"Mr. Herrick's finest."--_Omaha Herald._ "Had Ibsen been a novelist, and had he chosen Mr. Herrick's theme in 'The Healer,' he might have written much the same sort of a novel."--_The Dial._ "Of extraordinary vividness--a book of power."--_Chicago Tribune._ "Mr. Herrick has written a novel in which every page has sustained interest, though we think he does not intend the reader to grasp the full moral purport of his story until he reveals it himself in the last paragraph. We credit the writer not only with possessing a high ideal, but also with having carried out his object with great artistic success--two things which are unhappily not often found between the same covers."--_London Athenæum._ "...exceedingly well done."--_Bookman._ "...bears directly upon great evils in society to-day."--_N.Y. Times._ TOGETHER "Scarce a page but is tense and strong."--_Record-Herald._ "A masterpiece of keen vision and vivid depiction."--_Mail._ "An absorbing story ... likely to make a sensation."--_New York Evening Post._ "A book of the first magnitude, that handles a momentous theme boldly, wisely, sympathetically, and with insight."--_The Forum._ A LIFE FOR A LIFE "A serious attempt to treat a big living question in a new way."--_Record-Herald._ THE GOSPEL OF FREEDOM "A novel that may be truly called the greatest study of social life 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._ THE COMMON LOT Is a strong, virile picture of modern business life, with all its temptations to "graft" and its fight for privilege. "A novel which it would be difficult to overpraise."--_Philadelphia Ledger._ "It is by long odds the greatest novel of the autumn."--_The New York American._ THE REAL WORLD "Unusually satisfying.... The hero steadily approaches the dividing line between safety and ruin and you are kept in agitated suspense until the dramatic climax. A number of powerful scenes add color and forcefulness to a story in the main eminently satisfactory."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.
