Rust of Gold. By Francis Prevost. Crown 8vo, art canvas, 5s.

"A series of nine _fin de siecle_ stories of great power and

tragical potentialities of modern life, as lived by people of
culture and refinement, been more graphically illustrated than in
'Grass upon the Housetops,' 'The Skirts of Chance,' and 'False
Equivalents.' As word-pictures they are simply
masterpieces."--_Daily Telegraph._

plots and police cases, and he has succeeded in capturing our
attention, and never letting it go, from the first story to the
last."--_The Bookman._
