BY EDMUND BOISGILBERT, M. D.
[IGNATIUS DONNELLY]

This wonderful book was first issued in June, 1890. The name on the title page was Edmund Boisgilbert, M. D., and it was given out that this was a pseudonym. The leading magazines and reviews, with one exception, and many of the great newspapers entirely ignored the book, and everything at first was against its success. It created the most profound in

terest, however, among those who read it, and soon became talked about. JULIAN HAWTHORNE, BISHOP POTTER, FRANCES E. WILLARD and others spoke highly of it, and CARDINAL GIBBONS praised it as an example of the highest literary form. OPIE P. READ summed up its charm in these words: "It will thrill a careless reader of novels, or profoundly impress a statesman. It is gentle as a child and yet it is rugged as a giant." In six months "Cæsar's Column" passed through twelve editions, and considerable guessing was done as to the real name of the author, among those prominently named being Judge Tourgee, Mark Twain, T. V. Powderly, Robert G. Ingersoll, Chauncey M. Depew, Benj. F. Butler and others. In December it was finally announced that Ignatius Donnelly, author of "Atlantis," "Ragnarok" and "The Great Cryptogram," was also the author of "Cæsar's Column." Mr. Donnelly had escaped general suspicion because his previous writings are more distinguished by laborious industry and wide information than by the qualities that go to make the creator of romances.

"In 'Cæsar's Column' Mr. Donnelly takes as his text the dangerous tendencies of our age and gives a picture of what the world will be a hundred years from now, if the spirit of invention and material progress remains the same and the moral spirit of society moves along in its present channels. The San Francisco Chronicle aptly says: In a startlingly original and fascinating novel he presents a profound study of sociological conditions.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY.

"A Gabriel's trump."-FRANCES E. WILLARD.

"A very extraordinary production."-RT. REV. HENRY C. POTTER. "The effect of an honest purpose is felt in every line.”—Pioneer Press.

As an example of the highest literary form it deserves unstinted praise."-CARDINAL GIBBONS.

"A wonderfully fascinating book. It will hold the attention of the world as no other book has held it for years.”—Chicago Saturday Blade.

"Cæsar's Column,' in its vivid portrayal, will lead many to realize the many dangers to which our country is liable."-HON. WM. Larrabee.

"I was unable to lay it down until I had finished reading it. It should be read by every farmer in the land."-H. L. LOUCKS, President National Farmers' Alliance.

Bellamy looks backward upon what is impossible as well as improbable. 'Cæsar's Column' looks forward to what is not only possible, but probable."-MILTON GEORGE.

"I have read Cæsar's Column' twice and am convinced that it has been written in the nick of time. * I predict for the book an immense sale and a world-wide discussion."-Corinne S. BROWN, Secretary Nationalist Club, Chicago.

"The story is most interestingly devisea and strongly told. It is not the work of a pessimist or an anarchist, but rather of preacher who sees the dangers that all thoughtful men see in our time, and, appreciating the importance to humanity of maintaining what is good in existing systems, utters his warning as a sacred duty."-Free Press.

"The book points out tendencies which actually exist and are in need of cure. It warns us with vehemence and force of the necessity of guarding our liberties against the encroachments of monopoly and plutocracy, and of disarming corruption in government by every device that a vigilant ingenuity can supply.”—George CARY EGGLESTON, in New York World.

• The most remarkable and thought-provoking novel that the disturbed industrial and social conditions of the present have produced. * ** The purpose of this book is to arrest attention-to make men think wisely and act justly, and with dispatch. The write holds it as a signal of danger before the on-coming train. Will the warning be needed?"-The Arena.

"The author writes with tremendous feeling and great imaginative power. The picture gives in startling colors what would be the case if many of our business methods and social tendencies were to move

un unimpeded to their legitimate results. The book is a plea, and a striking one. Its plot is bold, its language is forceful, and the great uprising is given with terrible vividness.”—Public Opinion.

"Intense, stirring and eloquent.

No such book has ever before appeared in the annals of literature. Its story is here and there brightened by the sweetness of a pure love, but the general tone is one which should make every honest heart shiver for the future. The truth peers out from every page. No man will read this book without a new sense of duty and responsibility to his country."-The Great West.

"One of the wonderful features of this wonderful book is that it anticipated Dr. Koch's great discovery. It represents a philosopher living a hundred years from now as finding out that all bacteria are accompanied by minute hostile forms of life that prey upon them; that these preserve the balance of nature, and by destroying the other bacilli which infest the animal world, prevent the utter destruction of man."-Book Talk.

"It is exceedingly interesting as a narrative and is written by a man of thought, learning and imagination. I consider it the best work of its class, since Bulwer's 'Coming Race.' I was impressed with the power of the book-the vividness and strength with which the incidents of the tale are described and developed. The plot is absorbing, and yet nothing in it seems forced. The conception of the " 'Column' is as original as its treatment is vigorous. There is no padding in the book; the events are portrayed tersely and clearly. The analysis is reasonable and sagacious, and the breadth of the author's mind, as well as his careful study of social conditions, is made evident by his treatment of the discussions put into the mouths of his characters. Justice is done to each side."-JULIAN HAWTHORNE.
