Fiction
"We are soon amused, interested and charmed. Belonging to the class
of stories popularly called 'bright,' and published judiciously at
the opening of the season of hammocks and piazzas, it is far more
readable than most of its kind. The plot is not too much of a plot
for a legitimate New England story, and the conversation of 'Jabe' is
racy enough to make us forget that we were tired of Yankee dialect, as
treated by Mrs. Stowe and Mrs Whitney. Indeed the book is thoroughly
enjoyable."--_The Critic, New York._
"No Gentlemen."
"Is a very bright and readable novel."--_The Commercial, Louisville._
"No Gentlemen."
"Clearly belongs to a class whose highest ambition is to be
'bright'--an ambition which, indeed, is seldom more fully
justified."--_The Dial._
"No Gentlemen."
"Is readable, bright and never bores one."--_N. Y. Tribune._
"The conversations in 'No Gentlemen' are bright, the characters well
drawn and adroitly contrasted."--_Am. Bookseller, N. Y._
"No Gentlemen."
"Is written in a bright, fresh style, something like that of Mrs. A.
D. T. Whitney, or more nearly, perhaps, that of the author of Phyllis
and Molly Bawn, which is to say, much of it. * * Girl graduates of the
present season, into whose hands it falls, will seize upon it, after
the first taste, as if it were a rosy and juicy peach; which, so to
speak, in a figure, it very nearly is."--_Literary World, Boston._
Hezekiah Butterworth, in the Boston _Transcript_, says of "No
Gentlemen" that the plot is well managed, and the story brightly told.
"No Gentlemen."
"The story opens in Boston, and concerns New England life. The
characters, relative to the soil, are very clearly drawn, and there
is a great deal of originality in the plot and treatment of the
story."--_Boston Courier._
"It is a bright narrative of the summering of a half-dozen Boston
girls just out of school, at Red Farm, in Pineland, with Miss Hopeful
Bounce, who advertises for summer boarders, but '_No Gentlemen_.' In
order to make a novel, of course this prohibition must be broken down,
and as the girls, particularly the heroine and her special friend, are
pleasant company, the story is as readable as if it were a 'No Name,'
as it is in fact."--_Springfield Republican._
"No Gentlemen."
Is issued in elegant style, being printed on fine tinted paper, making

"Is a novel which can not fail to become exceedingly popular with that
portion of our people who find in a well written romance the necessary
gold to give a gilt-edged finish to such aspirations as may give a new
pleasure to existence."--_Albany Post._
