* THE FIRST NOVEL LIBRARY
* Mr Fisher Unwin has projected a new series, to be called 'The First Novel library.' As the title indicates, it will consist of the first novels of such new authors as show exceptional talent.
* —Athenæum
* Each Volume Crown 8vo, Cloth, 6s.
* Opinions of the Press
* Mr Fisher Unwin has had several happy ideas for series of novels. Now Mr Unwin makes a new venture with The First Novel Library.... It is a speculative enterprise, in the execution of which Mr Unwin's reader certainly deserves sympathy.
* —The Times
* Mr Fisher Unwin has shown a very dark and cunning knowledge of human nature in starting The First Novel Library. The
* first novel is almost certain to be, whatever else it is, full of industry and solemnity and fire...Mr Fisher Uowin is very wise to capture clever people while they still imagine that it is difficult to be clever.
* —Mr C. K. CHESTERTON in The World.
* If all future issues in 'The First Novel Library' are equal to the opening volume of the series, there should be no doubt about its great success.
* —Publishers Circular
* If Mr Unwin will promise us that future instalments shall be in any respect equal to the first, we fancy that even the most cautious will be inclined to invest in six shillings' worth of unstaled genius. We like to fancy the procession of Mr Unwin's
* green-robed candidates for fame.

* THE FIRST NOVEL LIBRARY
* Crown 8vo, Cloth, 6s.
* Vol. I—Wistons. A Story in Three Parts
* By Miles Amber
* A piece of very fine workmanship... Whoever wrote 'Wistons' (Miles Amber does not convince me) has a genuine talent, and offers us in a first work, which is certainly not a first effort, something better than unusual promise—unusual acheivements
* —Speaker
* An admirable piece of work, full of sheer insight and the sense of beauty, and written in a style whose austerity has a singular effectiveness.
* —Academy
* Vol. II—The Searchers. A Story in Four Books
* By Margaretta Byrde
* A novel that deserves, and will command, attention. It is vital and honest, and full of good stuff.
* —Pilot
* IAN MACLAREN, Author of "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush" writes: "The book is distinguished by insight into character, felicity of style, and a fine spirit of religion."
* Vol. III—From Behind The Arras.
* By Mrs. Philip Champion de Crespigny
* It is no more than justice to say that Mrs De Crespigny's first novel is in no way inferior even to the best work of Mr Stanley Weyman.
* —St. James's Gazette
* Vol. IV—A Lady's Honour. A Chronicle of Events in the Time of Marlborough.
* By Bass Blake
* Decidely a success
* —Spectator
* Bass Blake, who is well worthy of his place in this gallery, has written a dashing and picturesque tale of Marlborough's wars. 'A Lady's Honour' is full of honest and picturesque writing.
* —Bookman
* Vol. V—The Flame and the Flood.
* By Rosamond Langbridge
* There is power, and the promise of greater, in the new volume of 'The First Novel Series.'...A novel full of poignant keenness of mind and right intuition as to human feeling....This novel is a remarkable achievement.
* —Vanity Fair
* This new author is a hero story-teller....We whole-heartedly like this first effort, and shall look eagerly for a second.
* —Manchester Guardian

* By Mrs Aubrey Richardson
