DR. BROWN’S WRITINGS. SPARE HOURS; BY JOHN BROWN, M. D. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50. The author of “Rab and his Friends” scarcely needs an introduction to American readers. By this time many have learned to agree, with a writer in the NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, that “Rab” is, all things considered, the most perfect prose narrative since Lamb’s “Rosamond Gray.” [From the LONDON TIMES, October 21.] “Of all the John Browns, commend us to Dr. John Brown, the physician, the man of genius, the humorist, the student of men, women, and dogs. By means of two beautiful volumes he has given the public a share of his by-hours, and more pleasant hours it would be difficult to find in any life. “Dr. Brown’s master-piece is the story of a dog called ‘Rab.’ The tale moves from the most tragic pathos to the most reckless humor, and could not have been written but by a man of genius. Whether it moves to laughter or to tears, it is perfect in its way, and immortalizes its author.” RAB AND HIS FRIENDS. 3d edition. 1 vol. 16mo. Paper. 15 cents. [From the MORNING HERALD.] “Who is he that has not heard of, if not read, ‘Rab and his Friends’? We suppose that there have been few stories ever printed which, in so short a time, won for their author fame. Certainly never was a story so short and so pathetic, so full of joyous tears, so brimming with the actions from which spring sacred pity. We do not envy the man, and we cannot imagine the woman or girl, who could read the story of ‘Rab and his Friends’ without tears actual or imminent.” [From CHAMBERS’ JOURNAL.] “What Landseer is upon canvas, that Dr. Brown is upon paper. The canine family was never before so well represented in literature.” PET MARJORIE. 1 vol. 16mo.
