BY

RICHARD MARSH

Author of

'FRIVOLITIES,' 'THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN,' 'AMUSEMENT
ONLY,' 'THE BEETLE,' 'THE CHASE OF THE RUBY,' ETC.

Court Circular.--'Mr. Richard Marsh tells in a very agreeable manner a number of detective stories of the Sherlock Holmes order.... The plots are very ingenious, and are cleverly worked out, and the book altogether will enhance the reputation of the author.'

Scotsman.--'Mr. Marsh is a skilled writer ... these tales make a book that should not fail to please anyone who can be entertained by cleverly made-up mysteries.'

Dundee Advertiser.--'"An Aristocratic Detective" is from the pen of Richard Marsh, and displays that writer's customary inventiveness and realistic manner. It relates the experiences of the Hon. Augustus Champnell, who emulates Sherlock Holmes in the following up of puzzling cases. These are very cutely devised and smartly worked out. All through Mr. Marsh is thoroughly interesting.'

Eastern Morning News.--'The whole of the sketches are vigorous and racy, being told in a lively, up-to-date manner, and some of the characters are exceptionally well drawn ... anyone in search of a stirring volume will read this one with great interest.'

County Gentleman.--'Mr. Marsh is known to be a skilled craftsman in this kind of work, and his Champnell stories are all worth reading.'
