAYNE
By MATILDE SERAO
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Pall Mall Gazette.—'It is long since we have read, and indeed re-read, any book of modern fiction with so absorbing an interest as The Land of Cockayne, the latest book by Matilde Serao (Heinemann), and surely as fine a piece of work as the genius of this writer has yet accomplished. It is splendid! The character-drawing is subtle and convincing; every touch tells. Such books as The Land of Cockayne are epoch-making, voices that cry aloud in the wilderness of modern "literature," and will be heard while others only cackle.'
THE SCOURGE-STICK
By Mrs. CAMPBELL PRAED
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Observer.—' Not only is The Scourge-Stick the best novel that Mrs. Praed has yet written, but it is one that will long occupy a prominent place in the literature of the age.'
The Illustrated London News.—'A singularly powerful study of a woman who fails in everything, only to rise on stepping-stones to higher things. A succession of strong, natural, and exciting situations.'
Black and White.—'A notable book which must be admitted by all to have real power, and that most intangible quality—fascination.'
IN HASTE AND AT LEISURE
By E. LYNN LINTON
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Literary World.—'Whatever its exaggerations may be, In Haste and at Leisure remains a notable achievement. It has given us pleasure, and we can recommend it with confidence.'
The World.—'It is clever, and well written.'
The Graphic.—'It is thoroughly interesting, and it is full of passages that almost irresistibly tempt quotation.'
The St. James's Gazette.—'It is a novel that ought to be, and will be, widely read and enjoyed.'
NUDE SOULS
By BENJAMIN SWIFT
In One Volume, price 6s.
Mr. W. L. Courtney in the 'Daily Telegraph.'—'Any one who is so obviously sincere as Mr. Benjamin Swift is an author who must be reckoned with. The story is very vivid, very poignant, very fascinating.'
The World.—'Mr. Benjamin Swift was a bold man when he called his new story Nude Souls. There is a self-assertion about this title which only success could justify. Let it be said at once that the author has succeeded. He lays absolutely bare before the reader the souls of a striking company of men and women. There is that about the book which makes the reader loth to put it down, loth to come to the end—comprehension of human nature, and relentless power of expression.'
