MARIETTA HOLLEY (Josiah Allen's Wife)
Samantha on the Woman Question
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.
For an entire generation Marietta Holley has been entertaining lovers of good humor. "My Opinion and Betsy Bobbitts" and "Samantha at the Centennial" made her name a household word. This last volume is not only timely but with all its facetiousness, keen and telling in its advocacy of "Votes for Women" and Temperance. It equals anything the author has produced.

"The homely humor of the old doctor and his childlike faith in 'the cure' is so intensely human that he captures the sympathy of the layman at once—a sympathy that becomes the deepest sort of interest."—Topeka Capital.
