Illustrated by Florence Scovel Shinn.
A deft blending of love and politics distinguishes this book.

The author has taken for his hero a New Englander, a crude man of the tannery, who rose to political prominence by his own powers, and then surrendered all for the love of a woman.
It is a sermon on civic righteousness, and a love story of a deep motive.
THE CELEBRITY.

An Episode.
An inimitable bit of comedy describing an interchange of personalities between a celebrated author and a bicycle salesman of the most blatant type.

The story is adorned with some character sketches more living than pen work.

It is purest, keenest fun--no such piece of humor has appeared for years: it is American to the core.
THE CRISIS.Illus.by Howard Chandler Christy.
A book that presents the great crisis in our national life with splendid power and with a sympathy, a sincerity, and a patriotism that are inspiring.
