“A capital story told with skill.”—New York Evening Sun.

“One of those unusual novels of which the end is as good as the beginning.”—New York Globe.

The Usurper

“Contains the hall-mark of genius itself. The plot is masterly in 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.
