ightful; therefore it is easy to make the deduction that
'Clementina' is the best piece of work he has done."--_New York Evening
Sun_

"Among the novels of the past five years no books have more consistently
produced an effect at once certain, satisfactory and delightful than
those of William J. Locke. This latest addition to his shelf is full of
life and laughter and the love not only of man for woman but of man for
man and for humanity. Mr. Locke is a born story-teller and a master of
the art of expression."--_The Outlook_

"The book contains a mass of good material, with original
characterization, and is written in a style piquant and clever."--_The
Literary Digest_

"A story containing the essence of humanity, with an abundance of
sensible and sensitive, casual and unobtrusive commentary upon life and
man, and especially upon woman."--_Boston Evening Transcript_

"It contains even more of the popular qualities than are usually
associated with the writings of this noted author."--_Boston Times_

"Mr. Locke's flights into the realms of fancy have been a delight to
many readers. He has a lightness of touch that is entirely captivating,
and his remarkable characterization of inconsequent people gives them a
reality that is very insistent."--_Baltimore Evening Sun_

"Never has he drawn so deeply from that well that is the human heart;
never so near those invisible heights which are the soul; and, if we are
not altogether mistaken, 'The Glory of Clementina' will also prove to be
that of its author."--_Baltimore News_

"A fascinating story with delicate, whimsical touches."--_Albany
Times-Union_

"The book seems destined to live longer than any written by the author
to date, because it is so sane and so fundamentally
true."--_Philadelphia Enquirer_

"Mr. Chesterton has undertaken in this quaint narrative to make
burlesque the vehicle of a sermon and a philosophy. It is all a part of
the author's war upon artificial attitudes which enclose the living men
like a shell and make for human purposes a dead man of him. He speaks
here in a parable--a parable of his own kind, having about it a broad
waggishness like that of Mr. Punch and a distinct flavor
