DAILY NEWS says :-" Mr. Bart Kennedy has seen many men and many cities, most of them in shadow.' His style is his own, although in some respects it recalls the methods of those two brilliant young journalists, now, alas ! dead-G. W. Steevens and Stephen Crane. He has the power of visualising his surroundings, which those two writers possessed in such a marked degree, but his work is stronger than that of either of them, and he comes to closer grips with his subject."

THE WORLD SAYS:-"It is a genuine romance of "reality, and intensely human. The author entirely succeeds in making her readers 'feel' China, and especially when the hour of danger has struck. Into the easy life of the English society of Shanghai, with its exotic effect, which Mrs. Little conveys so perfectly, the terror comes. And in a moment the understrain of the tragic in feeling rises to the full tone of the tragic in fact. The suddenness and the savagery of the irruption of a dreadful danger into the frivolous scene, with all the exaggeration of report, are very finely conveyed."

...

THE LITERARY WORLD says:-" Mrs. Archibald Little has passed nearly fifteen years in China, and she has written some entertaining and instructive books on the country. . . The present volume is by no means her first effort in fiction, and we are able to congratulate her on her success. Will find it difficult to lay down the book before he reaches the end."

THE FIELD." Knowing as we do something of the country and its people and professing a love of old style gardening, we have read Mr. Trower's book with great delight. It is from beginning to end a faithful picture of English country life told in the spirit of Oliver Goldsmith, Wordsworth, and Richard Jefferies. It has the odour of cowslips and wood violets; one can hear the song of the thrush and the skylark and the whir of the wryneck whilst reading it.'

Queer Things About Sicily," differs widely from Mr. Sladen's other books on the Island of the Sun. In this book Mr. Sladen has described Sicily from an entirely fresh standpoint; he shows how it strikes the ordinary traveller. He handles its drawbacks and peculiarities with the caustic and cynical pen which has given his books on Japan ten times the circulation of any others ever written on that wonderful country which has suddenly become one of the greatest powers in the world. "Queer Things About Sicily" is charmingly and exhaustively illustrated, and is very racily written. Sladen (Douglas).- Queer Things about Japan. Popular Edition. (Fourth Thousand.)

Intended to give the picture lover the reason why, apart from the subject, he likes certain pictures and does not like others, and why some pictures are called good and others bad by artists. The layman when asked why one work gives him pleasure and another displeases him, often replies, "I don't know." To inform him how to give a discriminating reason for his judgment (often well founded), and to indicate in an untechnical manner in what the merit and demerit of pictures consist is the purpose of this little book.
