EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES ON No. 3 OF “THE SAVOY.
“English people are always supposed to be averse to showing their patriotism by purchasing home-made articles if the foreigner can please them better, and it is unfortunately difficult to see why anyone should buy an illustrated magazine produced in England so long as he can get ‘Harper’s,’ ‘The Century,’ or ‘Scribner’s.’ To begin with, the artists who draw for these magazines have some pretensions to a knowledge of their craft; they draw as if they cared about drawing. Then again, the Americans are masters of the short story—the present able, well-executed, cultivated short story—not the ghosts of the ‘Pall Mall Magazine,’ the detectives of the ‘Strand,’ or the steam-engines of the ‘English Illustrated,’ or the sombre précis of a tragedy by an author who is too big for his boots. One may tire of Napoleon, or German liberty, or whatever the American set dish happens to be, and it is permissible sometimes to rebel against the continual roughing it in the West or North; but it only needs a little courage, and probably these things also will be found to be well done. But there is now an English monthly that can ask for support with a good grace, because it offers better black-and-white work than any periodical, English, American, or French, that we have seen. We do not know that ‘The Savoy’ can claim any extraordinary merit except on the score of Mr. Beardsley’s drawings; but his coiffeur in this issue, and three at least of his contributions to the last, must clear away any doubts there may have been as to his supreme position as a draughtsman .”—Saturday Review.
“Appearing now for the first time as a monthly magazine, ‘The Savoy ’ retains some of its individual characteristics, though perhaps in a mitigated form. Mr. Aubrey Beardsley furnishes a quaintly decorative design for the cover, as well as an illustration that is not without grace, of his own verses, ‘The Ballad of the Barber.’ Other illustrations are after the work of that extraordinary artist, William Blake, whose writings and drawings are dealt with in the first of a series of three articles to be contributed by Mr. W. B. Yeats .”—Morning Post

“To many Mr. Symons may appear a mystic and a dreamer, to us he is a modem 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 figure of the book is very clear and very telling.”— Mr. T. P. O’Connor in the Weekly Sun.

“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.

“Nietzsche is, without doubt, an extraordinarily interesting figure. He is the modern incarnation of that image of intellectual pride which Marlowe created in Faustus. A man who has certainly stood at the finest summit of modern culture, who has thence made the most determined effort ever made to destroy modern morals, and who now leads a life as near to death as any life outside the grave can be, must needs be a tragic figure. It is a figure full of significance, for it represents, perhaps, the greatest spiritual force which has appeared since Goethe, full of interest also to the psychologist, and surely not without its pathos, perhaps its horror, for the man in the street.”-— Mr. Havelock Ellis in The Savoy.
“Nietzsche is worse than shocking, he is simply awful: his epigrams are written with phosphorus or brimstone. The only excuse for reading him is that before long you must be prepared either to talk about Nietzsche or else retire from society, especially from aristocratically minded society. . . . His sallies, petulant and impossible as some of them are, are the work of a rare spirit and pregnant with its vitality.”— Mr. George Bernard Shaw in the Saturday Review.
“Lurking behind the intellectual movements of Europe in philosophy as in everything else, England is just now beginning to hear of the existence of Friedrich Nietzsche.”— Mr. Ernest Newman in the Free Review.
“Daring, clever, and oracular.”— Glasgow Herald.
“Nietsche is simply a disseminator of poison.”— Rock.
“Nietzsche belongs to the emancipated.”— Literary Guide.
“He is no vulgarian like Nordau.”— Manchester Guardian.

![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/SAVOYV4_icon11_art_ad.jpg "SAVOYV4_icon11_art_ad")
