antha and Josiah went to the Fair, "took it all in," and Samantha
relates their experiences in her well-known quaint style. The
characteristic illustrations of their adventures by C. Grunwald are
great.
_Cleveland Plain Dealer_
The main points of interest at the Exposition are discussed and
moralized over in her inimitable way by Samantha.
_The Outlook_
Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition, by Josiah Allen's wife, is a
revival of what was perhaps one of the most popular humorous series
ever issued. The present volume contains the same pathos and shrewd
rustic sense with all the humor of her previous works.
_Baker & Taylor's Monthly Bulletin of Best Selling Books_
She has sampled the glories of the St. Louis Fair and described them
in language of enduring worth.
_Boston Advertiser_
A story full of the mixture of wit, pathos, eloquence and common

_New York Globe_
Very unlike her earlier books in appearance. It has a smart up-to-date
binding and striking modern illustrations by Grunwald. But Miss
Holley's part is perfectly natural and familiar. It has lost none of
its mirth, none of its common sense, none of its good clear-eyed
religious way of looking at things. It is faithful to the spirit of a
great deal that is best in American life.

writing he has put to his credit. SIR HENRY MORGAN--BUCCANEER is an

"Cyrus Townsend Brady has had the hardihood to set aside the romantic
pirate of fictional tradition an
