William Babington Maxwell (1866-1938) novelist and playwright, studio portrait in pinstripe jacket and tie. Captioned, The Author of "The Rest Cure": Mr W B Maxwell (Son of Miss Braddon), whose striking new novel is just published'. With description, The author of "Vivien" and "The Guarded Flame" has added to those notable novels a third, entitled "The Rest Cure, " which is, in "The Bystander's" opinion, one of the strongest literary creations of the day. The book indicts the "practical" man by a careful analysis of the character and methods of a typical specimen of that genus, and is a scathing retort upon preachers of the "Get Rich Quick" school. A review of the book appears opposite'. Date: 1910
