Apologia Diffidentis. An intimate personal book.

Benson's earlier books, yet Mr. Benson at his best has never equalled this. . . . A human document as striking as it is unusual. . . . The impress of truth and wisdom lies deep upon every page."—The Dial.

"We must now all read all of Anatole France. The offer is too good to be shirked. He is just Anatole France, the greatest living writer of French."—Daily Chronicle.

WILLIAM J. LOCKE
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.

"Mr. Locke has achieved a distinct success in this novel. He has struck many emotional chords, and struck them all with a firm, sure hand. In the relations between Katherine and Raine he had a delicate problem to handle, and he has handled it delicately."—The Daily Chronicle.
The White Dove
"It is an interesting story. The characters are strongly conceived and vividly presented, and the dramatic moments are powerfully realized."—The Morning Post.
The Demagogue and Lady Phayre
"Think of Locke's clever books. Then think of a book as different from any of these as one can well imagine that will be Mr. Locke's new book."—New York World.
At the Gate of Samaria
"William J. Locke's novels are nothing if not unusual. They are marked by a quaint originality. The habitual novel reader inevitably is grateful for a refreshing sense of escaping the common place path of conclusion."—Chicago Record-Herald.
