A pleasure in store for you if you have not read this volume. The author
has given us a thoroughly natural series of events, and drawn her
characters like an artist. It is the story of a woman's struggles with
her own soul. She is a woman of resource, a strong woman, and her career
is interesting from beginning to end.--_New York Herald._

to people of taste.--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
"Fellow Travellers" is a collection of very brightly written tales, all
dealing, as the title implies, with the mutual relations of people
thrown together casually while travelling.--_London Saturday Review._
"_A Book that will Live._"
DAVID HARUM.
_A Story of American Life. By_ EDWARD NOYES WESTCOTT. _12mo. Cloth,
$1.50._
Thoroughly a pure, original, and fresh American type. David Harum is a
character whose qualities of mind and heart, eccentricities, and dry
humor will win for his creator noble distinction. Buoyancy, life, and
cheerfulness are dominant notes. In its vividness and force the story is
a strong, fresh picture of American life. Original and true, it is worth
the same distinction which is accorded the _genre_ pictures of peculiar
types and places sketched by Mr. George W. Cable, Mr. Joel Chandler
Harris, Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, Miss Wilkins, Miss Jewett, Mr. Garland,
Miss French, Miss Murfree, Mr. Gilbert Parker, Mr. Owen Wister, and Bret
Harte.--_Boston Herald._
Mr. Westcott has done for central New York what Mr. Cable, Mr. Page, and
Mr. Harris have done for different parts of the South, and what Miss
Jewett and Miss Wilkins are doing for New England, and Mr. Hamlin
Garland for the West.... "David Harum" is a masterly delineation of an
American type.... Here is life with all its joys and sorrows.... David
Harum
