    “Cleverly written. . . . The scenes between the Provost of Mintern and Cosmo Mortimer, especially
the opening scene on the railway, are extremely comical.”—The World.
    “A More fascinating story for boys, or for those who are not too old to remember their boyhood, has
rarely been written.”—Glasgow Herald.

and simple delight few modern books have beaten Mr. Davidson’s.”—Anti-Jacobin.
IN A MUSIC HALL, and other Poems. Crown 8vo, price 5s.
    “Poetically graceful and morally courageous.”—Glasgow Herald.

regal effort. . . . The book is full of good things of another kind, of poets’ good things, which are the best
to be had.”—The Star.
    “Mr. John Davidson can write nothing that is not clever. The imagination of the poet glows in
every page. . . . Full of enchantment and grace.”—The Speaker.

TWO NEW VOLUMES OF POEMS.
BALLADS AND SONGS. By JOHN DAVIDSON. Fcap. 8vo, buck-
ram, 5s. net. [This Edition now ready.
“They are thoroughly considered ; seen as solid wholes ; seen not only in front, but round at the
back. . . . Both the ‘Ballad in Blank Verse ‘ and the ‘Ballad of a Nun ‘ contain very strong morals very
stoutly driven home. In each the poet has made up his mind : he has a theory of life, and presents that
theory to us under cover of a parable of tremendous force.”— A. T. Q. C., in the Speaker.
“An abundant vigour, a lusty vitality, is the mark of all his work. He does not versify for the sake
of versifying, but because his intensity of feeling seeks an outlet in the most vehement and concentrated
form of expression.”—Daily Chronicle.
“We must acknowledge that Mr. Davidson’s work in this volume displays great power. . . . There
is strength and to spare.”—Times.
“Mr. Davidson’s new book is the best thing he has done, and to say this is a good deal. . . . Here,
at all events, is a poet who is never tame or dull : who, at all events, never leaves us indifferent. His verse
speaks to the blood, and there are times when ‘the thing becomes a trumpet'”—Saturday Review.
ODES, AND OTHER POEMS. BY WILLIAM WATSON. FCAP. 8vo,
buckram, 4s. 6d. net. [Third Edition now ready.
“Classic sobriety of form, perspicuity of thought, smoothness and richness of cadence, ingenuity and
resonance of epithet, a pointed concision of style . . . these are the abiding characteristics of Mr. Watson’s
verse. . . . He is a writer, indeed, who can write like this.”—Daily Chronicle.
“He is one of the very few verse-writers of the present day who can be relied on to give us only
his best work, and in that work we are certain to find the rare qualities of simplicity, sanity, and proper-
tion.”—Saturday Review.
“Good as Mr. Watson’s earlier volumes were, there is, we think, in this volume a very marked
advance in craftsmanship and freedom.”—Westminster Gazette.
“Mr. Watson sustains easily in this volume the reputation he has gained of far the greatest poet still
amongst us.”—Spectator.
“His new volume contains five or six poems which are real additions to literature.”—Times.

SCRIBNER’S MAGAZINE
FOR 1895.

THE constantly widening connection of “Scribner’s Magazine” in both literary and artistic work will be drawn upon during the coming year in novel and stimulating directions to make each issue represent the highest type of a progressive and popular American Magazine.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The Amazing Marriage,
A NEW SERIAL NOVEL by GEORGE MEREDITH, will BEGIN in
the January Number of “SCRIBNER.”

The History of the Last Quarter-Century in the United States
Will be an important feature, extending over a number of months.
To undertake the preparation of this history the Magazine has been fortunate in securing
    President E BENJAMIN ANDREWS, of Brown University, who unites the closest study
of American history with the broad grasp of a man of affairs. He possesses especially the fresh
point of view and picturesque narrative which mean everything in a work of this character.

The Story of a Play
Will be a short novel by WILLIAM D. HOWELLS, the experience of young playwright,
and one of Mr. Howell’s most delightful pictures of New York life in a new field.

Another undertaking of interest in quite a different field will be ROBERT GRANT’S
Papers on the Practical Problems of Life, under the title of
“The Art of Living.”
“The Income.” “The Commissariat.” “The Summer Problem.”
“The Dwelling.” “Education.” “Married and Single Life.”
“The Case of Man” AND “The Case of Woman.”

“American Party Politics”
Will be a series of three articles by NOAH BROOKS, dealing with the history of party
politic with the clearness, entertaining quality and personal reminiscences of a man who has been
for years a leading journalist and student of the subject.

