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._

"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
