THE CALL OF THE WILD
With Illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull
Decorated by Charles Edward Hopper
"A tale that is literature . . . the unity of its plan and the firmness of its execution are equally remarkable . . . a story that grips the reader deeply. It is art, it is literature. . . . . . . It stands apart, far apart with so much skill, so much reasonableness, so much convincing logic."—N. Y. Mail and Express.
"A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction . . . a wonderfully perfect bit of work. The dog adventures are as exciting as any man's exploits could be, and Mr. London's workmanship is wholly satisfying."—The New York Sun.
"The story is one that will stir the blood of every lover of a life in its closest relation to nature. Whoever loves the open or adventure for its own sake will find 'The Call of the Wild' a most fascinating book."—The Brooklyn Eagle.
THE SEA WOLF
Illustrated by W. J. Aylward
"This story surely has the pure Stevenson ring, the adventurous glamour, the vertebrate stoicism. 'Tis surely the story of the making of a man, the sculptor being Captain Larsen, and the clay, the ease-loving, well-to-do, half-drowned man, to all appearances his helpless prey."—Critic.

THE PILLAR OF LIGHT
"Breathless interest is a hackneyed phrase, but every reader of 'The Pillar of Light' who has red blood in his or her veins, will agree that the trite saying applies to the attention which this story commands.—New York Sun.
THE WINGS OF THE MORNING
"Here is a story filled with the swing of adventure. There are no dragging intervals in this volume: from the moment of their landing on the island until the rescuing crew find them there, there is not a dull moment for the young people—nor for the reader either."—New York Times.
THE KING OF DIAMONDS
"Verily, Mr. Tracy is a prince of story-tellers. His charm is a little hard to describe, but it is as definite as that of a rainbow. The reader is carried along by the robust imagination of the author.—San Francisco Examiner.

The QUEST of HAPPINESS
It is a consummate statement of the highest conception of the nature of human life, and of the only methods by which its meaning and possibilities can be attained. A serene satisfaction with God's method of moral government breathes from every page and makes the teacher trustworthy.—Charles Frederick Goss.
"The Quest of Happiness" is Dr. Hillis' very best book. It is strong, vivid, clear, and has a certain indefinable human quality which will be sure to give it a large circulation and make it a source of great helpfulness.—Amory H. Bradford, Pastor of the First Congregational Church, Montclair, N. J.
I find "The Quest of Happiness" a very rich and beautiful work. It is eminently a book for the home.—Philip S. Moxon, Pastor of South Congregational Church, Springfield, Mass.
HAPPINESS
Great numbers of thoughtful people are just now much perplexed to know what to make of the facts of life, and are looking around them for some reasonable interpretation of the modern world. To this state of mind the reflections of Prof. Hilty have already brought much reassurance and composure.

⸿ The hero is a young New Yorker of good parts who, to save an inheritance of seven millions, starts out to spend a fortune of one million within a year. An eccentric uncle, ignorant of the earlier legacy, leaves him seven millions to be delivered at the expiration of a year, on the condition that at that time he is penniless, and has proven himself a capable business man, able to manage his own affairs. The problem that confronts Brewster is to spend his legacy without proving himself either reckless or dissipated. He has ideas about the disposition of the seven millions which are not those of the uncle when he tried to supply an alternative in case the nephew failed him. His adventures in pursuit of poverty are decidedly of an unusual kind, and his disappointments are funny in quite a new way. The situation is developed with an immense amount of humor.
