Mr. ROBERT HERRICK'S NOVELS Cloth, extra, gilt tops, each, $l.$O The Gospel of Freedom " A novel that may truly be called the greatest study of social life, in a broad and very much up-to-date sense, 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 Real World "The title of the book has a subtle intention. It indicates, and is true to the verities in doing so, the strange dreamlike quality of life to the man who has not yet fought his own battles, or come into conscious possession of his will only such battles bite into the consciousness." Chicago Tribune. The Common Lot " 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. The Memoirs of an American Citizen* illustrated with about fifty drawings by F. B. Masters. " Mr. Herrick's book is a book among many, and he comes nearer to reflecting a certain kind of recognizable, contemporaneous American spirit than anybody has yet done." New York Times. " Intensely absorbing as a story, it is also a crisp, vigorous document of startling significance. More than any other writer to-day he is giving us the American novel." New York Globe. Together "Journeys end in lovers meeting," says the old saw; so all novels used to end in marriage. Yet Mr. Herrick's interesting new novel only begins there; the best brief description of it is, indeed, a novel about married people for all who are married.
