EASTOVER COURT HOUSE
BY HENRY BURNHAM BOONE and KENNETH BROWN
_This is the first of the twelve One-a-Month American Novels to be
published during 1901._
"If each of the novels of American life by American authors which
Messrs. Harper & Brothers project for the current year proves as good as
'Eastover Court House,' the twelve volumes will constitute a decided
addition to American fiction."--_Detroit Free Press_.
"Its charm lies in the constant succession of strongly drawn pictures of
life. One chapter after another presents these scenes, as sharply
outlined and deep in shadows as an artistic photograph. The book ... is
absolutely fascinating."--_Louisville Courier-Journal_.
"Set in the midst of the fox-hunting and cross-country regions, there is
the hoof-beat of the galloping hunter all through the story, which is
full of dry humor and vivid pen-pictures of life."--_Horse Show
Monthly_.
"The horse stories are the best since David Harum's, and quite as
laughable as his."--_Chester Times_.
_Comments from various reviewers_
"A good story well told."
"Strong and absorbing."
"Warm with life, with the passions and emotions ... of Virginia."
"Wholesome, true to life."

THE SENTIMENTALISTS
BY ARTHUR STANWOOD PIER
_This is the second of the twelve One-a-Month American Novels to be
published during 1901._
"A novelist who sets out to depict a character like Becky Sharp is
likely to come to grief. Hence it is surprising that Mr. Pier has not
failed in portraying the social exile, Mrs. Kent. The novel is strong
and clever."--_Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette_.
"It is a very clever novel. There is story to it; there is apt phrasing
and clear delineation of character; there is much incisive and
delightful epigram."--_Evening Sun_. New York.
"If the cleverest parts of this work had been entirely cut out, we
should have called it one of the cleverest novels of the
season."--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_.
"The book is characterised throughout by keen analysis and a delightful
sense of humor."--_Chicago Tribune_.
_Comments from various reviewers_
"Mrs. Kent is distinctly American."
"As interesting and unique as Becky Sharp."
"The book will be a success."
"A rattling good story."
"A vivid study of contemporary social life."
"One of the cleverest novels of the season."
_Post 8vo._ _Cloth, Ornamented, $1.50_
