List of New Books. 



NEW NOVEL. 



By the author of ' The Jungle.' 



THE METROPOLIS. 



By UPTON SINCLAIR. 

 Crown Svo. 6s. 



This is Mr. Upton Sinclair's first new novel since ' The Jungle,' 

 wherein he startled the world with his lurid account of the iniquities 

 perpetrated in the American canned meat trade. 



In ' The Metropolis ' he brings a scathing indictment against the 

 vulgar element in New York Society, whose exotic and vicious lives 

 are exposed with all that unrestrained and brilliant relentlessness of 

 which Mr. Sinclair is a master. 



It will be remembered that a few months ago a report went round 

 to the effect that Mr. Sinclair had managed to get a situation as 

 butler in the house of a prominent millionaire, where he was studying 

 the occupants with the intention of describing them in a book. The 

 report was unfounded, and was denied at the lime ; but it is quite 

 clear from this book that he must have had opportunities of no 

 ordinary character to have enabled him to handle the subject with 

 such telling and convincing effect.
