American_, Phila.

It bears all the evidence of truthful portrayal of the Spanish American
home, and the story is told so pleasingly and ingeniously as to make the
chapters delightful.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

Distinguished by a freshness and simplicity which recall some of the
French sentimental novelists of the eighteenth century, and especially
Bernardin St. Pierre.--_N.Y. Tribune._

No novel reader will fail to read this beautiful story, which should
find its way wherever the beautiful and the pure in literature are
respected and loved.--_Catholic Review_, N.Y.

The charm of the book is its simplicity and purity.... The author is a
literary artist; his style is clear and winning, his thought
stimulating, his purpose healthful. The story of love is told with much
sweetness and pathos, while the descriptive passages display singular
strength and sympathy for nature.--_Jewish Messenger_, N.Y.

"Maria" is read and admired through all of South America. It would be
difficult to find an educated South American who is not familiar with
this idyllic story.--Judge JOSE ALFONSO, Chilian Delegate to the
Pan-American Congress.

_Maria: Novela Americana_ is one of the most charming stories I have
ever read, and worthy the leading author of any country.--W.H. BISHOP,
in _Scribner's Magazine._

Aside altogether from the broad glimpses it gives of a life whereof we
Northern Americans know absolutely nothing, it is a beautiful story, sad
in its ending, but free from any tinge of coarseness or sensationalism,
pure, sweet, warm with human love and tenderness.--_Chicago Times._
