WHAT THE CRITICS SAY OF
The SPENDERS

HARRY THURSTON PECK, in the New York American, says: "The very best two books written by Americans during the past year have been 'The Spenders,' by Harry Leon Wilson, and 'The Pit,' by Frank Norris."
MARK TWAIN writes to the author: "It cost me my day yesterday. You owe me $400. But never mind, I forgive you for the book's sake."
LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL says: "If there is such a thing as the American novel of a new method, this is one. Absolutely to be enjoyed is it from the first page to the last, founded on the elemental truth that 'the man is the strongest who, Ancæan-like, stands with his feet upon the earth.' It is the strong tale of three generations, and told in the romances of the grandson and granddaughter of the original rugged pioneer of the Western country, Peter Bines."
THE BOOKMAN says: "Uncle Peter is a well-drawn, interesting, picturesque, and, above all, a genuine American product.... The dénouement is one that would be well worth reading for, even if the body of the book were dull."
BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE says: "It is coruscating in wit, daring in love, and biting in its palpable caricature of many well-known persons in New York society; but it is so very much more than a clever society novel making the bid of audacity for ephemeral craze."
