Part 57

BY NORMAN DUNCAN

"Mr. Duncan is deserving of much praise for this, his first novel.... In his descriptive passages Mr. Duncan is sincere to the smallest detail. His characters are painted in with bold, wide strokes.... Unlike most first novels, 'Doctor Luke' waxes stronger as it progresses."--N. Y. Evening Post.

James MacArthur, of Harper's Weekly, says: "I am delighted with 'Doctor Luke.' So fine and noble a work deserves great success."

"A masterpiece of sentiment and humorous characterization. Nothing more individual, and in its own way more powerful, has been done in American fiction.... The story is a work of art."--The Congregationalist.

Joseph B. Gilder, of The Critic, says: "I look to see it take its place promptly among the best selling books of the season."

"It fulfills its promise of being one of the best stories of the season. Mr. Duncan evidently is destined to make a name for himself among the foremost novelists of his day.... Doctor Luke is a magnetic character, and the love story in which he plays his part is a sweet and pleasant idyl.... The triumph of the book is its character delineation."--Chicago Record-Herald.

Miss Bacon, Literary Editor of The Booklover's Library, says: "Of all the stories I have read this Autumn there is none that I would rather own."

"Norman Duncan's novel is a great enterprise, and will probably prove to be the greatest book yet produced by a native of Canada."--Toronto Globe.

Denizens of the Deep

By FRANK T. BULLEN

There is a new world of life and intelligence opened to our knowledge in Mr. Bullen's stories of the inhabitants of the sea. He finds the same fascinating interest in the lives of the dwellers in the deep as Thompson Seton found in the lives of the hunted ashore, and with the keenness and vigor which characterized his famous book "The Cruise of The Cachalot" he has made a book which, being based upon personal observation, buttressed by scientific facts and decorated by imagination, is a storehouse of information--an ideal romance of deep sea folk and, as The Saturday Times-Review has said, worth a dozen novels.

Not the least attractive feature of an unusually attractive volume is the series of illustrations by Livingston Bull and others.

Without exaggeration and with perfectly consistent naturalness Mrs. Sangster has produced two pieces of realism of a most healthy sort, demonstrating conclusively that novels may be at once clean and wholesome yet most thoroughly alive and natural. As with all her work, Mrs. Sangster exhibits her splendid skill and excellent taste, and succeeds in winning and holding her readers in these two books which treat of the life of today.

"If ever there was an author whose personality shone through her work, Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster is that author. Mrs. Sangster has written a novel with a moral purpose. That was to be expected, but it was also to be expected that the story would be free from hysteria and intolerance, filled with gentle humor, sane common sense and warm human sympathy, and saturated with cheerful optimism. The book fulfills the expectation."--The Lamp.

Essays Fiction

By JAMES M. LUDLOW

INCENTIVES FOR LIFE. Personal and Public. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, $1.25 net.

"Dr. Ludlow shows versatility and rare culture in this book of essays. From the first page one is impressed with the beautifully clear style, the brilliant thought which flashes through every sentence, and the marvelous storehouse of illustration from which the author draws. The vital importance of will power in the formation of character, and the incentives which lie back of it as motives to action, are set forth with vigor and power."--Christian Observer.

DEBORAH. A Tale of the Times of Judas Maccabaeus. By the author of "The Captain of the Janizaries." 12mo, cloth, illustrated, $1.50

"Deborah is a genuine Jewess, noble, brilliant, loving and lovely."--Congregationalist.

"Nothing in the class of fiction to which 'Deborah' belongs, the class of which 'Ben Hur' and 'Captain of the Janizaries' are familiar examples, exceeds the early chapters of this story in vividness and rapidity of action. The book as a whole has vigor and color."--The Outlook.
