THE BLUE WALL

BY RICHARD WASHBURN CHILD

"A good mystery story which will hold the interest of the reader from the very first, which is well constructed, well sustained, and has something of the dramatic quality, is one of the most desirable things in the way of fiction, and one of the rarest. The Blue Wall' is all of this. When the story has added to these good points the quality of real literary worth, of atmosphere, of style, of character and depth, it is something indeed out of the common, and well worth talking about. 'The Blue Wall' is like nothing else you have ever read before."

CHARLES DICKENS

THE MAN AND HIS WORK

BY

EDWIN PERCY WHIPPLE

NOLLECTED in recognition of the Dickens centenary, these essays by a distinguished American writer and critic will have a special appeal to Dickens lovers and collectors. Forty years ago, Mr. Whipple prepared a brilliant series of Introductions for a notable edition of the novelist's works. The Introductions have hitherto been held strictly as an integral part of that and a succeeding edition, but now, in order that they shall be even more fully appreciated at their true value, they have been collected in two volumes, where they constitute an important addition to Dickens literature and to the body of American criticism.

NOT feature the work, is with

OT the least interesting feature of the work is the autobiographical and appreciative

life-time. Mr. Bates writes: "The Introductions which have been collected in the present volumes first show fully their real worth now that they may be read consecutively, and they make their appeal to the reader as a complete study of the work of Dickens at once comprehensive and admirable."
