GENERAL LITERATURE, CRITICISM, POETRY, ETC.

=_English Writers of To-Day:_= Being a Series of Monographs on living
Authors. Each volume is written by a competent authority, and each
subject is treated in an appreciative, yet critical, manner. The
following are the first volumes in the Series:--

=_Rudyard Kipling_=. The Man and His Work. Being an attempt at an
"Appreciation." By G. F. MONKSHOOD, Author of "Woman and The Wits,"
"My Lady Ruby," etc. Containing a portrait of Mr Kipling and an
autograph letter to the author in facsimile. Second Impression.
Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt lettered, top edge gilt, 5s. nett.

=Daily Telegraph=.--"He writes fluently, and he has genuine enthusiasm for
his subject, and an intimate acquaintance with his work. Moreover, the
book has been submitted to Mr Kipling, whose characteristic letter to
the author is set forth on the preface.... Of Kipling's heroes Mr
Monkshood has a thorough understanding, and his remarks on them are
worth quoting" (extract follows).

=Globe=--"It has at the basis of it both knowledge and
enthusiasm--knowledge of the works estimated and enthusiasm for them.
This book may be accepted as a generous exposition of Mr Kipling's
merits as a writer. We can well believe that it will have many
interested and approving readers."

=Scotsman=.--"This well-informed volume is plainly sincere. It is
thoroughly well studied, and takes pains to answer all the questions
that are usually put about Mr Kipling. The writer's enthusiasm carries
both himself and his reader along in the most agreeable style. One way
and another his book is full of interest, and those who wish to talk
about Kipling will find it invaluable, while the thousands of his
admirers will read it through with delighted enthusiasm."
