=Publishers · 254 Washington Street, Boston= * * * * * THE HEAD _of a_ HUNDRED =PRESS OPINIONS= One of the best works of its class.--_The Mail and Express._ Well deserves its popularity.--_Detroit Free Press._ She has indeed added a valuable page to the literature of Virginia.... The story goes with a rush from start to finish.--_San Francisco Bulletin._ Holds its reader fast from the first page to the end.--_The Independent._ A story of love and adventure delightfully told.--_New England Magazine._ Worthy to rank with the best romantic fiction of the year, at home and abroad.--_New York World._ The atmosphere and spirit of the Colonial period are skilfully depicted.--_The Indianapolis Journal._ Mrs. Goodwin's style is cultivated and charming, and in her chronicles of Virginia she is giving a new value to history.--_The Book Buyer._ A book that ought to be in every Virginia library.... A charming attempt to reproduce early Virginia colonial life.--_Richmond Despatch._ The book is sweet and true, and charming for its sweetness and truth. We have read it with a delight not commonly felt in these times.--_New York Times._ An exceptionally graceful piece of work--a love-story told with feeling and insight, imbued with the spirit of its period, and made quaint by effective touches of archaism.--_The Dial._ It is as sweet and pure a piece of fiction as we have read for many a day, breathing, as it does, the same noble air, the lofty tone, and the wholesome sentiment of "Lorna Doone."--_The Bookman._ A book of a thousand. One of those strong, sweet stories that entertain and refresh the reader. It is a pleasure to commend such a book as this, and it will give pleasure to all who read it.--_Boston Journal._ The book is written in a fresh, charming style, and is not overburdened with pictures of "Colonial life," as are so many chronological stories. Anything so wholesome and so old-fashioned in the simplicity of its story-telling is gratifying and refreshing.--_Springfield Republican._ Has studied the records of early Southern history until she is able to reproduce the characters and the times in which they lived with great fidelity.... One seems to be transported to those early days, when the ripe civilization of England was so rudely transplanted to the primeval forest. One understands better the people who grew from such conditions, after reading this story, than if a dozen histories were conned.--_Minneapolis Tribune._ =LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY= =Publishers · 254 Washington Street, Boston= * * * * * WHITE APRONS _A Romance of Bacon's Rebellion, Virginia, 1676_ By MAUD WILDER GOODWIN, author of "The Head of a Hundred," etc. New Illustrated Edition, from new type. 12mo.
