WORKS BY COULSON KERNAHAN
SORROW AND SONG.
Fifth Edition, Crown 8vo, buckram, 3s. 6d.
ATHENÆUM (four-column review commencing on first page): "These essays are eloquently and often poetically written, and the critcism is, we think, mainly just."
"A tribute (the paper on Marston) of singular beauty and tenderness, but at the same time full of critical insight."
A DEAD MAN’S DIARY.
Sixth Edition, Twenty-eighth Thousand Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 3s. 6d.
MRS. LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON on Syndicate Article on "Four Modern Men": "A book which must certainly be accounted one of the pronounced literary successes of the time. It has gone through various editions in America, as well as in England, and I think no one who has read it could ever quite escape from its haunting spell. It contains passages of poetic prose, which no love of the beautiful will overlook, and its appeal to the consciences of men is even more strenuous. I am not surprised to learn that the first English edition of 2,000 copies was exhausted a few days after publication.
A BOOK OF STRANGE SINS.
Seventh Edition, Fifteenth Thousand, Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 3s., 6d.
THE ACADEMY: "Such books are among the healthiest symptoms, not only of modern literature, but of modern thought They are on the crest of the wave, whether we regard them from the artistic or the ethical standpoint. Mr. Kernahan’s plummet essays to sound the very depths of the human soul. … His book is a fine one, and we think it will live."
THE SKETCH: "The daring freshness of his thought, his great ability in expressing it, his contempt for common tradition, the sincerity which exudes from every page of his work, captivate the reader. I do not know of any piece of prose which opens up so many great questions in so few ones as the story ‘A Lost Soul,’ nor one which is more forcibly realistic and impressive than ‘The Apples of Sin.’"
