A Friend of Caesar 



By WILLIAM STEARNS DAVIS 



"As a story . . . there can be no question of its success. . . . 

 While the beautiful love of Cornelia and Drusus lies at the 

 sound, sweet heart of the story, to say so is to give a most 

 meagre idea of the large sustained interest of the whole. . . . 

 There are many incidents so vivid, so brilliant, that they fix 

 themselves in the memory." . . . NANCY HUSTON BANKS 

 in The Bookman. 



Jim Hands 



By RICHARD WASHBURN CHILD 



"A big, simple, leisurely moving chronicle of life. The one 

 who relates it is Jim Hands, an Irish- American, patient, honest, 

 shrewd, and as dependable as Gibraltar itself. . . . The 

 ' heady' member of Jim's excellent family is the daughter Kath- 

 erine, whose love affair with the boss's son, Robert, is tenderly 

 and delicately imparted. ... A story study of character in 

 many lights and shadows . . . touches of sublime self-sacrifice 

 and telling pictures of mutual helpfulness and disinterested 

 kindness. ... In its frequent digressions, in its shrewd ob- 

 servations of life, in its genuine humor and large outlook reveals 

 a personality which commands the profoundest respect and ad- 

 miration. Jim is a real man, sound and fine." Daily News. 



A Dark Lantern 



By ELIZABETH ROBINS 



A powerful and striking novel, English in scene, which takes an 

 essentially modern view of society and of certain dramatic situ- 

 ations. The " Dark Lantern " is a brusque, saturnine, strong- 

 willed doctor, who makes wonderful cures, bullies his patients, 

 and is hated and sought after. The book has the absorbing 

 interest of a strong and moving story, varied in its scenes and 

 characters, and sustained throughout on high spiritual, intel- 

 lectual, and emotional planes.
