The Belovéd Vagabond
“‘The Belovéd Vagabond’ is a gently-written, fascinating tale. Make his
acquaintance some dreary, rain-soaked evening and find the vagabond
nerve-thrilling in your own heart.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
Septimus
“Septimus is the joy of the year.”--_American Magazine._
The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne
“A literary event of the first importance.”--_Boston Herald._
“One of those rare and much-to-be-desired stories which keep one
divided between an interested impatience to get on, and an irresistible
temptation to linger for full enjoyment by the way.”--_Life._
Where Love Is
“A capital story told with skill.”--_New York Evening Sun._
“One of those unusual novels of which the end is as good as the
beginning.”--_New York Globe._
The Usurper
“Contains the hall-mark of genius itself. The plot is masterly in
conception, the descriptions are all vivid flashes from a brilliant
pen. It is impossible to read and not marvel at the skilled workmanship
and the constant dramatic intensity of the incident, situations and
climax.”--_The Boston Herald._
Derelicts
“Mr. Locke tells his story in a very true, a very moving, and a very
noble book. If any one can read the last chapter with dry eyes we
shall be surprised. ‘Derelicts’ is an impressive, an important book.
Yvonne is a creation that any artist might be proud of.”--_The Daily
Chronicle._
Idols
“One of the very few distinguished novels of this present book
season.”--_The Daily Mail._
“A brilliantly written and eminently readable book.”--_The London Daily
Telegraph._
A Study in Shadows
“Mr. Locke has achieved a distinct success in this novel. He has struck
many emotional chords, and struck them all with a firm, sure hand. In
the relations between Katherine and Raine he had a delicate problem to
handle, and he has handled it delicately.”--_The Daily Chronicle._
The White Dove
“It is an interesting story. The characters are strongly conceived
and vividly presented, and the dramatic moments are powerfully
realized.”--_The Morning Post._
The Demagogue and Lady Phayre
“Think of Locke’s clever books. Then think of a book as different from
any of these as one can well imagine--that will be Mr. Locke’s new
book.”--_New York World._
At the Gate of Samaria
“William J. Locke’s novels are nothing if not unusual. They are marked
by a quaint originality. The habitual novel reader inevitably is
grateful for a refreshing sense of escaping the commonplace path of
conclusion.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
