The Story of a "Sixpenny Doctor" in the East end of London. The

realism of life as it is, and not as imagined.

The Belovéd Vagabond

Record-Herald._

beginning."--_New York Globe._

WILLIAM J. LOCKE
The Usurper
"Contains the hall-mark of genius itself. The plot is masterly
conception, the descriptions are all vivid flashes from a brilliant
pen. It is impossible to read and not marvel at the skilled
workmanship and the constant dramatic intensity of the incident,
situations and climax."--_The Boston Herald._
Derelicts
"Mr. Locke tells his story in a very true, a very moving, and a
very noble book. If any one can read the last chapter with dry eyes
we shall be surprised. 'Derelicts' is an impressive, an important
book. Yvonne is a creation that any artist might be proud
of."--_The Daily Chronicle._
Idols
"One of the very few distinguished novels of this present book
season."--_The Daily Mail._
"A brilliantly written and eminently readable
book."--_The London Daily Telegraph._
A Study in Shadows
"Mr. Locke has achieved a distinct success in this novel. He has
struck many emotional chords, and struck them all with a firm, sure
hand. In the relations between Katherine and Raine he had a
delicate problem to handle, and he has handled it
delicately."--_The Daily Chronicle._
The White Dove
"It is an interesting story. The characters are strongly conceived
and vividly presented, and the dramatic moments are powerfully
realized."--_The Morning Post._
The Demagogue and Lady Phayre
"Think of Locke's clever books. Then think of a book as different
from any of these as one can well imagine--that will be Mr. Locke's
new book."--_New York World._
At the Gate of Samaria
"William J. Locke's novels are nothing if not unusual. They are
marked by a quaint originality. The habitual novel reader
inevitably is grateful for a refreshing sense of escaping the
commonplace path of conclusion."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
