JAMES LANE ALLEN, Author of _The Choir Invisible_, writes of _The
Forest Lovers_: "This work, for any one of several solid reasons,
must be regarded as of very unusual interest. In the matter of style
alone, it is an achievement, an extraordinary achievement. Such a
piece of English prose, saturated and racy with idiom, compact and
warm throughout as living human tissues, well deserves to be set
apart for grateful study and express appreciation.... In the matter
of interpreting nature there are passages in this book that I have
never seen surpassed in prose fiction."

THE
GOSPEL OF FREEDOM
By ROBERT HERRICK
AUTHOR OF "THE MAN WHO WINS," "LITERARY LOVE LETTERS, AND OTHER STORIES"
_DAILY MAIL._--"Distinctly enjoyable and suggestive of much
profitable thought."
_SCOTSMAN._--"The book has a deal of literary merit, and is well
furnished with clever phrases."
_ATHENÆUM._--"Remarkably clever.... The writing throughout is clear,
and the story is well constructed."
W. D. HOWELLS in _LITERATURE_.--"A very clever new novel."
_GUARDIAN._--"The novel is well written, and full of complex
interests and personalities. It touches on many questions and
problems clearly and skilfully."
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"A book which entirely interested us for the
whole of a blazing afternoon. He writes uncommonly well."
_BOOKMAN._--"The excellence of Mr. Herrick's book lies not in the
solution of any problem, nor in the promulgation of any theory, nor
indeed in any form of docketing and setting apart of would-be final
answers to the enigmas of existence. He simply tells a story and
leaves us to draw what conclusion we like. The admirable thing is
that his story is a particularly interesting one, and that he tells
it remarkably well.... There are some delightful minor characters."
_MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._--"The characters, all American, have
originality and life. The self-engrossed Adela is so cleverly drawn
that we are hardly ever out of sympathy with her aspirations, and
Molly Parker, the 'womanly' foil, is delightful."
