=The Call of the Wild= Ill.u.s.trated in colors
"A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction; a wonderfully perfect bit of work; a book that will be heard of long. The dog's adventures are as exciting as any man's exploits could be, and Mr. London's workmans.h.i.+p is wholly satisfying."--_The New York Sun._
=The Sea-Wolf= Ill.u.s.trated in colors
"Jack London's The Sea-Wolf is marvellously truthful....
Reading it through at a sitting, we have found it poignantly interesting; ... a superb piece of craftsmans.h.i.+p."--_The New York Tribune._
=White Fang= Ill.u.s.trated in colors
"A thrilling story of adventure ... stirring indeed ... and it touches a chord of tenderness that is all too rare in Mr.
London's work."--_Record-Herald, Chicago._
=Before Adam= Ill.u.s.trated in colors
"The story moves with a wonderful sequence of interesting and wholly credible events. The marvel of it all is not in the story itself, but in the audacity of the man who undertook such a task as the writing of it.... From an artistic standpoint the book is an undoubted success. And it is no less a success from the standpoint of the reader who seeks to be entertained."--_The Plain Dealer_, Cleveland.

Mr. WILLIAM STEARNS DAVIS'S NOVELS
_Each, in decorated cloth cover, $1.50_
=A Friend of Caesar=
"As a story ... there can be no question of its success....
While the beautiful love of Cornelia and Drusus lies at the sound sweet heart of the story, to say so is to give a most meagre idea of the large sustained interest of the whole....
There are many incidents so vivid, so brilliant, that they fix themselves in the memory."--NANCY HUSTON BANKS in _The Bookman_.
"=G.o.d Wills It.=" A Tale of the First Crusade. Ill.u.s.trated by Louis Betts
"Not since Sir Walter Scott cast his spell over us with _Ivanhoe, Count Robert of Paris_, and _Quentin Durward_ have we been so completely captivated by a story as by '_G.o.d Wills It_.' It grips the attention of the reader in the first chapter and holds it till the last."--_Christian Endeavor World._
=Falaise of the Blessed Voice.= A Tale of the Youth of St. Louis, King of France
"In this tale of the youth of Louis, King of France and afterward saint in the calendar of the Catholic Church, Mr.
Davis has fulfilled the promises contained in _A Friend of Caesar_ and '_G.o.d Wills It_.' The novel is not only interesting and written with skill in the scenes which are really dramatic, but it is convincing in its character drawing and its a.n.a.lysis of motives."--_Evening Post_, New York.
=A Victor of Salamis.= A Tale of the Days of Xerxes, Leonidas, and Themistocles
"An altogether admirable picture of h.e.l.lenic life and h.e.l.lenic ideals. It is just such a book as will convey to the average reader what is the eternal value of Greek Life to the world ...
carried breathlessly along by a style which never poses, and yet is always strong and dignified.... This remarkable book takes its place with the best of historical fiction. Those who have made their acquaintance with the characters in the days of their youth will find delight in the remembrance. Those who would fain learn something of the golden days of Greece could not do better than use Mr. Davis for guide."--_The Daily Post_, Liverpool.
"It is seldom that the London critics admit that an American may wear the mantle of Scott, but they are declaring that this book ent.i.tles Mr. Davis to a place among novelists not far below the author of _The Talisman_."

MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT'S NOVELS, etc.
(Published originally as by "Barbara," the Commuter's wife)
_Each, in decorated cloth binding, $1.50_
=The Garden of a Commuter's Wife.= Ill.u.s.trated from photographs
"Reading it is like having the entry into a home of the cla.s.s that is the proudest product of our land, a home where love of books and love of nature go hand in hand with hearty simple love of 'folks.'... It is a charming book."--_The Interior._
=People of the Whirlpool= Ill.u.s.trated
"The whole book is delicious, with its wise and kindly humor, its just perspective of the true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people and customs, and its healthy optimism for the great world in general."--_Philadelphia Evening Telegraph._
=The Woman Errant=
"The book is worth reading. It will cause discussion. It is an interesting, fictional presentation of an important modern question, treated with fascinating feminine adroitness."--Miss JEANNETTE GILDER in _The Chicago Tribune_.
=At the Sign of the Fox=
"Her little pictures of country life are fragrant with a genuine love of nature, and there is fun as genuine in her notes on rural character. A travelling pieman is one of her most lovable personages; another is Tatters, a dog, who is humanly winsome and wise, and will not soon be forgotten by the reader of this very entertaining book."--_New York Tribune._
=The Garden, You and I=
"This volume is simply the best she has yet put forth, and quite too deliciously torturing to the reviewer, whose only garden is in Spain.... The delightful humor which persuaded the earlier books, and without which Barbara would not be Barbara, has lost nothing of its poignancy, and would make _The Garden, You and I_ pleasant reading even to the man who doesn't know a pink from a phlox or a _Daphne cneorum_ from a Cherokee rose."--_Congregationalist._
