Telegrams : 4-1 and 43 Maddox Street, 1 Scholarly, London. Bond Street, London, W., April, 1908. Mr. Edward Arnolds List of New Books. NEW NOVEL. By the author of The Jungle. THE METROPOLIS. By UPTON SINCLAIR. Third Impression. Crown 8vo. 6s. This is Mr. Upton Sinclairs first new novel since The Jungle,wherein he startled the world with his lurid account of the iniquitiesperpetrated in the American canned meat trade. In The Metropolis he brings a scathing indictment against thevulgar element in New York Society, whose exotic and vicious livesare exposed with all that unrestrained and brilliant relentlessness ofwhich Mr. Sinclair is a master. It will be remembered that a few months ago a report went roundto the effect that Mr. Sinclair had managed to get a situation asbutler in the house of a prominent millionaire, where he was studyingthe occupants with the intention of describing them in a book. Thereport was unfounded, and was denied at the time; but it is quiteclear from this book
