American Historical Novels,
By ALBION W. TOURGEE, late Judge Superior Court, North Carolina.
“The novels of this author have served as campaign documents to a degree that may obscure their merits as literature; yet, the truth is, scarcely anything in fiction so powerful has been written, from a merely literary standpoint, as these books. ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ cannot compare with them in this respect.”—Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
“A Fool’s Errand,”
By One of the Fools.
361 pages. Cloth, $1.00.
“It is nothing less than an extraordinary work. In matter, it is intensely interesting; in manner, it is forcible and vivid to a rare degree.”—International Review.
“A political and social study ... pursued with great candor and no small discrimination.”—The Nation.
“To be read with profound interest for its luminous exposition of historical facts, as well as to be admired for its masterly power of picturesque and pathetic description.”—New York Tribune.
“Bricks without Straw.”
