DAN. BEARD S MOONBLIGHT
AND SIX FEET OF ROMANCE

WITH FIFTY PICTURES BY THE AUTHOR

In this story a coal-mine owner, by the help of a curious old book of “black magic,” becomes strangely
endowed with the power of seeing things as they really are.
The Pittsburg Leader says: “The tale is bound to absorb the interest of its readers, especially those who are familiar with the
mines and miners. The appendix is a most striking feature of the volume, for here the author marshals an appalling array of facts as
grave as they are authoritative in character ”
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says: “ ‘ Moonblight’ is a story with an economic moral, and its lesson is much needed.”
The Nebraska Independent says: “ It is an eye-opener on the question of monopoly. . . . The introduction will give the reader
food for thought many a day. . . . Dan. Beard illustrates his own text as only Dan. Beard can do it.”
Dull-surfaced all-rag paper, hand-sewed, 254 pages. _ With an introductory study by Mr. Louis F. Post,
editor of The Public, of Chicago; and an appendix. Price, $1.25 net; postage, 10 cents.

HOW ENGLAND AVERTED A
REVOLUTION OF FORCE
By B. O. FLOWER

morally helpful books. . . . The story of these great and pivotal
years is vividly told.”

hope, as it anticipates victory over oppression and wrong.”
The Nashville Banner says : “ As a work of history it is invalu-
able. . . . Mr. Flower, unlike most reformers, possesses that
fair, judicial spirit so essential to the historian. The reader may
not always agree with him, but he cannot fail to find this new book
one of extreme interest, if for no other reason, then because of the
striking resemblance of conditions existing then, and those obtain-
ing in our own country to-day.”
