“The most singular and captivating narrative since Robinson Crusoe.”—Home Journal.
“‘Kaloolah’ will be ‘The Book.’ If it does not excite a sensation in the reading public we will be perfectly contented to distrust our judgment in such matters in future.”—Merchant’s Journal.
“By far the most attractive and entertaining book we have read since the days we were fascinated by the chef d’œuvre of Defoe or the graceful inventions of the Arabian Nights. It is truly an American novel—not wholly American in scenery, but American in character and American in sentiment.”—U.S. Magazine and Democratic Review.
“We have never read a work of fiction with more interest, and we may add, profit—combining, as it does, with the most exciting and romantic adventures, a great deal of information of various kinds. The heroine, Kaloolah, is about as charming and delicate a specimen of feminine nature, as we recollect in any work of imagination or fancy. We will answer for it that all readers will be perfectly delighted with her.”—Journal of Education.
“We have met with no modern work of fiction that has so entranced us. The former part of Kaloolah carries the reader captive by the same irresistible charm that is found in the pages of Robinson Crusoe, than which imperishable work, however, it presents a wider and more varied field of adventure; while the latter part expands into scenes of splendor, magnificence, and enchantment, unsurpassed by those of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainment.”—Com. Advertiser.

12mo. In September.
“It is by far the most interesting book that has been published at Constantinople for a long time. * * * The historical and amusing interest of the two hundred and seven curiosities, which I might call anecdotes, is so obvious,” &c.—Von Hammer, the celebrated Orientalist, to the Translator.
“This book is one of the most interesting and amusing which has appeared.”—Jour. Asiatique.
