 and refined humor, utilized with cheerful art that is 

 perfect of its kind, fill these chapters with joy and 

 gladness for the reader." — Philadelphia Press.

 cate. It is the most artistic and most original thing 

 that its author has done. . . . We can heartily recom- 

 mend ' A Duet' to all classes of readers." — Chicago 

 Times- Herald. 



"It is all very sweet and graceful." — London Telegraph.

'•A BOOK THAT WILL LlVEr 



David Harum. 



A Story of American Life. By Edward 

 NoYEs Westcott. i2mo. Cloth, 31.50. 



" * David Harum ' is, first of all, a thoroughly interest- 

 ing 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." — San Francisco Call. 



" The chapters are few in which one does not hear 

 the voice of David Harum. His reminiscences, his 

 horse-trading anecdotes, his home-brewed philosophy, 

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

 sustained harangues, 'run to emptins,' though his own experience declares that while 

 'the's a good many fast quarter horses, 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." — Neiv York Nation. 



"The main character ought to become familiar to thousands of readers, and will 

 probably take his place in time beside Joel Chandler Harris's and Thomas Nelson 

 Page's and Miss Wilkins's creations." — Chicago Times-Herald. 



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