BIDWELL'S TRAVELS.

FROM

Wall Street

To London Prison

Fifteen Years in Solitude.

FREED A HUMAN WRECK, A WONDERFUL SURVIVAL AND A MORE
WONDERFUL RISE IN THE WORLD.
TO-DAY HE HAS A NATIONAL REPUTATION AS A WRITER, SPEAKER
AND IS CONSIDERED AN AUTHORITY ON ALL SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
HE WAS TRIED AT THE OLD BAILEY AND SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
CHARGED WITH THE £1,000,000 FORGERY ON THE BANK
OF ENGLAND.

THIS STORY SHOWS THAT THE EVENTS OF HIS LIFE SURPASS THE
IMAGINATIONS OF OUR FAMOUS NOVELISTS, ITS THRILLING
SCENES, HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPES AND MARVELOUS ADVENTURES
ARE NOT A RECORD OF CRIME,
BUT ARE PROOFS OF THAT

IN THE WORLD OF WRONGDOING SUCCESS IS FAILURE.

490 Pages. 80 Graphic Illustrations.

Referring to a Whole Page.

"If an American dramatist or novelist had taken for the ground work of aplay or work of fiction the story of the Bidwell family to-day relatedon another page of the Herald, all European critics would have told himthat the story was too 'American,' too vast in its outlines, too high inits colors, too merely 'big' in fact.

"The story has its lesson. The play is not a mere spectacle. The lessonis that in the doing and undoing of wrong the Bidwell family expendedenough ability and energy to stock a good many reigning Europeanfamilies for generations.

"Let the Comedie Humaine write itself and it will outwrite Balzac."

Hon. Lyman J. Gage.

Having read the Bidwell book I believe it will benefit every one to readthis marvellous history of human experience.

Aside from its dramatic interest there are great moral lessons involvedof especial value to young men and employees in positions of trust.

Therefore, I recommend this book as unique and a valuable acquisitionfor home and office.

From Chas. M. Stead, Union League Club, New York.

"Dear Sir—I read your book with a good deal of interest, and wouldlike to change it for a higher-priced binding if you have one."

The Worcester Spy.

"Mr. Bidwell's book has been compared with Dumas' famous 'MonteChristo.' The extraordinary character of its adventures, indeed, wouldrender it dramatic and powerful as fiction; as human truth, it is simplyoverwhelming. No one can read this book unmoved. From every conceivablestandpoint, physiological, sociological, and literary, it is a marvel."

Philip W. Moen.

Mr. Moen, of Washburn & Moen, Worcester, Mass., writes: "I have read Mr.George Bidwell's book with the deepest interest. It is a book thatdeserves to be widely read, and I am very glad to recommend it."
