“ By JACK LONDON "Burning Daylight" is just the kind of a story that Jack London loves to write the story of the struggles of a strong man in a world of strong men. Moreover, it is a story which he has written purely for the story's sake he does not preach anything in it. This fact will make it appeal to those who dislike to have their socialism, or whatever it may be, mixed up with their fiction. ”

“ The "Dark Lantern" is a brusque, saturnine, strong-willed doctor, who makes wonderful cures, bullies his patients, and is hated and sought after. The book has the absorbing interest of a strong and moving story, varied in its scenes and characters, and sustained throughout on high spiritual, intellectual, and emotional planes. ”

“ He displayed himself as an intellectual and amusing observer of life's foibles with a hero characterized, says the Independent, by "inimitable kindness and humor." In "Mr. Ingleside" he has again written a story of high excellence, individual and entertaining. With its quiet calm reflection, its humorous interpretation of life and its delightful situations and scenes it reminds one of the literary excursions and charms of the leaders of the early Victorian era. ”
