THE WORLD'S ILLUSION. By J. WASSERMANN. Translated by Ludwig Lewisohn.

classes of European society, the second is a very Inferno of the
Slums; and the whole mirrors, with extraordinary insight, the beauty
and sorrow, the power and weakness of our social and spiritual world.

hear."--H. W. Boynton, in the _Weekly Review_.
