WASHINGTON'S LIST.
_THE ZOOMERS._
BY GLADYS WANK.
_PRICE_ 6/113/4.
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.
FIRST REVIEW BEFORE PUBLICATION.
"It is not saying too much, when I solemnly assert that I really
believe that Miss Wank's first book is the best she has ever
written."--"_A MAN OF KENT_," in _The Scottish Treacly_.

_SIMIAN SONGS._
BY ISABEL MUNKITTRICK.
_PRICE_ 11/31/2.
These remarkable lyrics are translations into vernacular verse of the
prose versions of specimens of the literature of the great apes of
Africa, collected by Professor GARNER. It is not too much to say that
those touching _cris de coeur_ redolent of the jungle, the lagoon and
the hinterland, will appeal with irresistible force to all lovers of
sincere and passionate emotion. The Chimpanzee's "swing song" on page
42 is a marvel of oscillating melody.

_THE MILLENNIUM VIA ARMAGEDDON._
BY REV. ANGUS WOTTLEY, D.D.
_WITH A FOREWORD BY_ PRINCIPAL CAWKER.
_PRICE_ 9/41/4.
This is a work of over 120,000 words of extraordinary beauty and
distinction. It has gone into 150 editions in Patagonia, where the
editions are very large, and ought to be in great demand in this
country. Tiberius Mull, writing in the Literary Supplement of _The
Scottish Oil World_, uses these remarkable words: "I do honestly
believe that Dr. Angus Wottley's book is the most weighty volume he
has ever given to the world."

_POLLY ANDREA'S SACRIFICE._
BY SALINA LAKE.
_PRICE_ 8/31/2.
This is the first attempt to present the limitations of the modern
monogamous system in its true polyphonic perspective, several
huge editions having been exhausted before publication. Professor
McTalisker writes in the Theological Supplement of _John Bull_: "For
a person in a state of partial exhaustion I can imagine no more
efficacious stimulant than is to be found in those beautiful pages.
