“The characters of the story have a remarkable vividness and individuality--every one of them--which mark at once Mr. Sullivan’s strongest promise as a novelist. All of his men are excellent. John Musgrove, the grimly pathetic old beau, sometimes reminds us of a touch of Thackeray.”--_The Cincinnati Times-Star._ _John T. Wheelwright._ A CHILD OF THE CENTURY. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.) “This is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable novels that has been published for a long time. It is a story of to-day, of American life and character; a typical story of political and social life, free from cynicism or morbid realism, and brimming over with good-natured fun, which is never vulgar.”--_The Christian at Work._ TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_.
