JOHN LANE'S NEW BOOKS

EIGHTH THOUSAND IN PRESS

STEPHEN PHILLIPS' NEW VOLUME

PAOLO and FRANCESCA

Uniform with "Poems,” (Fifth Edition, $1.50;) 12m0, cloth, gilt top, $1.25 SOME PRESS OPINIONS

NEW YORK TIMES (Jan'y 13, 1900).-"Nothing finer has come to us from an English pen in the way of a poetic and literary play than this since the appearance of Taylor's Philip Van Artevelde.'

[ocr errors]

OUTLOOK (Dec. 30, '99).—“A beautiful piece of literature, disclosing the finest imagination, the most delicate instinct, and the most sincere art. It is too early to say that it is great, but it is not too soon to affirm that nothing so promising has come from the hand of an English or American poet of late years."

INDEPENDENT (Jan. 4, 1900).—" The 'play is a powerful one, and Mr. Phillips maintains in it his wonderful pitch of style, which was so striking in his earlier poems.'

[ocr errors]

BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE (Dec. 30, '99).—“It is not too much to say that 'Paolo and Francesca' is the most important example of English dramatic poetry that has appeared since Browning died. . . . In Stephen Phillips we have a man who will prove that the finest achievements of English poetry are a continuing possession, and not solely a noble inheritance."

PHILADELPHIA PRESS (Jan. 7, 1900).—"Paolo and Francesca' has beauty, passion, and power. The poem deserves a wide reading on account of its intrinsic merit and interest."

CHICAGO EVENING post (Jan. 6, 1900).—"The reader may turn to 'Paolo and Francesca' with the assurance of passing an hour of the highest possible pleasure. . . . One of the most exalted histories of human passion and human frailty has received a fitting frame of verse. . . . It is certain that his first act only would suffice, in his facility of language, vigor of thought, intensity of emotion, conception of dramatic possibilities, and all that goes to make the drama great, to give the author a settled place among the best of the younger men."

---Successful London Novels--

THE REALIST. By Herbert Flowerdew. $1.50

THE PALL MALL GAZETTE (Dec. 11,'99). -"Those who love a story which will hold their attention closely from the first page to the last need go no further than 'The Realist.'"

THE JUDGMENT OF HELEN. By Thomas Cobb. $1.50

LITERATURE (Dec. 23, '99).—" A very entertaining and well-written book."

ONE QUEEN TRIUMPHANT. By Frank Mathew. $1.50 THE SPECTATOR (Jan. 6, 1900).—" A very spirited and ingenious novel."

THE MAN'S CAUSE. By Ella Napier Lefroy. $1.50

N. Y. SUN (Jan. 6, 1900).—" A strong, earnestly written narrative, in which the author deals in an interesting way with some of the essential things in the lives of men and women."
