the level of the ordinary novel of adventure."--_Manchester

Bushigrams. By Guy Boothby. Fully Illustrated. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s.
"Intensely interesting. Forces from us, by its powerful artistic
realism, those choky sensations which it should be the aim of the
humane writer to elicit, whether in comedy or tragedy. The book
will enhance Mr. Boothby's reputation and bring him into the very
front rank of emotional writers, as well as confirm our opinion of
him as a most powerful imaginative author. His humorous vein is
fascinating and attractive. His pathos is true, and often most
touching."--_Manchester Guardian._
