London: Methuen & Co., 1903. The 33-page catalogue at the end of the book may be omitted.

Erb is an ambitious young railway carman with a talent for oratorv and organisation. He is greatly given to open-air speaking in Southwark Park, and, exercising a powerful influence over his fellow employees, plays the leading part in a strike, and, being discharged, founds a Carmen's Union and is elected Secretary. The proceedings of the Union, the rivalries and intrigues[...] are related realistically and with an abounding humour; and Erb's romance, his love of the practical, pretty, slightly lame little teacher of elocution brightens through the rougher elements of his career with an idyllic charm… —From the review in the Bookman (UK) October 1913.
