Martin, Edward Sanford. Courtship of a careful man. [†]$1.25. Harper.
“A collection of short stories of New York life, having a peculiar quality of their own. Quite modern in effect, they have a background of good breeding distinctly American. The conversations among different members of the families represented are clever, and exhibit a complete and happy knowledge of the world.”—Outlook.
“In this latest book we find Mr. Martin in rather lighter vein than is his wont, but as always, excellent company.”
