On the surface this is a story; but that is not the principal thing. Through the pleasant, humorous, kindly talk of the principal character is developed a philosophy of life so simple that it will appeal to every one who thinks at all, yet so comprehensive that it removes many of the difficulties the average person has in trying to conceive what life really is.
=A Certain Rich Man= _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
“This novel has a message for to-day, and for its brilliant character drawing, and that gossipy desultory style of writing that stamps Mr. White’s literary work, will earn a high place in fiction. It is good and clean and provides a vacation from the cares of the hour. It resembles a Chinese play, because it begins with the hero’s boyhood, describes his long, busy life, and ends with his death. Its tone is often religious, never flippant, and one of its best assets is its glowing descriptions of the calm, serene beauties of nature. Its moral is that a magnate never did any real good with money.”--_Oregonian_, Portland, Oregon.
