WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S IT NEVER CAN HAPPEN AGAIN

This novel turns on a strange marital complication. The beautiful Judith
Arkroyd, with her stage ambitions, the pathetic Lizarann and her father,
Blind Jim, are striking figures. There are strong dramatic episodes
($1.75).

"De Morgan at his very best, and how much better his best is than the
work of any novelist of the past thirty years."--_The Independent._

"There has been nothing at all like it in our day. The best of our
contemporary novelists ... do not so come home to our business and our
bosoms ... most enchanting ... infinitely lovable and pathetic."--_The
Nation._

WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S AN AFFAIR OF DISHONOR

A dramatic story of England in the time of the Restoration. It commences
with a fatal duel, and shows a new phase of its remarkable author
($1.75).

"An artistic triumph.... He is a persistent humorist."--_Boston
Transcript._

"A better story than any of the others, so far as sustained interest is
concerned.... The rich, suggestive, highly metaphorical the M. I.
style.... A marvelous example of Mr. De Morgan's inexhaustible fecundity
of invention.... Shines as a romance quite as much as 'Joseph Vance'
does among realistic novels."--_Chicago Record-Herald._

WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S A LIKELY STORY
$1.35 net.

"Begins comfortably enough with a little domestic quarrel in a
studio.... The story shifts suddenly, however, to a brilliantly told
tragedy of the Italian Renaissance embodied in a girl's portrait ...
which speaks and affects the life of the modern people who hear it....
The many readers who like Mr. De Morgan will enjoy this charming fancy
greatly."--_New York Sun._

"In the forefront of English fiction.... Both ingenious and amusing....
All in his highly personal and individual manner, the result of which is
a novel with an emphatic difference from all other works of contemporary
fiction."--_Boston Transcript._

"One sparkling stream, where realism in its sweeter, human and humorous
aspects shall appear at its best.... Humor, wisdom, artists' jargon from
the studios, psychic phenomena.... All in Mr. De Morgan's best vein....
The advancing chapters ... how realistically modern they are, with the
exactness of finish, appositeness of delineation, humor in dialog, and
condensed dramatic action!"--_The Independent._
