"It has the great virtue of being a plain story plainly told by one who knows. Whatever other impression it may convey to the reader, it conveys most strongly the impression of truth. And this plain truth, told in a plain way, is a terrible thing. One can feel all the way through that half the tale--and perhaps the worst half--is left untold, yet such as stands in print is sufficient, and to the reader who cares for something more than the superficial adventurous incident of the book it will not be without its instructive influence."--_Denver Republican._ "Told with all the freshness and vividness of an eyewitness."--_Philadelphia Call._ "Will be read with interest by all railroad men."--_Galesburg (Ill.) Mail._ The Story of the Railroad. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "Far more interesting than the average novel.... Mr. Warman's volume makes us hear and feel the rush of modern civilization. It gives us also the human side of the picture--the struggles of the frontiersman and his family, the dismay and cruel wrath of the retreating savage, the heroism of the advance guard of the railway builders, and the cutthroat struggles of competing lines. He does not deal greatly with statistics, but the figures he uses help make up the stunning effect of gigantic enterprise. There is not a dull page in the book."--_New York Evening Post._ "Intensely interesting--a history that reads like a romance, and compared with whose marvelous story indeed most modern romances will seem spiritless and tame."--_Charleston News and Courier._ "Worthy to stand on the same shelf with Hough's Story of the Cowboy."--_Milwaukee Journal._ MISS DOUGALL'S BOOKS. _THE MORMON PROPHET._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "A striking story.... Immensely interesting and diverting, and as a romance it certainly has a unique power."--_Boston Herald._ "In 'The Mormon Prophet' Miss Lily Dougall has told, in strongly dramatic form, the story of Joseph Smith and of the growth of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, which has again come prominently before the public through the election of a polygamist to Congress.... Miss Dougall has handled her subject with consummate skill.... She has rightly seen that this man's life contained splendid material for a historical novel. She has taken no unwarranted liberties with the truth, and has succeeded in furnishing a story whose scope broadens with each succeeding chapter until the end."--_New York Mail and Express._
