Anthony Hope is a man Of the broadcast
interests; he knows the best social life of
England thoroughly; he has wide experience
| In artistic and literary circles; he has at
various times in his career been active in
politics and has been associated with some
of the chief political figures of his time.
AS to the scholarly world, he was himself
| a scholar of distinction when at the uni
versity, and became barrister.
In the whole list of living writers there
can be found none better qualified to pre-
sent in fiction the people of his own day.
Mr.. Hope has the ability to construct
good plot; he is a master of lively dialogue,
and he knows men and women. With these
qualifications he has entered seriously into
field in which Thackeray was great
| master the field of human struggle, the

| grasp upon his material.
