EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES ON No. 4 OF “THE SAVOY.”
“I begin to believe that ‘The Savoy’ has a future. . . . The Savoyards have taken seriously to literature, Mr. Symons alone keeping steadily to his old manner. Altogether, this is an issue whose promoters need have no fear of criticism. This time, at any rate, it has gone ahead of its rival, the ‘Yellow Book .’”—Weekly Sun.
“All praise is due to the initiator of this very original magazine, which attempts to provide in England a journal which shall only contain what is admirable and what is beautiful. Very charming and restrained, too, is the lithograph, ‘The Novel,’ by Mr. T. R. Way; the wood-engraving, after Mr. Charles Conder’s design for a frontispiece to Balzac’s ‘La Fille aux Yeux d’Or,’ is admirable. In the literary contents of the number there is an abundance of good things. To name the writers merely would be sufficient guarantee that such was the case, but the interest of the subjects with which they deal, too, has to be considered.”—Birmingham Gazette.

“To many Mr. Symons may appear a mystic and a dreamer, to us he is a modern minstrel, a troubadour of the times, with a subtly sweet note of song, which has a cadence and a lilt that linger in the memory like the flash of a fountain in the Temple on the one hand, or the distant murmur of a mountain stream on the other .”—The Newsagent.

“Mr. Douglas has produced a volume every line of which I read with keen interest. It is a singularly vivid and life-like picture of what life in the old French Court was like; and the portrait of the central figuie of the book is very clear and very telling.”— Mr. T. P. O’Connor in the Weekly Sun.
“At a time when the book-market is flooded with translations of forgotten and apocryphal French Memoirs, it is something to meet with a newly-published biography of a French celebrity which is what it pretends to be . . . . and is a book of fascinating interest .”—Daily News.

In one volume, Crown 8vo, bound in art linen, price Six Shillings.
“One of the wittiest, one of the queerest, . . . . and one of the most amusing novels. Father Greenwood is a noble study of the religious character.”— Morning.
“Basil Thimm’s adventures are narrated in a way which is often exceedingly vivid and interesting.”— Glasgow Herald.
“Mr. Connell has already shown a singular liking for the seamy side of life, and unusual power in dealing with it. ‘The Fool and his Heart’ has all the merits of his earlier work. There is the same vigorous and trenchant style, the same grim humour, and the same grasp of a few not very pleasing types of human nature. . . . A feature of the story is the use that Mr. Connell makes of Catholicism. . . . Full of incident and graphic touches. It should add to Mr. Connell’s reputation.”— Scotsman.

![The image is in portrait orientation. The image is an advertisement for Paul Naumann’s services and shows four boxes of textual publishing information with a floral design behind the boxes. At the bottom edge of the page are the roots of the flowers that extend up to the top edge. There are three roots based at the bottom edge. The roots are evenly spaced out across the width of the page. The roots appear as curled horizontal lines cut through in the middle with straight vertical lines. The roots and flower stalks are all dark coloured. Around the roots at the bottom edge is a looping piece of vine that looks like rope. The vines then extend up vertically and wrap around the two exterior flowers all the way up the page. There is a bunch of berries in the middle two spaces between the flower stalks. Slightly up the page from the bottom edge is a long rectangular text box. In the single-edge box is the text: “Designer, Engraver on Wood & Photozincographer, &c.” The text is italicized and black on a white background. Above the box in the background is the flower stalks and vines, with two branches of leaves extending out horizontally. Slightly above and only on the right half of the page is another text box. This box is tall and rectangular, with a double-edged border. The box contains the text: “Paintings, Drawings, // Photographs, etc., // Reproduced by either Wood Engraving, // HALF-TONE, [caps] or LINE PROCESS. [caps] // Manuscripts, Catalogues, // ETC., ETC., // Illustrated throughout by the best // ARTISTS. [caps] // Artistic Printing // A SPECIALTY. [caps] // ARTISTS [caps] are invited to send Drawings, // etc., as, owing to large connection with // Publishers and Art Editors, we have great // facilities for disposing of Drawings or // Copyright of same.” Just above this text box is where the flowers bloom out from their stalks. The three flowers from the dark roots are dark ovals of leaves with four white daffodil flowers evenly populated. The two flowers from the vines are light and the petals are patterned dark and light in repetitive order. The centre dark flower and two vine flowers are in line just below the next text box, and the two outer edge dark flowers rise up higher on either side of the text box. The text box says: “P. Naumann.”. This is written in the largest and boldest text on the page, with a double-edged border around it. There is one more text box above it and this one says: “65, 69 & 71. Pentonville Road N.”. The box is bordered with a single line. Two more leaf branches extend out horizontally in the background of these two highest text boxes. Behind all the flowers and vines is a stippled background. There is no border around the image.](https://1890s.ca/wp-content/uploads/SAVOYV5_icon10_art_ad.jpg "SAVOYV5_icon10_art_ad")
