Description

The hero is a London labor leader, and the dramatic phases of his career will touch a sympathetic note, especially in view of our own industrial disturbances. "Echoes of Dickens are not uncommon in the works of Mr. Pett Ridge, but all these low life characters are the real thing." -The New York Sun "Herbert Barnes, known among his familiars as 'Erb,' is a young London workman....He is a born agitator, with the faculty for organization, eloquence, courage and a saving sense of humor." -Literary News "Ah, that explains it. The serial novel, we may add, is Mr. Pett Ridge's 'Erb.' 'Erb' is 'Berminsey' for Herbert, and Erb himself is engagingly introduced to us orating on a chair in Southwark Park." -The Academy and Literature "The book seem to be filled with the sort of good things one has learned to look forward to from Mr. Pett Ridge. Here is just one taken almost at random, and not quoted with the intention of disparaging Erb, who is a thoroughly good fellow. 'Erb read a chapter from Herbert Spencer whilst the girls were out of the room, well repaid if here and there he understood a sentence, if now and again he caught sight of a view that soon eluded him.'" -T. P.'s Weekly "The hero is a London labor leader, and the dramatic phases of his career will touch a sympathetic note." -The Book News Monthly "A novel dealing with a trades union society of railway carmen in London. It originated among the South Eastern and Chatham carmen, 'Erb' being the leader. The writer shows close acquaintance with working-class life, his point of view of trades unions, their internal squabblings, mean jealousies, and sordid aims, is fairly true to actuality....With his keen insight and graphic powers of portraiture...infusing something of that consistent etching which made Dickens' creations live personages." -Herapath's Railway Journal
