Mr. ROBERT HERRICK'S NOVELS
The Gospel of Freedom
”A novel that may truly be called the greatest study of social life, in a broad and very much up-to-date sense, that has ever been contributed to American fiction.”--_Chicago Inter-Ocean_.
The Web of Life
”It is strong in that it faithfully depicts many phases of American life, and uses them to strengthen a web of fiction, which is most artistically wrought out.”--_Buffalo Express_.
Jock o' Dreams, or The Real World
”The t.i.tle of the book has a subtle intention. It indicates, and is true to the verities in doing so, the strange dreamlike quality of life to the man who has not yet fought his own battles, or come into conscious possession of his will--only such battles bite into the consciousness.”--_Chicago Tribune_.
The Common Lot
”It grips the reader tremendously.... It is the drama of a human soul the reader watches ... the finest study of human motive that has appeared for many a day.”--_The World To-day_.
The Memoirs of an American Citizen. Ill.u.s.trated with about fifty drawings by F. B. Masters.
”Mr. Herrick's book is a book among many, and he comes nearer to reflecting a certain kind of recognizable, contemporaneous American spirit than anybody has yet done.”--_New York Times._
”Intensely absorbing as a story, it is also a crisp, vigorous doc.u.ment of startling significance. More than any other writer to-day he is giving us _the_ American novel.”--_New York Globe_.
Together
”The thing is straight from life.... The spirit of the book is in the end bracing and quickening.”--_Chicago Evening Post._
”An able book, remarkably so, and one which should find a place in the library of any woman who is not a fool.”--_New York American_.
THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York
Mr. WINSTON CHURCHILL'S NOVELS
Mr. Crewe's CareerIll.u.s.trated
”Another chapter in his broad, epical delineation of the American spirit ... It is an honest and fair story ...It is very interesting: and the heroine is a type of woman as fresh, original and captivating as any that has appeared in American novels for a long time past.”--_The Outlook, New York._
”Shows Mr. Churchill at his best. The flavor of his humor is of that stimulating kind which a.s.serts itself just the moment, as it were, after it has pa.s.sed the palate ... As for Victoria, she has that quality of vivid freshness, tenderness, and independence which makes so many modern American heroines delightful.”--_The Times_, London.
The Celebrity. An Episode
”No such piece of inimitable comedy in a literary way has appeared for years... It is the purest, keenest fun.”--_Chicago_ _Inter-Ocean_.
