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._
Such a story will hardly slip through the reader's hands until the last
page is reached, and then as he slowly puts it down, he will be apt to
do a lot of thinking.--_Advance._
It deserves the widest reading, not only as a piece of admirable
writing, but as a powerful presentation of the contemporary American
tragedy.--_The Outlook._
The book as a story is absorbingly interesting; as a moral study it is
not less than great.--_The Interior_, Chicago.

THE GOSPEL OF FREEDOM.
By ROBERT HERRICK.
12mo. Cloth extra, gilt top and side. $1.50.
The motive of the story is that of personal independence in its appeal
especially to the restless, eager, egotistic woman of our new
civilization. The scenes are laid in Paris, Chicago, and Florence.

One of the strongest stories of the summer.... 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 Illustrated Express._
Of more than ordinary literary and artistic merit, and the lesson one
learns from it will no doubt be a wholesome one.
The greatest story of American social life ... ever contributed to
American fiction.--_Inter-Ocean_, Chicago.
