_Second Edition. Cloth, 3s. 6d._
'There has not been so powerful a story of the lowest class as "Liza of
Lambeth" ... since Mr Rudyard Kipling wrote the "History of Badalia
Herodsfoot." We are not sure, indeed, that this new story does not beat
that one in vividness and knowledge of the class it depicts ... he has
an almost extraordinary gift of directness and concentration, and his
characters have an astounding amount of vitality.'--_Standard._
'Those who wish to read of life as it is, without exaggeration and
without modification, will have no difficulty in recognising the merits
of this volume.'--_Athenaeum._
'He has performed his task with singular ability. No one can read his
book without being convinced and saddened by its evident truth and
accuracy.'--_Literary World._
'The characters are depicted with great vigour, and stand out before us
as lifelike as if we were actually standing in the street listening to
their talk.'--Review of Reviews.
'Liza's portrait is so complete and so strong that even now her ghost
refuses to be laid.'--_Literature._
'Liza is a living creature from the beginning to the end.'--_Queen._
