“These essays are full of genial humor and wholesome satire. They will lengthen the lives of their readers by a twofold process,—by their own fun, and by the impulse they will give the ‘patient’ to educate himself in the science of health. Read, all ye dyspeptic and headache subjects, all ye veterans in the ranks of General Debility, read and reform.”—Portland Transcript.
ATLANTIC ESSAYS. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.
“The perfection of Mr. Higginson’s style, the healthiness and robustness of his thought, the breadth of his sympathies, the common-sense that dominates his culture and varied scholarship, the fearless honesty with which he utters his most radical opinions, and the genuine love of humanity which glows in all he writes, give a charm to this volume that few of the books of the day possess.”—Woman’s Journal.
ARMY LIFE IN A BLACK REGIMENT. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.
“Colonel Higginson, an enthusiastic advocate for colored troops, went himself to the tented field, ate army hard-tack, and saw and recorded the merits of the troops, and failed not also to note their shortcomings.”—Chicago Republican.
“His account of swimming Corsen River at midnight, solitary and alone, to inspect the enemy’s pickets, is one of the finest chapters we have read for years.”—Woonsocket Patriot.
MALBONE; AN OLDPORT ROMANCE. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.50.
“As a romance, it seems to us the most brilliant that has appeared in this country since Hawthorne (whom the author, in some points, has the happiness to resemble) laid down the most fascinating pen ever held by an American author.”—John G. Saxe.
“One singularly clever and original sketch [‘Malbone’] has been brought out here … and is winning the highest praise. It pleases the severer tastes of the best school of critics, and, small as it is, insensibly heightens the whole estimate of American national literature.”—London Correspondence, Chicago Tribune.
