America may well be proud, not only for his literary accomplishments, but for his generous, yet discriminating, love of his country."--_The Spectator_, London. "Full of the tenderest human interest, sufficiently dramatic, with a decided touch of originality."--_Daily News_, Chicago. "A delightful story; the reader is captivated from the start."--_New York Globe._ "As a picture it is charming; as a story it has genuine strength."--_New York Mail._ "Wholly charming from end to end."--_Toronto Globe._ "The story maintains a rare quality of sincerity and indefinable charm."--_North American_, Philadelphia. "A most charming story ... one of the most exquisite done in years."--_Citizen_, Brooklyn. "A love story that even excels that between Molly Wood and 'The Virginian.'"--_The Advance_, Chicago. "We have been wholly charmed with 'Lady Baltimore' and wish sincerely that it was our luck to read books like it every day,"--- _Richmond Times-Dispatch._ =How Doth the Simple Spelling Bee= _Illustrated, decorated cloth, 16mo, $0.50_ "Mr. Wister's humor is always genuine and racy, and in this little burlesque he fairly riots in absurd specimens of supersimplified spelling. This fantastic skit is intensely amusing."--_Outlook._ "It is a clever extravaganza, and points a moral without possibility of mistake."--_Louisville Post._ "Its spirit is the spirit of pure farce, and the vein of satire that runs through it only adds to the hilarity of the tale."--_Critic._ =Philosophy Four= _Illustrated, decorated cloth, 16mo, $0.50_ "Told well and with a reserve which betokens a ripe literary craft."--_Daily Chronicle._ "Owen Wister is a born story-teller. If you have ever read any of his books you have doubtless discovered this for yourself. In this charming story of undergraduate life at Harvard, Mr. Wister has shown that he has great skill in character delineation."--_The Boston Globe._ =The Seven Ages of Washington= _Cloth, gilt top, 12mo, $2.00_ CRITICAL COMMENDATION "It is a curious fact that the life of Washington has never been really easy to write.... But in these matters the character of the historian means everything.
