Merriman, Charles Eustace. Self-made man’s wife: her letters to her son: being the woman’s view of certain famous correspondence. [†]$1.50. Putnam.
“In her letters the mother advises her son on the treatment of his wife, on the retention of his ideals, on the writing of books and on the reading of them, on quarreling and making up, on the fallacy and folly of aphorisms, adages, and other epigrammatic usages, on economy in households, and a number of other living topics, and aptly illustrates her points by instances taken from her own domestic experiences or observations of the experiences of her neighbors.”—N. Y. Times.
“Upon the whole these letters are tedious and disappointing.”
