The New York Herald; says,
Impossible to find a handsomer book on outdoor life than this. The author's peculiar faculty for describing days in the woods and rambles with good company has long been known. "Daylight Land" is longer than the book in which the same author made the Adirondacks seem some other place to men whose eyes were not as wide-open as his own, and the style is even breezier, if that is possible. Seldom does a book appear which is so entirely creditable to author, artist, and publisher.
HOW DEACON TUBMAN AND PARSON WHITNEY KEPT NEW YEAR'S, and Other Stories. By W. H. H. Murray, author of "Adirondack Tales," etc. 12mo. Illustrated. $1.25.
Deacon Tubman, a jolly, fat, good-natured man, is presented with a woollen night-cap on New Year's morning by his housekeeper, "a typical spinster not overburdened with fat." This so rejoices the Deacon that he is possessed to make others happy, goes to call upon his pastor, and makes him leave his books and spend the day skating, sleighing, and driving with his parishioners.
STORY THE KEG TOLD ME, AND THE STORY OF THE MAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW MUCH. By W. H. H. Murray, author of "Daylight Land," "Adirondack Adventures," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Two admirable stories by W. H. H. Murray, in both which appears John Norton, the trapper, a character that promises to become as much of a favorite as is the hero of the Leather Stocking novels. These stories have a bracing outdoor freshness and a delightfully crisp realism: are vigorous in tone, and strong and picturesque in the relation. Taken altogether, they may be pronounced in the most artistic of Mr. Murray's excursions into the realms of fiction, and fascinating generally." —Saturday Evening Gazette.
