"Shining by reflected light, its pages literally teem with interesting anecdotes of many sorts."—Chicago Evening Post.
"Originality stamps the volume, copiously illustrated with portraits."—The Boston Globe.
"It has a thousand charms, and a thousand points of interest. It is full of striking gems of thought, rare descriptions of men and places, biographical bits that delight one by their variety, and the distinction of those alluded to. From a literary view it is as interesting as Disraeli's famous "Curiosities of Literature."—Philadelphia Item.
"If any more charming and interesting book has appeared this season, it has not come to our notice. The get-up is worthy of the matter of the book."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
It is a handsome octavo volume, 5-3/4 x 8-3/4 inches, of 620 pages, with nearly 100 half-tone portrait illustrations. Beautifully bound in English silk cloth, with gold stamp on side, gilt top. At all Bookstores. $3.50.
