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_.
