SMITH, ELDER & CO.'S BOOKS.


WORKS BY ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER BENSON, C.V.O.

Large post 8vo, 7s. 6d. net each.


AT LARGE.

DAILY CHRONICLE.—"This is, in its way, the most frankly personal of the 'Benson books' as yet published. It is all graceful, soothing, and pleasant the very book for tired minds in a nerve-racking world."


THE ALTAR FIRE.

SECOND IMPRESSION.

WORLD.—"In conception and in execution this study of a high-souled but inveterate egoist, converted to humility and altruism by the discipline of suffering, is an achievement of rare power, pathos, and beauty, and, so far, incomparably the finest thing that its author has given us."


BESIDE STILL WATERS.

SECOND IMPRESSION.

DAILY CHRONICLE."'Beside Still Waters' gathers together the scattered threads which have been already introduced into several of Mr. Benson's more recent studies; it consolidates his attitude in life, and gives full expression to his mellow and contented philosophy."


FROM A COLLEGE WINDOW.

TWELFTH IMPRESSION (FOURTH EDITION).

DAILY GRAPHIC.—"One of the most delightful books of the year."
LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.—"Will be read again and again with eager interest."
GUARDIAN.—"We have nothing but praise for Mr. Benson's book."


THE UPTON LETTERS.

TWELFTH IMPRESSION (SECOND EDITION). WITH A PREFACE.

DAILY CHRONICLE.—"If any one supposes that the art of letter-writing is dead, this volume will prove the contrary … Altogether this is a curiously intimate and very pathetic revelation."


Large post 8vo, 6s. net.


THE GATE OF DEATH: a Diary.

SECOND EDITION, WITH A PREFACE, READY FEB. 18.

SPECTATOR.—"A very striking book. … The story of a dangerous accident and a long convalescence is so told as to take powerful hold upon the reader, and it is difficult to lay the book down. It has all the fascination of a confession, a confession which convinces the reader of its essential truth."

edition of his works.
