A Novel. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 50.
A powerful picture of modern life in which unscrupulously acquired capital is the chief agent.... Mr. Warner has depicted this phase of society with real power, and there are passages in his work which are a nearer approach to Thackeray than we have had from any American author.—Boston Post.
The vigor and vividness of the tale and its sustained interest are not its only or its chief merits. It is a study of American life of to-day, possessed with shrewd insight and fidelity.—George William Curtis.
Studies in the South and West.
With Comments on Canada. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 75.
A witty, instructive book, as brilliant in its pictures as it is warm in its kindness; and we feel sure that it is with a patriotic impulse that we say that we shall be glad to learn that the number of its readers bears some proportion to its merits and its power for good.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
A book most charming—a book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly prize.—Boston Traveller.
Their Pilgrimage.
Richly Illustrated by C. S. Reinhart. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $2 00.
Mr. Warner's pen-pictures of the characters typical of each resort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and the general tone is that of one glad to look on the brightest side of the cheerful, pleasure-seeking world.—Christian Union, N. Y.
