_MEMORIES OF LINCOLN'S COUNTRY_

In this book Mr Grierson recalls in vivid memories the wonderful romance of his life in Lincoln's country before the war. "_The Valley of the Shadows_ is not a novel," says Mr W. L. Courtney in the _Daily Telegraph_, "yet in the graphic portraiture of spiritual and intellectual movements it possesses an attraction denied to all but the most significant kind of fiction.... With a wonderful touch Mr Grierson depicts scene after scene, drawing the simple, native characters with bold, impressive strokes."

"Told with wonderful charm ... enthralling as any romance ... truth, though often stranger than fiction, is almost always duller; Mr Grierson has accomplished the rare feat of making it more interesting. There are chapters in the book ... that haunt one afterwards like remembered music, or like pa.s.sages in the prose of Walter Pater."--_Punch._

MODERN MYSTICISM

And Other Essays

BY FRANCIS GRIERSON

_F'cap. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net_

_ORIGINAL, INCISIVE, SUBTLE, ACUTE_

This book embodies profound thinking expressed in an original and happy style.

Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"This volume is full of thoughts and meditations of the very highest order.... Mr Grierson has concentrated his thought on the profound and simple questions of life and conscience....

What unique and decisive things in 'Parsifalitis,' for example, what strange clairvoyance in 'Beauty and Morals in Nature,' in the essay on 'Tolstoy,' in 'Authority and Individualism,' in 'The New Criticism'!"

Mr JAMES DOUGLAS says:--"This little book is tremulous with originality and palpitating with style."

Mr A. B. WALKLEY says:--"A delectable book.... I shall keep it on the same shelf as 'Wisdom and Destiny' and 'The Treasure of the Humble.'"

THE CELTIC TEMPERAMENT

BY FRANCIS GRIERSON

_F'cap 8vo. 2s. 6d. net_

_CHARMING AND FULL OF WISDOM_

The late Professor WILLIAM JAMES said:--"I find 'The Celtic Temperament'

charming and full of wisdom."

The _Glasgow Herald_ says:--"A remarkable book, and by a remarkable man.... This book will be read and re-read by all who recognise acuteness of intellectual faculty, culture which has gained much from books, but more from human intercourse, deep thinking, and a gift of literary expression which at times it quite Gallic."

Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"In this volume I am privileged once more to breathe the atmosphere of supreme spiritual aristocracy which emanates from all Mr Grierson's work. He has, in his best moments, that most rare gift of casting certain shafts of light, at once simple and decisive, upon questions the most difficult, obscure, and unlooked-for in art, morals, and psychology.... I place these essays among the most subtle and substantial that I know."

SOME NEIGHBOURS

STORIES, SKETCHES, AND STUDIES

BY CHARLES GRANVILLE

_Second edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

_FULL OF CLEVER CHARACTERISATION_

A fine vein of poetic feeling runs through all these stories, sketches, and studies, which are, without exception, highly entertaining and full of clever characterisation. Mr Granville's style is by turns nave, deliberate and restrained, but always attractive.

_The Times._--"A pleasant book ... prettily conceived and told...."

_The Scotsman._--"The stories are always interesting, both as studies of odd aspects of humanity and for the curious modern reticence of their art."

CLEMENT K. SHORTER in _The Sphere_.--"'Some Neighbours' deserves the highest commendation."

_The Morning Leader._--"The treatment is invariably fresh and individual ... thoroughly readable."

_Eastern Morning News._--"There can be nothing but praise--and that of a high quality--for a man who writes with Mr Granville's sympathy and charm ... his art is so sure that he puts a world of life and reality into a few pages."

_Liverpool Daily Post._--"Mr Granville is a writer possessing literary gifts very much above the average, and the versatility of his gifts is very fully indicated in the book under notice."

_Yorks.h.i.+re Observer._--"The author certainly shows that love of humanity which marks the creative mind."

_Aberdeen Free Press._--"All of them are readable, and there are one or two of _quite surprising excellence_.... These are characterised by real literary power, and suffused with true poetic feeling."

_Westminster Review._--"Mr Granville's humour is of that quality which perceives the sense of tears in human things. To those capable of appreciating fine literature we recommend 'Some Neighbours.'"

_The Commentator._--"This clever writer's characteristic originality and freshness both of thought and expression."
