" It is immense — there is no other word. I've never read anything that equals 

 it in its deep-sea wonder and mystery, nor do I think that any book before lias so 

 completely covered the whole business of whale fishing, and, at the same time, 

 given such real and new sea pictures. I congratulate you most heartily. It's a 

 new world you've opened the door to." — Rudyard Kipling. 



"Written with racy freedom of literary expression and luxuriant abundance 

 of incident, so that ' The Cruise of the Cachalot ' becomes a story of fascinating 

 vividness which thrills the reader and amuses him. The volume is no less enthrall- 

 ing than ' Two Years Before the Mast,' and higher praise can not be accorded to 

 a story of the sea. ... A book of such extraordinary merit as seldom comes to 

 hand." — The Philadelphia Press. 



" Mr. Bullen has given us an epic of whaling, and has presented it with that 

 forcefulness and simplicity with which the epic is associated. . . . The book is of 

 the sea. The author describes some tremendous scenes. . . . The book is real, authentic, a piece of life." — 

 The London Academy. 



" This exciting and attractive book. ... A deep-sea wonder and mystery pervades every page, and this 

 without any straining or self-conscious art. Mr. Bullen has insight, and he has power of presentation — the 

 power of making things vivid and interesting. In a word, he has seen things worthy the telling, and he tells 

 them worthily." — The London Spectator.

i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" ' David Harum ' is, first of all, a thoroughly interesting bit of fiction, 

 with a well-defined plot, a slender but easily followed ' love ' interest, some 

 bold and finely sketched character drawing, and a perfect gold mine of 

 shrewd, dialectic philosophy." — 1 he San Prancisco Call. 



" The chapters are few in which one does not hear the voice of David 

 Harum. Kis reminiscences, his horse-trading anecdotes, his home brewed 

 philosophy, have their own charm. Nor does he ever, in his most sus- 

 tained harangues, 'run to emptins,' though his own experience declares 

 that while ' trie's a good many fast quarter hosses, them that can keep it 

 up for a full mile is scurse.' Realism has bored its thousands, but in 

 ' David Harum ' it has joined hands with delight." — The A'ew York Nation. 



" The main character ought to become familiar to thousands of read- 

 ers, and will probably take his place in time beside Joel Chandler Harris's 

 and Thomas Nelson Page's and Miss Wilkins's creations." — The Chicago 

 1 hnes-Herald. 



" One of the few distinct and living types in the American gallery."— 

 The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 



" Full of wit and sweetness." — The Baltimore Herald.

" In a style that is strong and broad the author of this timely novel takes up a 

 nascent period of our national history and founds upon it a story of absorbing in- 

 terest. . . . We predict for ' A Herald of the West ' a wide reading and a permanent 

 place." — The Philadelphia Ltem. 



" A portion of our history that has not before been successfully embodied in fic- 

 tion. . . . Extremely well written, condensed, vivid, picturesque, and there is con- 

 tinual action. ... A rattling good story, and unrivaled in fiction for its presentation 

 of the American feeling toward England during our second conflict." — The Boston 

 P/erald. 



'"A Herald of the West ' is a romance of our history which has not been sur- 

 passed in dramatic force, vivid coloring, and historical interest." — The San Fran- 

 cisco Chronicle.
