 John Long's New & Forthcoming Books SIX SHILLING NOVELS Continued ONE EVENTFUL SUMMER By ETHEL GRACE TAPNER " One Eventful Summer " is the work of a new writer, but not since the days of " Lorna Doone " has a story been written which conveys so much of the subtle charm of Devonshire. The central idea of the story is whimsical, but there is comedy and tragedy in it love and laughter and tears. " One Eventful Summer " differs essentially from fiction in general, and upon that account, as well as upon its undoubted intrinsic merits, it will be greatly appreciated by those who are fortunate enough to read the book. A HUMAN BACILLUS By ROBERT EUSTACE A story that will make some demand upon the nerves of the reader, and leave behind it a burning remembrance. Such is "A Human Bacillus." It describes the life and love of a strange being partly genius, partly saint, and partly madman whose subtle acts of renunciation and revenge lead to an extraordinary denouement. The story is written by Robert Eustace, who is well known as the collaborator of L. T. Meade in " The Brotherhood of the Seven Kings," "The Sanctuary Club," "The Sorceress of the Strand," etc. INCAPABLE LOVERS, LIMITED By W. W. WARD A new work of humour is rare in these days, and if the humour is of the right sort if it is wholesome and natural and unforced such a book is something to be thankful for. " Incapable Lovers " is written in great good spirits, and the characters and incidents sparkle and bubble over with delightful fun. Not since the days of " Three Men in a Boat " has so popular and infectious a work of humour appeared. JOHN LONG, 12, 13 & 14 Norris Street, Hay market, London
