MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.—"The characters, all American, have originality and life. The self-engrossed Adela is so cleverly drawn that we are hardly ever out of sympathy with her aspirations, and Molly Parker, the 'womanly' foil, is delightful."

THE
GENERAL MANAGER'S
STORY
By HERBERT ELLICOTT HAMBLEN
ILLUSTRATED
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—"Remarkable for the fulness of its author's knowledge.... Nor does the interest of Mr. Hamblen's volume depend solely on its vivid account of sensational escapes and dramatic accidents, though there is no lack of exciting incidents of this kind in his story.... What charmed us chiefly in the story was the close and exact account of the everyday working of a great railroad.... There was not a page that we did not find full of interest and instruction. It was all real, and most of it new, while Mr. Hamblen's vivid and straightforward style does much to enhance the intrinsic merits of his narrative.... We venture to think that no one will be able to leave the breathless and realistic account of such an episode as the chase of the runaway engine—not a figment of the imagination, but a sober and hideous fact, accounted for and explained by the most intelligible of mechanical reasons—without a thrill of genuine excitement."
