TKe House 

 With the Green Shutters 



by 

 George Douglas 



There is no need for us to say much about this book or its author. 

 Others are saying it for us. When such critics as the Times, and the 

 Spectator, and the Academy in England ; and the Sun and Harper s 

 Weekly in America, compare George Douglas to iEschylus, Balzac, 

 Stevenson, Flaubert, and Thomas Hardy, what remains for the pub- 

 lishers to add? 



At one time, before the book was " discovered," we had hundreds 

 of copies piled up in our stockroom. These were first editions. We 

 have none left now. If we had we could sell them at a premium, an 

 unheard-of thing for an American imprint of a British Book. But 

 you can get a seventh edition at present, and some edition at any 

 time, for " The House with the Green Shutters " will be a live book 

 vears from now.
