The Friendly Craft

Edited by ELIZABETH D. HANSCOM

In this volume the author has done for American letters what Mr. Lucas did for English in "The Gentlest Art."

"... An unusual anthology. A collection of American letters, some of them written in the Colonial period and some of them yesterday; all of them particularly human; many of them charmingly easy and conversational, as pleasant, bookish friends talk in a fortunate hour. The editor of this collection has an unerring taste for literary quality and a sense of humor which shows itself in prankish headlines.... It is a great favor to the public to bring together in just this informal way the delightful letters of our two centuries of history."—The Independent.

"There should be a copy of this delightful book in the collection of every lover of that which is choice in literature."—The New York Times.
