By SPENCER LEIGH HUGHES, M.P., _Sub-Rosa_ of the _Daily News and Leader_.
Although his pen has probably covered more pages than Balzac's, this is
the first time _Sub-Rosa_ has really "turned author." The charm and
penetration of the result suggest that his readers will never allow him
to turn back again. He is a born essayist, but he has, in addition, the
breadth and generosity that journalism alone can give a man. The
combination gives a kind of golden gossip--criticism without acrimony,
fooling without folly. The work contains sixteen pictures in colour of
English types by Frederick Gardner. 300 pp. Buckram, 5/- net. Leather,
7/6 net.
