"It is written in a style unknown nowadays, ... with an impressive power revealed at each crisis of the tale, which makes the pulses stir and the eye glisten. What a book for the opening of the twentieth century!"--Julian Hawthorne, in the _Journal_, New York. "A very striking book, and one that I am quite sure will take an enviable place in line with record-breakers. It is the third of the 'American Novel Series,' and is entitled 'Martin Brook.' I finished it at one sitting, so intense was my interest in it."--_Buffalo Commercial_, N.Y. "The third of the 'American Novel Series,' 'Martin Brook,' by Morgan Bates, appeals to the best in man and woman, and is a credit alike to author and publishers.... 'Martin Brook' is indeed an American novel, and of the best kind."--Philadelphia _Daily Evening Telegraph_. "One's interest is caught and held by the hero from the moment of his first appearance in its pages.... There has not been a stronger scene [the library scene] written to revive the interest of jaded novel readers for many a day."--_N.Y. Commercial Advertiser_. "The story is told in a vigorous manner, and is certainly out of the common run of fiction as it is told nowadays."--_New York Sun_. _Comments from various reviewers_: "One of the most refreshing and natural of novels." "As good as it is charming." "A story of depth, color, and action." "It is refreshing to light upon a story like 'Martin Brook.'" _Post 8vo._ _Cloth, Ornamented, $1.50_ A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES BY GERALDINE ANTHONY _This is the fourth of the twelve One-a-Month American Novels to be published during 1901._ "It plunges the reader directly into the social whirl of New York, and the hand that detains one there all through an intensely interesting succession of functions, flirtations, and incidents, ... is the hand of one who has seen something whereof she writes."--_New York World_. "There is more than one thinly disguised portrait in its pages--so we are told."--_Mail and Express_, New York. "Bobby Floyd is probably the most disagreeable and wholly exasperating cad ever put into an American novel.... There is love-making all through the book."--_The Times_, Washington, D.C. "They fall in love amid most delightful surroundings of tennis, boating, and driving."--_Exchange_. _Comments from various reviewers_: "Devoid of problems or mental complications." "A book for a summer day." "Has the correct New York social atmosphere." "Decidedly a fascinating book about attractive people." "Full of touch-and-go conversation." "They all revel in smart talk and repartee." _Post 8vo._ _Cloth, Ornamented, $1.50_ DAYS LIKE THESE BY EDWARD W. TOWNSEND _This is the fifth of the twelve One-a-Month American Novels to be published during 1901._
