y, in large-heartedness, in shrewdness, and in humor."--_The Critic_, _New York_. "We have in the character of David Harum a perfectly clean and beautiful study, one of those true natures that every one, man, woman, or child, is the better for knowing."--_The World_, _Cleveland_. "The book continues to be talked of increasingly. It seems to grow in public favor, and this, after all, is the true test of merit."--_The Tribune_, _Chicago_. "A thoroughly interesting bit of fiction, with a well-defined plot, a slender but easily followed 'love' interest, some bold and finely sketched character drawing, and a perfect gold mine of shrewd, dialectic philosophy."--_The Call_, _San Francisco_. "The newsboys on the street can talk of 'David Harum,' but scarcely a week ago we heard an intelligent girl of fifteen, in a house which entertains the best of the daily papers and the weekly reviews, ask, 'Who is Kipling?'"--_The Literary World_, _Boston_. "A masterpiece of character painting. In David Harum, the shrewd, whimsical, horse-trading country banker, the author has depicted a type of character that is by no means new to fiction, but nowhere else has it been so carefully, faithfully, and realistically wrought out."--_The Herald_, _Syracuse_. "We give Edward Noyes Westcott his true place in American letters--placing him as a humorist next to Mark Twain, as a master of dialect above Lowell, as a descriptive writer equal to Bret Harte, and, on the whole, as a novelist on a par with the best of those who live and have their being in the heart of hearts of American readers. If the author is dead--lamentable fact--his book will live."--_Philadelphia Item_. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. FELIX GRAS'S ROMANCES. =The White Terror.= A Romance. Translated from the Provencal by Mrs. Catharine A. Janvier. Uniform with "The Reds of the Midi" and "The Terror." 16mo. Cloth, $1.50. "No one has done this kind of work with finer poetic grasp or more convincing truthfulness than Felix Gras.... This new volume has the spontaneity, the vividness, the intensity of Interest of a great historical romance."--_Philadelphia Times_. =The Terror.= A Romance of the French Revolution. Uniform with "The Reds of the Midi." Translated by Mrs. Catharine A. Janvier. 16mo. C
