Mr. Edward Arnold's List of New Books 
AMABEL CHANNICE. 
By ANNE DOUGLAS SEDGWICK, 
Author of ‘Valerie Upton,’ etc. 
Crown 8 vo, 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 8 vo. 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 6 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 8 vo. 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.
