PRESS CRITICISMS:
"We do not purpose to rob the story of the zest which remains for the reading by telling here all the ingenious but reasonable complications which beset this man, how love withers under the unseen blight, how rest forsakes him, how success becomes a satire, and how the impervious will sinks into impotency when beset by intangible and inscrutable forces. It is enough to point out that in this book the author has planted his characters upon an elemental truth, and something of the efficacy of that truth gives a strange fascination and power to the story."--_New York World._
"It is a cleverly wrought and highly interesting novel, constructed upon somewhat unconventional lines. There is just enough medical science and metaphysics in it to give it spice; there are two murders, a trial and conviction of an innocent man on circ.u.mstantial evidence, a series of confidential domestic scenes, and a dash of hypnotism--surely enough to capture the fancy of the inveterate or occasional novel reader. . . . It is a curious but entrancing novel, and once caught in its seductive meshes the reader will find it hard to escape. Incidentally some of Inspector Byrnes' peculiar detective methods are severely satirized."--_The Brooklyn Standard-Union._
"It is clever in its way, but trash."--_The Buffalo Courier._
"It places the author in the foremost rank of American writers of fiction. . . . It will live--a surpa.s.singly clever delineation of a strange phase of human character."--_The London Times._
"Philip Henson, M. D., by George Hastings, is indifferent and mediocre."--_The New York Daily Continent._
"Philip Henson, M. D., is more than clever--it is masterly. In exciting and absorbing interest this book excels the novels of Gaboriau and De Boisgobey, and the sketches and characters are capitally drawn. For example, Inspector Byrnes and his methods have never before been so accurately described."--_The Spirit of the Times._
"A story quite out of the ordinary."--_The Kansas City Journal._
"Very dramatically told, and a well-conceived and thrilling narrative."--_America._
"The plot of Philip Henson, M. D., is remarkably strong and tragic. Mr.
Hastings is a graphic writer."--_The Sacramento Record-Union._
