Crown 8vo, 6s. each.
THE EARLY HISTORY
OF JACOB STAHL
Second Impression.
"A very remarkable book … 'Jacob Stahl' should place its writer at once in the forefront of modern novelists. … We congratulate Mr. Beresford on one of the most convincing studies of character we have read for a very long time."—Morning Post.
"A work of rare promise."—Westminster Gazette.
"Brilliantly clever."—Manchester Guardian.
A CANDIDATE
FOR TRUTH
Second Impression
A continuation of the history of Jacob Stahl.
"'A Candidate for Truth' raises its author quite definitely to the front rank of living novelists."—Standard.
"Mr. Beresford has unmistakably arrived. If we were to consider Mr. Arnold Bennett as a safe first-class, we should have to place Mr. Beresford not very far below in the same class."—Morning Leader.
"The book is an excellent piece of work, well designed and well fashioned, full of observation of life."—Times.
THE INVISIBLE
EVENT
The conclusion of the history of Jacob Stahl.
"The 'Invisible Event' is the story of the marriage of true minds."—Manchester Guardian.
"The morality of the whole book is at once brave and shining". … I defy anyone to read this book without feeling honester for it."—New Statesman.
"As usual Mr. Beresford has mixed brains with his writing; and the result is an admirable story."—The Globe.
"Mr. Beresford has brought his long and singularly sincere record to an end that is worthy of its beginnings, and … the trilogy forms as fine an achievement as any our modern school has produced."—The Times.
THE HAMPDENSHIRE
WONDER
This book is a striking tour de force in philosophical fiction, the narrative of the short life of the "Wonder"—a boy of humble parentage—carrying the reader along through his remarkable career, and subtly propounding the question: what would life be without mystery?
"A novel which in point of originality, both of conception and execution, is the most remarkable that has been published for some time."—Morning Post.
