SPECTATOR COMPETITION No. 179 Set by Horace Wyndham Readers of
bygone best-sellers have often wondered what their authors would have thought of these books if they, instead of the professional critics, had been allowed to review them. Competitors who share this pardonable curiosity are invited, for the usual prize of £5, to give in 150 words the opinion of their own works that would have been expressed by any one of the following : Dean Farrar (Eric, or Little by Little), Sir Hall Caine (The Christian), Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray), Ouida (Under Two Flags), Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Robert Elsmere), Marie Corelli (The Sorrows of. Satan).
Entries must be addressed to the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, London, W.C.1, in envelopes marked " Competition," and must be received not later than July 28th. Results will be printed in the Spectator of August 7th.
