Ralph Marlowe is the second in a Tribute Series to James Ball
Naylor. It is a reprinted, reformatted version of Naylor s 1901
best seller, edited and annotated by Theresa Marie Flaherty, the
author of Naylor biography, The Final Test. Included in this
edition is a Foreward and Afterword by Ms. Flaherty and an Addendum
that includes contemporary reviews, period photographs and
identifies some of the actual persons that characters were based
upon as well as real locations of places used in the book. Ralph
Marlowe, in an effort to put his past behind him and get a new
start, arrives in Babylon to accept a position as a drug clerk in
the office of Dr. Barwood, an eccentric, misunderstood physician.
Despite warnings that no man has been able to work very long with
the doctor, Marlowe remains. Marlowe concedes graciously to the
doctor s demands, but expects no interference in fulfilling them.
In the midst of these trying circumstances Naylor falls in love
with one of Barwood s daughters. A number of the eccentric
characters such as Jep Tucker, Barwood s hired hand; Lon Crider,
the drummer; the lazy, worthless Jim Crawford; Morris McDivitt,
ruined at the gambling tables and saved by Barwood s religious
daughter, are personalities that command the attention of the
reader. Based on real people and actual experience, Ralph Marlowe
is written in a singular, convincing style that reads as well today
as it did more than a hundred years ago.
