14 Mr. Edward Arnold's List of New Books 



AMABEL CHANNICE. 



By ANNE DOUGLAS SEDGWICK, 



AUTHOR OF 'VALERIE UPTON,' ETC. 



Crown 8vo. 6s. 



Readers of * Valerie Upton ' will turn eagerly to Miss Sedgwick's 

 new novel. The scene is laid in England, and the principal char- 

 acters are four Amabel Channice, her son, her husband, and 

 another woman, Lady Elliston. The relations between mother 

 and son form the basis of the story, and the dramatic situation 

 begins when the son, a youth of nineteen, broaches to his mother 

 the question why she and his father do not live together. Curiosity 

 is thus awakened, and the emotional atmosphere charged with uneasy 

 expectation. Thereafter events move quickly, reaching a dramatic 

 climax within the space of a week. Further than this it would not 

 be fair to the author to reveal her plot. 



A ROOM WITH A VIEW. 



By E. M. FORSTER, 



AUTHOR OF 'THE LONGEST JOURNEY,' 'WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD,' ETC. 



Crown Svo. 6s. 



A novelist's third book, when its predecessors have shown great 

 promise, is generally held to make or mar his reputation. There 

 can be no question that Mr. Forster's new story will effectually 

 establish his position. It is a comedy, having more affinity in style 

 with his first book, < Where Angels Fear to Tread,' than with ' The 

 Longest Journey.' The author's whimsical humour, and unexpected 

 turns of satire, have attained a still more piquant quality. He excels 

 especially in satirizing the banalities of ordinary conversation, and 

 his dialogue is always deliciously amusing. 



MIRIAM. 



By EDITH C. M. DART. 

 Crown Svo. 6s. 



This is a promising first novel by a new writer, whose style is 

 remarkable for delicate workmanship. The story moves round the 

 dying fortunes of an old country family and its ancestral home. The 

 hero belongs to another branch of this family, and there is a mystery 

 about his birth. The heroine is an orphan, the daughter of a yeoman 

 father and a French mother. Another important character is a 

 scheming lawyer, and with these threads of love and intrigue the 

 author has woven an interesting plot which is cleverly worked out.
