THE GREY MAN

BY
S. R. CROCKETT

_Crown 8vo., cloth_, =6s.=

_Also, an Edition de Luxe, with 26 Drawings by SEYMOUR LUCAS, R.A., limited to 250 copies, signed by Author. Crown 4to., cloth gilt_, =21s.= _net_.

“It has nearly all the qualities which go to make a book of the first-class. Before you have read twenty pages you know that you are reading a classic.”—_Literary World._

“All of that vast and increasing host of readers who prefer the novel of action to any other form of fiction should, nay, indeed, must, make a point of reading this exceedingly fine example of its class.”—_Daily Chronicle._

“With such passages as these [referring to quotations], glowing with tender passion, or murky with horror, even the most insatiate lover of romance may feel that Mr. Crockett has given him good measure, well pressed down and running over.”—_Daily Telegraph._
