The Law of Life.
By Anna McClure Sholl. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
This remarkable novel presents an entirely new and a very entertaining feature of American national and social development. Miss Sholl has sought her inspiration in the life and interests of a large University, as that life is felt and known from the faculty and post-graduate standpoints. The author has brought to this fascinating and unfamiliar subject a close personal knowledge and an enthusiastic appreciation of its possibilities for literary purposes.
“The book is exceptionally interesting.... A genuine touch of dramatic power.”—Harry Thurston Peck.
“An impassioned romance, told with admirable balance; absorbingly interesting and one of the most vital novels of the day.”—Lillian Whiting in the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
“The writer unfolds an every-day tragedy with that touch of inevitableness that we usually associate with the work of the masters.”—New York Evening Telegram.
“A remarkable story in many respects; it makes one think, as well as sympathize, and gives pleasure as a tale as well as stimulates as a problem.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
“The book has not only a literary grace and distinction, but a sympathetic understanding of conditions, a sense of their artistic values; and a strong feeling for that law of life from which the book takes its title.”—Louisville Evening Post.
“Miss Sholl has handled her subject with admirable sureness of touch, with dignity and proper restraint. Her lovers are beings of flesh and blood, not puppets; she faces the problem fully, fearlessly; hence the compelling strength of the story, its exceptional merit as the product of an American pen.”—New York Mail and Express.
