(frontispiece). Most or all of these stories were first published individually in Century Magazine, with more illustations by Gruger.

Harvey O'Higgins's volume of short stories, "From the Life," comes with a shock of difference from the conventional form and is a book to be valued. Here is no feather-fluff of romance, no sermonic pill disguised as caramel, no mere effort to entertain the brainless, but life shown seriously, with an inexorable logic of events in harmony with character, Mr. O'Kiggins has chosen for his medium of expression the character study somewhat resembling Dreiser's studies of his "Twelve Men". —Extracted from "Latest Modes in Fiction," by Dorothy Scarborough, in The Bookman, 1919.
