"There are three great chapters of fiction: Scott's tournament on Ashby
field, General Wallace's chariot race, and now Maurice Thompson's duel
scene and the raising of Alice's flag over old Fort Vincennes."
_The Chicago Times-Herald says_:
"More original than 'Richard Carvel,' more cohesive than 'To Have and To
Hold,' more vital than 'Janice Meredith,' such is Maurice Thompson's
superb American romance, 'Alice of Old Vincennes.' It is, in addition,
more artistic and spontaneous than any of its rivals."

"A NOVEL THAT'S WORTH WHILE"
_The_ REDEMPTION _of_ DAVID CORSON
By CHARLES FREDERIC GOSS
A Mid-century American Novel of Intense Power and Interest
_The Interior says:_
"This is a book that is worth while. Though it tells of weakness and
wickedness, of love and license, of revenge and remorse in an intensely
interesting way, yet it is above all else a clean and pure story. No one
can read it and honestly ask 'what's the use.'"
_Newell Dwight Hillis, Pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, says:_
"'The Redemption of David Corson' strikes a strong, healthy, buoyant
note.'"
_Dr. F.W. Gunsaulus, President Armour Institute, says:_
"Mr. Goss writes with the truthfulness of light. He has told a story in
which the fact of sin is illuminated with the utmost truthfulness and
the fact of redemption is portrayed with extraordinary power. There are
lines of greatness in the book which I shall never forget."
_President M.W. Stryker, Hamilton College, says:_
"It is a victory in writing for one whose head seems at last to have
matched his big human heart. There is ten times as much of reality in it
as there is in 'David Harum,' which does not value lightly that
admirable charcoal sketch."
