FOUR WONDERFUL WORKS
BY
Four astounding Authors.
PRINCE CHARMING.
By Egbert Gunn
(Third large edition already exhausted).
"An incomparable achievement. The uniquest thing yet done by Mr. Gunn. He has eclipsed Balzac, wiped the floor with George Sand, while panting Tolstoi 'toils after him in vain.'"—Daily Exhaust.
POTLAND FOR EVER!
By Roland Sennett.
"The greatest literary portent of all time. Here the Black Country is painted in all its inspissated gloom by a master-hand—sardonic, salubrious, superb.... We approach this work on all-fours. Any other attitude on the part of a reviewer would be sheer blasphemy."
The Monthly Margarine.
THE UNPLUMBED ABYSS.
By Drax Homer.
First great Notice: "By the side of Mr. Drax Homer, Edgar Allan Poe is a fumbler, and Gaboriau the veriest tiro. In these supremely arresting pages Mr. Drax Homer voices the cosmic mystery with unerring skill, and ranges over the whole gamut of the gruesome. He is the Napoleon of sensation, the Julius Cæsar of melodrama."—Daily Idolater.
The Book of the Day.
BRANDENBURG BABIES
By Guinevere Jaggers.
"Of all the hundreds of English governesses privileged to enter the penetralia of Potsdam, Miss Jaggers had the longest innings and writes with most authority. Her record teems with astounding happenings, appalling revelations and grotesque episodes.... There is nothing to touch it in the annals of candour. Pepys is not in the same street and Benvenuto Cellini not in the same parish. We recommend it to the perusal of the Premier—if he has the courage to tackle it."
The Oil and Vinegar Witness.
Before the Hyde Election—
"Mr. Davies maintains his optimism. He has reprinted one of his cartoons showing him chattering the party walls of 'Jacobson's Jellicoe,' with the big gun of efficiency."
Manchester Evening Chronicle.
But this attempt to drag the Navy into politics met with deserved failure.
"Dwellers in the trenches are not the only fighters who know what it is to be up to the knees in seven feet of water."
Liverpool Daily Post.
We believe the Anakim were greatly troubled in this way.
"MATLOCK'S VETERAN SOLDIER HONOURED.
154 Years in the Army."
High Peak News.
A veteran indeed.
