 it," — New York Tribune.

 coLM Johnston. Illustrated by E. W. Kemble. i2mo. 

 Bound in cloth, $1.50. 



*' It is understood thnt Colonel yohnston regards * Widow Guthrie' as his 

 strongest work." 



"One of the happiest, sweetest, quaintest novels that have come fnm the press in 

 a long time is 'Widow Guthrie,' a vigorous, breezy, and faithful picture of life in the 

 South in the days before the war. I'here is no lack of virility, but there is also a re- 

 finement which is exquisite because it is genuine, and a humor which is mellow and 

 sweet because it springs from a clean imagination." — Brooklyn Standard-Union. 



"It is full of strong descriptions and curious and forcible character delineations. 

 There is remarkable freshness in the figures of the story. The duel and the slaying 

 of Duncan Guthrie are descriptive masterpieces." — New York Sun. 



"The Widow Guthrie stands out more boldly than any other figure we know — a 

 figure curiously compounded of cynical hardness, blind love, and broken-hearted 

 pathos. ... A strong and interesting study of Georgia characteristics without de- 

 pending upon dialect. There is just sufficient mannerism and change of speech to 

 give piquancy to the whole." — Baltimore Sun. 



"... Some remarkaibly vivid portraitures of character. . . . The book is one that 

 will please men as well as women." — Boston Evening Gazette.
