“It awakens in the mind a tremendous admiration for an artist who could so find his way through the mists of familiarity to an artistic haven.... In reading ‘A Spoil of Office’ one feels a continuation of interest extending from the fictional into the actual, with no break or divergence. And it seems to be only a question of waiting a day or two ere one will run up against the characters in real life.”

ALSO,

A LITTLE NORSK; or, Ol’ Pap’s Flaxen. 16mo. Boards, 50 cents.
