By Melville D. Post
THE STRANGE SCHEMES OF RANDOLPH MASON
"This book is very entertaining and original ... ingeniously constructed
... well worth reading."--_New York Herald._
"One of the best three volumes of stories produced within a year, as
will be recalled by those who are attentive to such matters, is 'The
Strange Schemes of Randolph Mason.' They are stories of adventure in the
every-day field of judicial procedure. The talent required to make
adventures of this order interesting is a rare one, how rare may be
inferred from the fact that almost the only famous example of the kind
in English letters is the trial in that obsolete novel, 'Ten Thousand a
Year.'"--_New York Sun._
THE MAN OF LAST RESORT
"The author makes a strong plea for moral responsibility in his work,
and his vivid style and undeniable earnestness must carry great weight
with all thinking readers. It is a notable book."--_Boston Times._
"Mr. Post has created for himself a new field in literature, just as
Conan Doyle by his Sherlock Holmes created for himself a new field. He
shows in this book that he is not only a lawyer but a story writer of
the very highest skill and literary style. The stories are most
thrilling and hold one's interest to the end."--_Law Students' Journal._
DWELLERS IN THE HILLS
Mr. Post is to be congratulated upon having found a new field for
fiction. The scene of his latest story is laid amidst the hills of West
Virginia. Many of the exciting incidents are based upon actual
experience on the cattle ranges of the south. The story is original,
full of action, and strong with a local color almost entirely new to the
reading public.

"Here we have not only literature, but we have character drawing, humor,
and descriptive powers that Blackmore only equalled once, and that was
in 'Lorna Doone.'... He knows the heart as well as the trees; he knows
men and women as well as he knows nature, and he holds them both in the
hollow of his hand."--_Chicago Tribune._
CHILDREN OF THE MIST
By Eden Phillpotts.
R. D. Blackmore, the author of "Lorna Doone," said of this: "Knowing
nothing of the writer or of his works, I was simply astonished at the
beauty and power of this novel. But true as it is to life and place,
full of deep interest and rare humor
