The Second Generation.

Illustrated.  Cloth, $1.50.

“The Second Generation” is a double-decked romance in one volume, telling the two love-stories of a young American and his sister, reared in luxury and suddenly left without means by their father, who felt that money was proving their ruination and disinherited them for their own sakes.  Their struggle for life, love and happiness makes a powerful love-story of the middle West.

“The book equals the best of the great story tellers of all time.”—­Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“‘The Second Generation,’ by David Graham Phillips, is not only the most important novel of the new year, but it is one of the most important ones of a number of years past.”—­Philadelphia Inquirer.

“A thoroughly American book is ‘The Second Generation.’. . .  The characters are drawn with force and discrimination.”—­St. Louis Globe Democrat.

“Mr. Phillips’ book is thoughtful, well conceived, admirably written and intensely interesting.  The story ‘works out’ well, and though it is made to sustain the theory of the writer it does so in a very natural and stimulating manner.  In the writing of the ‘problem novel’ Mr. Phillips has won a foremost place among our younger American authors.”—­Boston Herald.
