Frontier and pioneer life -- Dakota Territory -- Fiction; Orphans -- Fiction; Single fathers -- Fiction
"One of the novels of the decade."--Rochester Union and Advertiser.
"It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the title
should have fallen into such competent hands."--Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
"Much skill is shown by the author in making these 'fads' the basis of a
novel of great interest.... One who tries to keep in the current of good
novel-reading must certainly find time to read 'The Faith
Doctor.'"--Buffalo Commercial.
"A vivid and life-like transcript from several phases of society. Devoid
of literary affectation and pretense, it is a wholesome American novel
well worthy of the popularity which it has won."--Philadelphia Inquirer.
"The author of 'The Hoosier Schoolmaster' has enhanced his reputation by
this beautiful and touching study of the character of a girl to love
whom proved a liberal education to both of her admirers."--London
Athenæum.
AN UTTER FAILURE. By Miriam Coles Harris, author of "Rutledge." 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.
"A story with an elaborate plot, worked out with great cleverness and
with the skill of an experienced artist in fiction. The interest is
strong and at times very dramatic.... Those who were attracted by
'Rutledge' will give hearty welcome to this story, and find it fully as
enjoyable as that once immensely popular novel."--Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette.
"The pathos of this tale is profound, the movement highly dramatic, the
moral elevating."--New York World.
"In this new story the author has done some of the best work that she
has ever given to the public, and it will easily class among the most
meritorious and most original novels of the year."--Boston Home Journal.
"The author of 'Rutledge' does not often send out a new volume, but when
she does it is always a literary event.... Her previous books were
sketchy and slight when compared with the finished and trained power
evidenced in 'An Utter Failure.'"--New Haven Palladium.
"Exhibits the same literary excellence that made the success of the
author's first book."--San Francisco Argonaut.
"American girls with a craving for titled husbands will find instructive
reading in this story."--Boston Traveller.
ON THE PLANTATION. By Joel Chandler Harris, author of "Uncle Remus."
With 23 Illustrations by E. W. Kemble, and Portrait of the Author. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.
"The book is in the characteristic vein which has made the author so
famous and popular as an interpreter of plantation
character."--Rochester Union and Advertiser.
"Those who never tire of Uncle Remus and his stories--with whom we would
be accounted--will delight in Joe Maxwell and his exploits."--London
Saturday Review.
"Altogether a most charming book."--Chicago Times.
