_PRICE_ 6/11¾.
A new writer who by virtue of her godlike genius takes her seat with
HOMER, DANTE, SHAKSPEAKE and MARIE CORELLI, and a novel such as the
world has not known since _The Miseries of Mephistopheles_ startled
the comatose mid-Victorians from their slumbers--both stand revealed
in these soul-shaking pages. To say that this is the novel of the year
is to malign its greatness It is the novel of the century, of all
centuries, of all time.
