al and highly stimulating.
Mr. Leacock surveys the troubled hour and discusses the popular
palliatives with a keen, unbiassed intelligence and splendid
sympathy. I hope it will have as large a circulation as any of his
humorous books, for it has much wisdom in it."--_Daily Chronicle._

"The charm of Mr. Leacock's book is ... that it deals tersely and
clearly with the problem of Social Justice without technical jargon
or any abuse of generalities."--_Morning Post._

THE HUMOROUS NOVELS OF HARRY LEON WILSON

BUNKER BEAN
MA PETTENGILL
SOMEWHERE IN RED GAP
RUGGLES OF RED GAP

_Crown 8vo. 7s. net_

Harry Leon Wilson is one of the first of American humorists, and in
popularity he is a close rival of O. Henry. His "Ruggles of Red
Gap," published at the beginning of the war, achieved a distinct
success in England, while the raciness and vivacity of "Ma
Pettengill" have furthered the author's reputation as an inimitable
delineator of Western comedy. An English edition of this author's
works is in course of preparation, of which the above are the first
volumes.

"The author has the rare and precious gift of original
humour."--_Daily Graphic._

"Thackeray would have enjoyed Mr. Wilson's merry tale of 'Ruggles
of Red Gap.' A very triumph of farce."--_Sunday Times._

"Mr. Wilson is an American humorist of the first water. We have not
for a long time seen anything so clever in its way and so
outrageously funny."--_Literary World._
