Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal
| Lloyd C. Douglas
| From the Dust Jacket of 1939 Edition: "The author's first novel, Magnificent Obsession, evoked a flood of letters from its readers. Among the queries presented by those letters, one was almost always included: 'Is the complete Journal of Doctor Hudson available?' Dr. Wayne Hudson was an eminent brain surgeon who lost his life by drowning. Among his effects there was found a journal containing some amazing memoirs written in a baffling code as a means of insuring it against a hasty perusal by persons who might view it with careless or incredulous indifference. Doctor Hudson's Secret Journal is not a sequel to Magnificent Obsession, but throughout that book quotations from and adversions to this laboriously decoded journal provided a great source of inspiration and belief. It is rather an expansion of its philosophy, illumined by the full story of Doctor Hudson's experiences."
