his fertile and resourceful pen is at its best if, indeed, his
literary reputation has not been substantially advanced.
~The Alston Rivers' Shilling Library~.

~Creatures that once were Men~. MAXIM GORKY. With Introductory
by G.K. CHESTERTON.
~Lovers in London~. A.A. MILNE.
"'A Coming Humorist.' ... In Mr. Milne it may not be extravagant to
descry a writer with a future before him."--_Evening Standard and St.

James's Gazette_.
~Change for a Halfpenny~. C.L.G. and E.V.L.
The hustling methods of modernity possess undoubted possibilities for
humorous treatment, and no one has appreciated the fact more keenly
than the authors of "Wisdom While you Wait." In this their latest work
the prospectus of the Napolio Syndicate forms a bowstring whence fly
shafts of satire that hit the mark every time.
~The Loot of Cities~. ARNOLD BENNETT.
~Publican and Serf~.
A striking study of nomadic life among the peasant classes, translated
from the Russian by J.K.M. SHIRAZI.
It is one thing to be a famous writer; it is another to be widely read.
Maxim Gorky is at present included in both categories, though as
regards the second condition he had scarcely qualified prior to the
publication of "Creatures that once were Men." It was a bold venture,
for all the former successes in shilling form were either sensationally
melodramatic or frankly farcical. Encouraged by the huge demand for
Maxim Gorky's book, Mr. Alston Rivers is publishing in the same form
(1/- nett, paper, and 1/6 cloth) "Publican and Serf," by Skitaletz, a
Russian Author, who, while by no means behind Gorky in point of
realism, possesses in the opinion of some critics a still greater measure
of literary ability. Other items of Mr. Alston Rivers' Shilling Library,
which has prospered as only the result of the most careful selection
could prosper, are "Lovers in London," by A.A. Milne, brightest and
most promising of the younger humorists, and "The Loot of Cities," by
Mr. Arnold Bennett, the mere name of whom is a sufficient guarantee
of entertainment. As for general literature, "The Soul of London," by
Ford Madox Hueffer, may be justly described as worthy of a place in
every library. The author in his introduction, remarks that he has tried
to make the book anything rather than encyclopædic, topographical, or
archæological, and beyond that somewhat negative phrase it is difficult
to give any more complete designation to the work. For the treatment

of the subject is altogether original, this attraction being intensified by
the particularly graceful style in which a remarkable gift of observation
finds expression.