No attempt will be made to give here a detailed announcement of the miscellaneous articles which will
give permanence and lively interest to the numbers of the Magazine for 1895. By their varied suggestiveness
and individuality they will maintain its traditions of excellence and of close interest in the activities of
contemporary life. But among the papers which will appear in early numbers of the year may be especially
mentioned: Life at the Athletic Clubs, by DUNCAN EDWARDS, illustrated by C. D. Gibson ; Country
and Hunt Clubs, by EDWARDS S. MARTIN, illustrated ; A Tuscan Shrine, by Mrs. EDITH WHARTON,
with superb illustrations recording an important artistic discovery; Old-fashioned Gardens, by Mrs.
ALICE MORSE EARL, abundantly illustrated from the finest of our old gardens; The Portraits of J. M.
W. Turner, by COSMO MONKHOUSE; Coney Island, by JULIAN RALPH, illustrated by Henry McCarter;
a story of Labrador, by GILBERT PARKER, illustrated by Albery Lynch; Country Roads, written and
illustrated by FRANK FRENCH, the well-known engraver; Sawney’s Deer-lick, by CHARLES D. LANIER,
illustrated by A. B. Frost.

Some Books published by
A. D. INNES & CO.

VERSE TRANSLATIONS FROM GREEK AND LATIN POETS.
By ARTHUR D. INNES, M.A. Large post 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 5s. net.

“A finely varied classical garland. . . . We would fain have a whole book of Virgil from a trans-
lator who renders ‘Inter se coiisse viros et cernere ferro’ by ‘Crash in the stern arbitrament of steel.’ . . .
Will not Mr. Innes give us something more ambitious?”—National Observer, October 20, 1894.

“It is not every lover of the classics who can be his own translator of them ; it is not every translator
who can be the publisher of his own translations. But Mr. Innes can, and he has admirably performed
both functions.”—Daily Chronicle.

SEERS AND SINGERS. A Study of Five English Poets (BROWNING,
TENNYSON, WORDSWORTH, MATTHEW ARNOLD, and Mrs. BROWNING). By ARTHUR
D. INNES, M.A. Cloth antique extra, gilt top, 5s.

“Never were great poets and their gifts to us dealt with in a more reverential and yet discriminating
fashion. Comments and criticisms are alike delicate and suggestive. All followers of the great five
should possess this little book, whose dainty get up is still its least charm.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

SOCIETY IN CHINA. By ROBERT H. DOUGLAS. An Account of the
Everyday Life of the Chinese People: Social, Political, and Religious. Demy 8vo,
cloth, with 22 Illustrations. Second Edition. Price 16s.

“Not only does Mr. Douglas’s book supply a complete conspectus of the polity, institutions, manners, and sentiments of this petrified race, but it reviews clearly the history of foreign relations with China, and points a moral which British diplomatists would do well to lay to heart in future difficulties with China.”                 Times.

Novels.
By STANLEY WEYMAN.

MY LADY ROTHA. A Romance of the Thirty Years’ War. With 8
Illustrations by JOHN WILLIAMSON. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. 28th Thousand.

“Baron DE BOOK-WORMS says: “Mr. Stanley Weyman, Author of ‘A Gentleman of France’ and ‘Under the Red Robe,’ has not yet, excellent as were both these works, written anything so powerful, so artistic, so exciting, and so all-engrossing as ‘My Lady Rotha.'”—Punch.

By ANTHONY HOPE.
HALF A HERO. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

“The book is delightful to read, and an excellent piece of work.”—Standard.

MR. WITT’S WIDOW. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

“In truth a brilliant little tale.”—Times.

SPORT ROYAL. Small crown 8vo, cloth, 2s.

By ROBERT BLATCHFORD.
A SON OF THE FORGE. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

“A rattling good story.”—Literary World.

By F. CUNNINGHAM. BROOMIEBURN : Border Sketches. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 3s. 6d.

OPINIONS.

“Practical, sensible, and very
readable.”—The Times.

“Highly aesthetic publicaton.”
Daily Telegraph.

“Indispensable to artists who
wish to keep abreast of the times.”
Pall Mall Budget.

“Really the best of the Art
Magazines.”—Daily Chronicle.

“No other English magazine
covers the field which this one
adopted in its first number and
has cultivated ever since in issues
preserving a high standard of
artistic excellence. For anyone
who wishes to follow the doings
of the emancipated wing in
English art, especially English
decorative art, it is the best maga-
zine printed.”
New York Tribune.

“Bien écrite, bien éditée, d’un
artistique aspect dans sa robe
vert olive, le ‘STUDIO’ est sans
contredit la plus neuve et la plus
originale revue d’art illustrée
qu’on puisse signaler . . . nulle
autre revue d’art ne lui est com-
parable, ni en Angleterre ni
surtout sur le continent.”
L’Art Moderne.

It is the Mission of “THE STUDIO” to treat upon Modern Art in all its phases
—Art in Painting, Art in Books, Art in Decoration, Art in the Home ; and to
illustrate not only the best pictures, but also the best decorative designs of

Many original illustrations reproduced in the best possible manner are to be

Its Prize Competitions are doing good work in introducing young artists to
manufacturers and patrons of Art.

Everyone interested in Art, professionally or otherwise, should read it.

