fe-like
and vivid that the announcement of a new one is always received with
pleasure.--_New Haven Palladium._

Captain King is a delightful story-teller.--_Washington Post._

In the delineation of war scenes Captain King's style is crisp and
vigorous, inspiring in the breast of the reader a thrill of genuine
patriotic fervor.--_Boston Commonwealth._

Captain King is almost without a rival in the field he has chosen....
His style is at once vigorous and sentimental in the best sense of that
word, so that his novels are pleasing to young men as well as young
women.--_Pittsburgh Bulletin._

It is good to think that there is at least one man who believes that all
the spirit of romance and chivalry has not yet died out of the world,
and that there are as brave and honest hearts to-day as there were in
the days of knights and paladins.--_Philadelphia Record._

Will be found invaluable in many a household where the mistress (or the
master himself) takes an interest in preparing the supplies that come to
the table.--_N.Y. Journal of Commerce._

Recognizing the fact that the wise man does not live to eat, but rather
eats to live, the author furnishes such rules as will enable cooks to
make what is eaten palatable and healthful. People that give dinners
will here find much assistance.--_Troy Press._

The most hard-headed cook will acknowledge the pith, pointedness, and
lucidity of Mr. Child's chapters on the chemistry of cookery, on the
methods of preparing meats or vegetables, on acetaria, soups, and
sauces; while the closing chapters on dining tables, dining-room
decoration, table service, art in eating and on being invited to dine,
have, to all who would further the amenities of civilization, a value
that needs no comment.--_Brooklyn Times._

A more sensible and delightful book of its kind would be difficult to
name.... We cannot open this entertaining volume at any page without
finding matter to instruct, or at least to invite reflection. The
aphorisms on the gastronomic art, original or gathered from the highest
authorities on the subject, are thoroughly sound.--_N.Y. Sun._
