THE WEB OF LIFE.
By ROBERT HERRICK,
_Author of "The Gospel of Freedom," etc._
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50.
Like his earlier book, "The Gospel of Freedom," which was hailed as "the great American social novel," this deals with social conditions in the young West.
One of the strongest stories of the summer.... 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 Ill.u.s.trated Express._
Of more than ordinary literary and artistic merit, and the lesson one learns from it will no doubt be a wholesome one.
The greatest story of American social life ... ever contributed to American fiction.--_Inter-Ocean_, Chicago.
As a story it is absorbing.--_The Bookman._
Most emphatically worth reading.--_Boston Budget._

THE REAL WORLD
By ROBERT HERRICK,
Author of "The Web of Life," "The Gospel of Freedom," etc.
Cloth 12 mo $1.50
"It is unfortunate for our latter-day fiction that there are not more such strong, well-balanced books being brought out. Such work as Professor Herrick's is creative."--_Denver Republican._
"The conception is thoughtful, the character-drawing masterly at times, and always intelligent and careful, while toward the end the emotional interests become absorbing. The most striking thing about Mr. Herrick is perhaps the absolute unconventionality of his notions. His characters are not types, they are people; and he is not so much studying a problem as recording facts. The consequence is that the course of his stories is usually as original as real life. Another strong characteristic of his is a subtle, almost feminine knowledge of character."--_Was.h.i.+ngton Times._
"The t.i.tle of the book, 'The Real World,' 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._
"Intellectually 'The Real World' is an exceptionally powerful work ...
prominently among the season's best books."--_Boston Courier._
