By MAY SINCLAIR

$1.50

The story of a London poet.

Boston Transcript: "It is rare indeed to come across a novel in which there is so much genuine greatness."

N. Y. Tribune, in notice of over a column: "We venture to count the hero already among the memorable figures in romance, a great character ... breathlessly interesting.... It ought to give May Sinclair at once high rank among the novelists of the day.... A novel which it is a pleasure to praise."

Nation: "The hero is extremely interesting."

N. Y. Times Review: "... The story is as well written as it is strongly conceived."

N. Y. Post: "Told cleverly and well, and always with a frankness that carries conviction. The humorous element is not lacking."

N. Y. Globe: "The biggest surprise of the whole season's fiction."

Chicago Evening Post: "If you wish to be interested, amused, tormented, discouraged and finally satisfied, you will do well to read it."

Providence Journal: "Rare artistic power...."

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."

Two Noteworthy Detective Stories by Burton E. Stevenson

The Marathon Mystery

With five scenes in color by Eliot Keen

4th printing. $1.50

This absorbing story of New York and Long Island to-day has been republished in England. Its conclusion is most astonishing.

N. Y. Sun: "Distinctly an interesting story—one of the sort that the reader will not lay down before he goes to bed."

N. Y. Post: "By comparison with the work of Anna Katharine Green ... it is exceptionally clever ... told interestingly and well."

N. Y. Tribune: "The Holladay Case was a capital story of crime and mystery. In The Marathon Mystery the author is in even firmer command of the trick. He is skillful in keeping his reader in suspense, and every element in it is cunningly adjusted to preserving the mystery inviolate until the end."

Boston Transcript: "The excellence of its style, Mr. Stevenson apparently knowing well the dramatic effect of fluency and brevity, and the rationality of avoiding false clues and attempts unduly to mystify his readers."

Boston Herald: "This is something more than an ordinary detective story. It thrills you and holds your attention to the end. But besides all this the characters are really well drawn and your interest in the plot is enhanced by interest in the people who play their parts therein."

Town and Country: "The mystery defies solution until the end. The final catastrophe is worked out in a highly dramatic manner."

The Holladay Case

With frontispiece by Eliot Keen

7th printing. $1.25

A tale of a modern mystery of New York and Etretat that has been republished in England and Germany.

N. Y. Tribune: "Professor Dicey recently said, 'If you like a detective story take care you read a good detective story.' This is a good detective story, and it is the better because the part of the hero is not filled by a member of the profession.... The reader will not want to put the book down until he has reached the last page. Most ingeniously constructed and well written into the bargain."

12mo. $1.50

The love story of a beautiful American and a gallant Englishman, who stoops to conquer.

Picturesque scenes in Provence, Spain and Italy pass before the reader's eyes in rapid succession.

Twenty printings of this novel have been called for.

Nation: "Such delightful people, and such delightful scenes.... It should be a good, practical guide to those about to go over the same course, while its charming descriptions of travel afford an ample new fund of pleasure, tinged with envy here and there to the stay-at-homes."

N. Y. Sun: "A pleasant and felicitous romance."

Springfield Republican: "Wholly new and decidedly entertaining."

N. Y. Evening Post: "The story is brisk, buoyant and entertaining."

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."
