"The title 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.= Illustrated 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 document of startling significance. More than any other writer to-day he is giving us the American novel."--_New York Globe._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY PUBLISHERS, 64-66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK Mr. JACK LONDON'S NOVELS, etc. _Each, in decorated cloth binding, $1.50_ =The Call of the Wild= Illustrated in colors "A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction; a wonderfully perfect bit of work; a book that will be heard of long. The dog's adventures are as exciting as any man's exploits could be, and Mr. London's workmanship is wholly satisfying."--_The New York Sun._ =The Sea-Wolf= Illustrated in colors "Jack London's The Sea-Wolf is marvellously truthful.... Reading it through at a sitting, we have found it poignantly interesting; ... a superb piece of craftsmanship."--_The New York Tribune._ =White Fang= Illustrated in colors "A thrilling story of adventure ... stirring indeed ... and it touches a chord of tenderness that is all too rare in Mr. London's work."--_Record-Herald, Chicago._ =Before Adam= Illustrated in colors "The story moves with a wonderful sequence of interesting and wholly credible events. The marvel of it all is not in the story itself, but in the audacity of the man who undertook such a task as the writing of it.... From an artistic standpoint the book is an undoubted success. And it is no less a success from the standpoint of the reader who seeks to be entertained."--_The Plain Dealer_, Cleveland. _Shorter Stories_ Children of the Frost Faith of Men Tales of the Fish Patrol The Game Moon Face Love of Life THE MACMILLAN COMPANY PUBLISHERS, 64-66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK Mr. WILLIAM STEARNS DAVIS'S NOVELS _Each, in decorated cloth cover, $1.50_ =A Friend of Cæsar=
