_From CHAPMAN & HALL’S AUTUMN LIST_

GENERAL LITERATURE

BY INTERVENTION OF PROVIDENCE

By _STEPHEN McKENNA_. _7s. 6d. net._

No one will be surprised that, when Mr. Stephen McKenna sets out to
follow an old trail, he finds it a necessity of his artistic
temperament to diverge into bye-paths. Last winter, finding London
an uninspiring city of refuge, he set sail for the Bahamas. The
result of his sojourn there is one of the most personal, the most
individual books of this generation. It is not fiction though it
contains stories; not a travel book though it talks of travel; not
autobiography though written in the first person. It is a sort of
literary confessional of a singularly attractive and communicative
intellect.

TOGETHER

By _NORMAN DOUGLAS_. _12s. 6d. net._ With a special hand-made paper edition limited to 250 signed copies at £2 2s. net.

It is difficult at this late day to say anything new of Norman
Douglas. His reputation as one of the most original writers of this
generation is solidly established. A vast number of travel books is
published every year, but there is to be found in none of them that
quality of personal flavour that is the chief charm and
characteristic of Mr. Douglas’s writing. His new book, “Together,”
is as delightful as “Alone,” and it has the added attraction of
being a piece of continuous narrative.

LANDSCAPE PAINTING. Vol. I. From Giotto to Turner.

By _C. LEWIS HIND_. _25s. net._

Mr. Hind is the author of many volumes, but he has always looked
forward to the writing of this particular book as one of the chief
events of his career. Wherever he has gone, to the Shires of
England, the States of America, to Italy or the provinces of France,
he has always sought material for this volume. The book will be
profusely illustrated.

THE SECRET OF WOMAN

By _HELEN JEROME_. _7s. 6d. net._

During the war men and women rushed recklessly into marriage. Now in
the hour of post-war disillusion they are seeking to diagnose the
symptoms of their troubles. Never before has there been such a
demand for sane, clear-thinking books on the sex question; for books
that are addressed not to the neurotic, nor the thin-blooded, nor
the over-sexed; but to healthy-minded, healthy-bodied men and women
who honestly desire to make each other happy. Such a book is Helen
Jerome’s “The Secret of Woman.” It deals exhaustively, though
lightly and wittily, with the relationships of men and women. Here
are some of the chapter headings: “Wherein men are superior,”
“Woman’s attitude to male beauty,” “Are women liars?” “Does woman
know passion?”

ROBERT BURNS: His Life and Genius.

By _ANDREW DAKERS_. _10s. 6d. net._

In spite of the assumed lack of sympathy between their rival
interests, there are a great many publishers who are also authors.
But to the best of our knowledge, the first literary agent to write
books as well as sell them is Andrew Dakers, one of the youngest and
most enterprising members of his profession. His critical and
biographical study of Burns develops a new and distinctly
provocative interpretation of Burns’s private life.

EXITS AND ENTRANCES

By _EVA MOORE_. _15s. net._

A light, witty, merry volume of reminiscence by one of the most
fascinating and popular actresses the stage has ever known.

SPARKS FROM THE FIRE: a Volume of Essays.

By _GILBERT THOMAS_. _6s. net._

The career of Gilbert Thomas as an essayist and a poet has been for
a long time followed with attention by those who value taste and
scholarship. His new book is certain of a warm welcome.

NEW FICTION AT 7S. 6D. NET.

ONE OF THE GUILTY

By _W. L. GEORGE_, Author of “A Bed of Roses,” “The Stiff Lip,” “The Confession of Ursula Trent.”

“One of the Guilty” is a romantic story, a novel of action; it is a
study of the primitive human instincts that underlie the veneer of
education and environment. In “The Confession of Ursula Trent” Mr.
George told how a well-bred girl of county family became, through
circumstances and influence, a demi-mondaine. In “One of the Guilty”
he shows how a public schoolboy can become a criminal. Never before
has the life of a thief, of a successful thief, been presented so
graphically, so dramatically, so intimately. Every detail of the
methods and implements of modern burglary is described, and yet
throughout one’s sympathies, one’s affections, are with the thief;
one hopes, in spite of oneself, that he will win through.

“One of the Guilty” is not, in the accepted sense of the word, a sex
novel. But it is as much a love story as it is an adventure story,
and in no other novel, perhaps, has W. L. George written more
tender, more beautiful, more passionate love scenes that he has in
this book.

GOOD HUNTING

By _NORMAN DAVEY_.

Norman Davey, the author of “The Pilgrim of a Smile,” is not one of
those novelists who believe that it is necessary to produce a new
book every autumn. Indeed, two years have passed since the
successful appearance of “Guinea Girl,” his romance of Monte Carlo.
His new novel, “Good Hunting,” is, as was “The Pilgrim of a Smile,”
a series of stories grouped about one man; a fashionable and popular
young man whom a number of girls endeavour to ensnare into marriage,
and it is dedicated to the 1,337,208 superfluous women (last
census)!

SMOKE RINGS

By _G. B. STERN_, Author of “The Room,” “The Back Seat,” etc.

A first collection of short stories by one of the most brilliant of
our younger novelists.