It is the cheapest and best illustrated Journal devoted to Art of the day.

KEYNOTES.
By GEORGE EGERTON.
Sixth Edition now ready.

“A rich, passionate temperament vibrates through every line. . . . We have met
nothing so lovely in its tenderness since Mr. Kipling’s ‘Without Benefit of Clergy.'”
            Daily Chronicle

“The author of these able word sketches is manifestly a close observer of Nature’s
moods, and one, moreover, who carefully takes stock of the up-to-date thoughts that
shake mankind.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Not since ‘The Story of an African Farm’ was written has any woman delivered
herself of so strong, so forcible a book.”—Queen.

“A work of genius. There is upon the whole thing a stamp of downright inevitable-
ness as of things which must be written, and written exactly in that way.”—Speakers.

“‘Keynotes’ is a singularly clever book.”—Truth.

A CHILD OF THE AGE.
By FRANCIS ADAMS.
Ready.

“The love incident is exquisite, and exquisitely told. ‘Rosy’ lives ; her emotions
stir us. . . . One is grateful for the artistic revelation of the sweet wormwood of pain.”
            Saturday Review.

There is a bloom of romance upon their story which recalls Lucy and Richard
Feverel. . . . It is rarely that a novelist is able to suffuse his story with the first rosy
purity of passion as Mr. Adams has done in this book.”—Realm.

“Only a man of big talent could have produced it.”—Literary World.

“It comes recognizably near to great excellence.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“Possesses a depth and clearness of insight, a delicacy of touch, and a brilliancy and
beauty of style very remarkable in so young a writer.”—Scotsman.

THE DANCING FAUN.
By FLORENCE FARR.
Ready.

“We welcome the light and merry pen of Miss Farr as one of the deftest that has
been wielded in the style of to-day. She has written the cleverest and the most cynical
sensation story of the season.”—Liverpool Daily Post.

“No one can deny its freshness and wit. Indeed there are things in it here and
there which John Oliver Hobbes herself might have signed without loss of reputation.”
            Woman.

“There is a lurid power in the very unreality of the story. One does not quite
understand how Lady Geraldine worked herself up to shooting her lover, but when she
has done it, the description of what passes through her mind is magnificent.”—Athenæum

“As a work of art the book has the merit of brevity and smart writing ; while the
dénouement is skilfully prepared, and comes as a surprise. If the book had been intended
as a satire on the ‘new woman’ sort of literature, it would have been most brilliant ; but
assuming it to be written in earnest, we can heartily praise the form of its construction
without agreeing with the sentiments expressed.”—St. James’s Gazette.

“Shows considerable power and aptitude.”—Saturday Review.

THE GREAT GOD PAN AND THE
INMOST LIGHT.
By ARTHUR MACHEN.
Ready.

“The supernatural element is utilized with extraordinary power and effectiveness in
both these blood-chilling masterpieces.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Since Mr. Stevenson played with the crucibles of Science in ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde,’ we have not encountered a more successful experiment of the sort.”
            Pall Mall Gazette.

“Nothing more striking or more skilful than this book has been produced in the way
of what one may call Borderland fiction since Mr. Stevenson’s indefatigable Brownies
gave the world ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.'”—Glasgow Herald.

“Capital reading, we should say, for ghosts and vampires in their leisure moments.”
            Daily Chronicle.

“For sheer gruesome horror Mr. Machen’s story surpasses anything that has been
published for a long time.”—Scotsman.

POOR FOLK.
Translated from the Russian of F. DOSTOIEVSKY.
By LENA MILMAN.
WITH A PREFACE BY GEORGE MOORE.
Ready.

“These things seem small, but in the hands of Dostoievsky they make a work of
genius.”—Black and White.

“One of the most pathetic things in literature, heart-rending, just because its
tragedy is so repressed.”—Bookman.

“As to novels, the very finest I have read of late or for long is ‘Poor Folk,’ by
Fedor Dostoievsky, translated by Miss Lena Milman.”—Truth.

“Dostoievsky’s novel has met with that rare advantage, a really good translator.”—
Queen.

“This admirable translation of a great author.”—Liverpool Mercury.

“‘Poor Folk’ Englished does not read like a translation—indubitably a master-
piece.”—Literary World.

DISCORDS.
By GEORGE EGERTON.
Ready.

“The student who would keep his finger on the pulse of the time cannot afford to
ignore it.”—Speaker.

“It is another note in the great chorus of revolt . . . on the whole clearer, more
eloquent, and braver than almost any I have yet heard.”—T.P. (“Book of the Week”),
Weekly Sun, December 30.

“These masterly word sketches.”—Daily Telegraph.

“It will be called immoral, it may even be preached against in actual pulpits . . .
but here it is, and must be scanned, a lurid picture of the seamy side, painted in colours
mixed with tears and blood.”—Realm.

“On the whole we congratulate George Egerton.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
