Miss Woolson never once follows the beaten track of the
orthodox novelist, but strikes a new and richly loaded vein
which, so far, is all her own; and thus we feel, on reading one
of her works, a fresh sensation, and we put down the book with
a sigh to think our pleasant task of reading it is finished.
The author's lines must have fallen to her in very pleasant
places; or she has, perhaps, within herself the wealth of
womanly love and tenderness she pours so freely into all she
writes. Such books as hers do much to elevate the moral tone of
the day--a quality sadly wanting in novels of the
time.--_Whitehall Review, London._

A witty, instructive book, as brilliant in its pictures as it
is warm in its kindness; and we feel sure that it is with a
patriotic impulse that we say that we shall be glad to learn
that the number of its readers bears some proportion to its
merits and its power for good.--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
Sketches made from studies of the country and the people upon
the ground.... They are the opinions of a man and a scholar
without prejudices, and only anxious to state the facts as they
were.... When told in the pleasant and instructive way of Mr.
Warner the studies are as delightful as they are
instructive.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
Perhaps the most accurate and graphic account of these portions
of the country that has appeared, taken all in all.... It is a
book most charming--a book that no American can fail to enjoy,
appreciate, and highly prize.--_Boston Traveller._
THEIR PILGRIMAGE. Richly Illustrated by C. S. Reinhart. pp. viii., 364.
Post 8vo, Half Leather, $2 00.
Mr. Warner's pen-pictures of the characters typical of each
resort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor
and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar
Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are
clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and
the general tone is that of one glad to look on the brightest
side of the cheerful, pleasure-seeking world with which he
mingles.--_Christian Union_, N. Y.
