Hale, Edward Everett
Inventions; Inventors; Technology -- Juvenile literature
"This book is certainly very enjoyable. It delineates American
life so graphically that we feel as if Mr. Hale must have seen
every rood of ground he describes, and must have known personally
every character he so cleverly depicts. In his hearty fellowship
with young people lies his great power. The story is permeated
with a spirit of glad-heartedness and elasticity which in this
hurried, anxious, money-making age it is most refreshing to meet
with in any one out of his teens; and the author's sympathy with,
and respect for, the little romances of his young friends is most
fraternal."--_New Church Magazine._
=SEVEN SPANISH CITIES=, and the Way to Them. 16mo. $1.25.
"The Rev. E. E. Hale's 'Spanish Cities' is in the author's most
lively style, full of fun, with touches of romance, glimpses of
history, allusions to Oriental literature, earnest talk about
religion, consideration of Spanish politics, and a rapid, running
description of everything that observant eyes could possibly see.
Mr. Hale makes Spain more attractive and more amusing than any
other traveller has done, and he lavishes upon her epigram and
wit."--_Boston Advertiser._
=CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY.= Ten Stories. 16mo. $1.25.
"Many an eye has moistened, and many a heart grown kindlier with
Christmas thoughts over 'Daily Bread,' and some of the lesser
stars which now shine in the same galaxy; and the volume which
contains them will carry on their humane ministry to many a future
Christmas time."--_Christian Register._
=IN HIS NAME.= A Story of the Waldenses, Seven Hundred Years ago.
Square 18mo. Paper, 30 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A touching, almost a thrilling, tale is this by E. E. Hale, in
its pathetic simplicity and its deep meaning. It is a story of the
Waldenses in the days when Richard Coeur de Lion and his
splendid following wended their way to the Crusades, and when the
name of Christ inspired men who dwelt in palaces, and men who
sheltered themselves in the forests of France. 'In his Name' was
the 'Open Sesame' to the hearts of such as these, and it is to
illustrate the power of this almost magical phrase that the story
is written. That it is charmingly written, follows from its
authorship. There is in fact no little book that we have seen of
late that offers so much of so pleasant reading in such little
space, and conveys so apt and pertinent a lesson of pure
religion."--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
"The very loveliest Christmas story ever written. It has the ring
of an old Troubadour in it."
=A SUMMER VACATION.= 16mo. 50 cents.
