Celebrate the Centennial of the Birth of William Lloyd Garrison by reading

Garrison, the Non-Resistant

By ERNEST CROSBY

"An exceedingly interesting, well-written, thoughtful sketch of the career of the great abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. The little book is published at this time in order to direct attention to the centenary of its subject's birth, but it is quite welcome on account of its own intrinsic merits."-Chicago Record-Herald.

"The book is rich in quotable passages, and for those who can enjoy a skilful argument waged upon a strictly unconventional point-of-view, it makes uncommonly lively reading."-Philadelphia Record.

"This wise and sane little book. . . . We wish that our space admitted of free quotation from the very wise chapter on the 'Delimitation of Non-Resistance.'"-New Age, London, England.

"Mr. Crosby has written a wholesome book for the times, and we hope that it will have a wide reading."-The Dial, Chicago.

"This little volume will serve an admirable purpose. The author has succeeded remarkably in packing into a small compass the substance of the life and work of the great anti-slavery leader, and has made the book as fascinating as a piece of high-class fiction."-Advocate of Peace, Boston.

16mo., cloth, 144 pages, with portrait of Garrison, 50 cents; by mail, 55 cents.

All the hideous secrets of the great packing plant are disclosed; the bribery of government Inspectors, the corruption of bosses, the awful disregard for human life and the unspeakable depravity of the whole situation are enough to shake even the most apathetic reader to his very depths.

It comes nearer than any book yet published among us to being the Uncle Tom's Cabin" of the social tragedy of our great cities.-Thomas Wentworth Higginson.

THE SAXONS

A Drama of Christianity in the North.

BY EDWIN DAVIES SCHOONMAKER..

Dealing with the attempt on the part of Rome to force Christianity upon the Pagans in the forests of the North.

CRITICAL

It is a work of very exceptional poetic power; quite an original departure, and very impressive in pictorial strokes and forcible dramatic movement. -Prof. RICHARD G. MOULTON.

I read it with strong interest: there is power in the book and many an inrush of noble poetry.EDWIN MARKHAM.

The volume falls noiselessly from the press, but nevertheless its publication is nothing less than an event. Better work than this has not been done in America. In point of scenic vividness, dramatic logic, insight into social and historic meanings, and sheer skill in verse, this Chicago drama is unsurpassed in American literature.-Prof. OSCAR L. TRIGGS.

Many of the passages show a mental and moral energy rare enough in modern verse to be conspicuous.-NEW YORK TIMES' SATURDAY REVIEW.

214 PAGES.

OPINIONS.

It may seem like an overstatement to say that Edwin Davies Schoonmaker's drama of Christianity in the north, "The Saxons," is the finest thing of its kind to appear in America, but such is the verdict confirmed by mature consideration. Only ability of the highest order could have begotten so noble a writing. The dramatic logic is inevitable, the insight into human motive is keen, often delightful. The warp and woof of the drama are shot through and through with essential poetry. The use made of dwarfs, witches and gnomes, is legitimate and is the very realism of phantasy. In fine, the drama is a masterpiece, and its faults are those of genius and not of mediocrity. The play is too good to act, and it is so much better than the novels of the year that it should be bought and read twice.-CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD.

One of the most beautiful spiritual visions of all ages."-Boston Transcript.

"The language is clear and strong, the style vigorous and rhythmical, the thought uplifting."Brooklyn Eagle.

"It is full of many beautiful thoughts."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

"Not only a lovely allegory but a deeply religious lesson."-Louisville Courier-Journal.

"A prose-poem containing a message to the coming man, which teaches that upon the spiritual depends the rise of man to untrammeled development."-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

"The author has impressed upon the work much of his poetical spirit charming in its lofty sentiments."-Philadelphia Record.

"A parable on human yearnings and weaknesses. It is told in prose, in story form, in language that is quaintly tender, sincerely strong....The setting of the book is strictly a modern one; the people in it are very 'up-to-date' in their environments, at least, and they have Twentieth Century problems to confront. Only the thought in the book is imbued with an old-time sweetness, a mellowness which has grown with the years that have passed over the head of the good, gray 'Poet of the Sierras.' This story is an expression of his deepest beliefs and convictions, told in a simple, beautiful way.... Joaquin Miller has enriched the earth with this new book of his."-Houston Post.

NOTICES OF

JOAQUIN MILLER'S

JOAQUIN MILLER.

"In form this work is a romance embodying the author's visions of the city of God that is to be, for the realization of which Jew and Christian join heart and hand. In substance it is a sketch of the social Utopia which in the coming age will be based on Jesus' foundations, as given in the Lord's Prayer and the Sermon on the Mount. . . . The spiritualized affection of a noble man for the noblest of women.

runs through the whole, and 'the City Beautiful' at last appears in form as transcendently ideal as that in the Apocalypse. Taken as a whole, this work, whose chapters, are each introduced by an appropriate poem, is a prose-poem on the evil that is and the good that is to come.-The Outlook.

"In this story there are many fine passages, and, at the heads of chapters, an abundance of splendid verses.... In the total effect of it, this book is a thing of beauty which will be a joy forever."San Francisco Argonaut.

"The story as a whole possesses originality, beauty of thought, of imagery, of literary expression and a fascinating power. . . As a highly finished prose-poem this book is a contribution to American literature worthy of grateful recognition.-Chicago Evening Post.

THE PERVERTS

By William Lee Howard, M.D.

The motif of "The Perverts" is that of developmental moral emaciation and degeneracy. The characters are traced from their faulty inheritance through their early environments and education, and their lives followed as the objective symptoms of their various perversions increase in force and frequency. The leading character is a pervert who is a brilliant student, but whose faulty inheritance gradually shows in the disease dipsomania. Another character shown in truest life is the unfortunate victim of the morphine habit who sinks to the lowest depths of degradation while at the same time her sister is demonstrating her religious hysteria with all the outward signs of piety and all the secret horrors of the fifteenth

century flagellants.
