Me. "A cheerful companion. The reviewer has enjoyed it in a month when books to be read have been many and the time precious."Denver Republican
Col. "Nelson Lloyd is to be hailed as a Columbus. There isn't a story in the book that isn't first-class fun, and there's no reason why The Chronic Loafer should not be placed in the gallery of American celebrities beside the popular and philosophical Mr. Dooley."
