 The most effective judgment of a book, whatever this or that critic may say, is that given by the general pub- lie. The great and continued demand for the book Uncle Terry" proves be- yond a question that the public rank Charles Clark Mum nigh among the most popular American novelists, and his position will be much strengthened by his latest work, "Rockhaven. This has all the "heart interest of Uncle Terry" and all it's poetic appreciation of nature, while being far stronger In plot | and more extended and powerful in it's character drawing. In Jesse Hutton" a character is created that will attract and hold both old and young as few characters in American fiction have done The love story of Winn and Mona, interwoven as it Is with the great financial scheme which furnishes much of the theme of the story, is a master piece of both strength and delicacy. The shifting of scene from the restful ness of "Rockhaven" to city life, in ,luding a most graphic and dramatic of one of it's most intense episodes, panic in the stock market, with occasional returns to the pie .uresque island, keeps up the keenest interest throughout. The superb style n which the book is gotten up, and MT. Ierrill's fine llustra tions, help it to be me of the most attractive novels in ap- ever issued. The remarkably arge advance orders proved the interest { if the public in this book. and the en- oyment it will give should equal all ex- ,ectation Price $50, subject to the ( lew agreement of the American Pub ( shers' Association regarding fiction, ( ,1,,;ae fpY ealn at TuHde
