Sketches of “two hardened bric-a-brac hunters.... Each story breathes an agreeable leisure, and the thread of the Wyckoffs’ adventures among the antique dealers is enriched by a shrewd characterization of the dealers themselves, from Dirck Amstell, the honest Dutchman, to a proud representative of Du Val upon Fifth avenue.”—Nation.
“Unusually well told stories.”

“The pleasant surprise of the stories as a whole is that treating of the infinitely small, they constantly broaden into a larger perspective.”
