SHORTER NOTICES
The Meaning of Immortality. By E. S. Ritherdon Clark. Rider and Co. 107 pp. Through Whitcombe and Tombs Ltd.
The author regards his work as an essay in philosophic mysticism. Where he is intelligible, he is, for the most part, extremely commonplace; but a large part of the book will convey no meaning to the general reader.
The Vox Edition of the Works of Jane Austen. (1) Emma, (ii) Mansfield Park. J. M. Dent and Sons Ltd. (5/- net each.)
The third and fourth volumes to be issued in this charming new edition of Jane Austen, illustrated in colour by Maximilien Vox.
(i) Storm House. (ii) Red Silence. By Kathleen Morris. John Murray. (2/- net each.)
Both these novels by the immensely popular Kathleen Norris were first published in 1929 and are now added to Mr Murray's long list of excellent florin reprints. Sinister Eden. By Brian Cottercll. George G. Harrap and Co. Ltd. 272 pp. A tremendous South Sea thriller. Mr Cotterell is the author of the exciting autobiography, "A Modern Sinbad," the colour of which was wrung from experience. That of this story is as vivid. Three Goats on a Bender. By Winifred Birkett. Angus and Robertsen. 269 pp. (6/-.) Quite a pleasant mixture: unforced humour, romance, a little mystery and masquerading, and not more silliness and snob-appeal than can be easily endured. "Punch": Summer Number, 1934. Bradbury, Agnew and Co. Ltd. (1/-.) Full-page coloured drawings by Wallis Mills, Ridgewell, Ghilchik, Arthur Watts, Lewis Baumer, George Morrow, Charles Graves, Fougasse, • Hailstone, and Illingworth. Black and white in profusion. Two Ion;? pieces of funny prose and one pretty piece o£ verse*
