THE MODERN STUDENT’S LIBRARY
EVAN HARRINGTON
By Grorce MEREDITH
With an Introduction by
GEORGE G. REYNOLDS Professor of English Literature, University of Colorado
Evan Harrington, one of the greatest demonstrations of George Meredith’s genius, is an ironic comment on English society and man- ners in the latter part of the last century, done with amazing pene- tration and the best of his humor. In the large, it reflects the strug- gle between spiritual and moral ideals which was constantly going on in Meredith’s mind and which ends in the triumph of the spirit of sacrifice.

By Rosert Louis STEVENSON
With an Introduction by
H. S. CANBY
Formerly Professor of English Literature at Yale University, and present editor of the New York Evening Post Literary Review
Here is one of the most absorbing of Stevenson’s romances, full of the spice of adventure and exciting incident, the thrill of danger and the chill of fear; it is, beside, a powerful and subtle study of Scotch character of different types, and brings into being one of the most amazing of all the dramatis persone of romantic fiction.
