NOVELS BY A. E. W. MASON.



THE FOUR FEATHERS.

Thirteenth Impression. Crown 8vo. 6s.

SPECTATOR.—'Interesting and exciting. . . . Mr. Mason is an admirable narrator, with a gift for framing strong situations, and the interest of the reader is enlisted at the outset.'
COUNTRY LIFE.—'Mr. A. E. W. Mason takes a firmer grip than ever upon the affection of the world that reads. It is indeed a grand story, told with such sympathy and spirit combined as are rarely to be found in books.'
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—In every sense a readable and absorbing book. . . . It is not the least of the merits of "The Four Feathers" that it is a book of adventure, for the scenes in the Soudan, the tragedy of the "House of Stone," which is the prison wherein Feversham and French suffer nameless torture, are vivid and graphic pictures, drawn with remarkable knowledge and skill.'

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—'A fine, stirring, arresting piece of fiction, which is certain to strike fire and kindle enthusiasm from every class of reader throughout the dominion.'
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—'This story, like most of Mr. Mason's, is eminently well contrived. Every page is workmanlike and many are eminently well written.

GUARDIAN.—'Mr. Mason has produced a careful study of character which is full of understanding and admirably worked out. . . . It is a book full of true human interest and sympathy and with a fine lofty tone, and it deserves to be widely read.'
