Horace Blake
ByMrs. Wilfrid WardAuthor of “Great Possessions”$1.35 net. By mail, $1.50“Mrs. Ward has done much excellent work in the past, but she has done nothing to come within measurable distance of this remarkably fine book—a book quite off the ordinary lines, interesting from the first page to the last, founded upon a psychological study of exceptionable power. It is a very common thing in fiction to find ourselves presented to a ‘great character,’ but as a rule we are obliged to accept the creator’s word for his greatness. Mrs. Ward has contrived to make Horace Blake really and indeed great—great in intellect, great in evil, and great, finally, in good. He holds the reader captive just as he is described as holding his world captive.”The World, London.
