The Blue-Grass Region of Kentucky, and Other Kentucky Articles
Allen, James Lane
Kentucky -- Description and travel; Kentucky -- Social life and customs
Mr. Warner is a prince of travellers and sight-seers--so genial,
so kindly, so ready to be pleased, so imperturable under
discomfort, so full of interpretation, so prophetic in hope....
In this book are a little history, a little prophecy, a few
fascinating statistics, many interesting facts, much practical
suggestion, and abundant humor and charm.--_Evangelist_, N. Y.
A LITTLE JOURNEY IN THE WORLD. A Novel. Post 8vo, Half Leather,
Gilt Top and Uncut Edges, $1 50.
The vigor and vividness of the tale and its sustained interest are
not its only or its chief merits. It is a study of American life
of to-day, possessed with shrewd insight and fidelity.--George
William Curtis.
STUDIES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. With Comments on Canada. Post 8vo,
Half Leather, Gilt Top and Uncut Edges, $1 75.
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.
THEIR PILGRIMAGE. Richly Illustrated by C. S. REINHART. Post 8vo,
Half Leather, Gilt Top and Uncut Edges, $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.--_Christian Union_, N. Y.
