I The Darlingtons 



I By ELMORE ELLIOTT PEAKE 



* 



^ From its close relationship to the life and destiny of the people of 



£ every day affairs, " The Darlingtons " has a kind of interest that is 



f lacking in other fiction. It is typically American — representing the life 



J of American industry and American enterprise. There is in it, too, the 



t lightening touch of a well-defined love element. 



» "A remarkable piece of work." — New York Telegram. 



j, "Will repay the busiest reader for the time necessary for its perusal." 



* — Philadelphia North American. 



* "Mr. Peake has brought out a very characteristic American type which has 

 j, never before had adequate treatment. . . . The Darlingtons might stand for 



* thousands of flourishing families which represent the newer aristocracy of small 

 %. towns in all parts of the country." — Springfield Republican.
