 Ryecroft 6/- [6th Edition. 



" Mr. Gissing has never written anything more remark- 

 able. ... In many ways it is his best work . . . strikes 

 us as a lour de force" The Timei. 



"The sustained excellence of the writing in this volume 

 will surprise even his admirers. The pages that describe 

 natural beauties of scene or of season are the finest that 

 have been written lately. . . . The volume is a great 

 treat. It is the revelation of a deeply interesting person- 

 ality, and it is expressed in the prose of admirable strength 

 and beauty. Daily Chronicle. 



Veranilda 6- ^ Edition. 



MR. H. G. WELLS says in the Sphere : " Gissing's maturest, 

 latest and most deliberately conceived book . . . the 

 book that lay nearest his heart during the last years of his 

 life." 



MR. W. L. COURTNEY, in the Daily Telegraph : " A work 

 for which he was eminently fitted by his tastes and pre- 

 dilections ; ' Veranilda ' is an historical romance such as we 

 rarely see in our modern times." 



DR. WILLIAM BARRY in The Bookman : " Fine workmanship 

 . . . . It belongs emphatically to literature, and it can- 

 not fail to give pleasure." 



MR. FREDERIC HARRISON says : " I judge it to be far the 

 most important book which George Gissing ever produced. 

 . . . . I think these pages contain his best and most 

 original work."
