Seed- Time and Harvest; or, During my Appren- 



ticeship. From the Platt-Deutsch of Fritz Reuter. 8vo 

 Paper cover. $1 Extra cloth. $1.50. 



No German author of the present 

 time is more popular in his own coun- 

 try thin Reuter. He is pronounced 

 by a competent German critic to be 

 deservedly "the most popular German 

 writer of the last half century." 



Keuter is especially noted as the 

 rare humorist, the genuine poet and 

 ike fascinating delineator of the lives 

 of his Platt-Deutsch neighbors, and 

 as such is probably more beloved than 

 any other German author of the day. 

 The tale in question is one of his best 

 and most important works, giving its 

 readers, with its other entertainment 

 and profit, a charming acquaintance 

 with the quaint, interesting Platt- 

 Deutsch people. 



" Fritz Reuter is one of the most 



popular writers in Germany. . . . The 

 charm of his stories lies in their sim- 

 plicity and exquisite truth to Nature. 

 He has ' the loving heart' which Car- 

 lyle tells us is the secret of writing; 

 alid Reuter is not graphic merely, he 

 is photographic. His characters im- 

 press one so forcibly with their reality 

 that one need not to be told they are 

 portraits from life. Even the villains 

 must have been old acquaintances. . . . 

 It (' During my Apprenticeship) is one 

 of the best of Reuter's stories, exhibit- 

 ing his turn for the pathetic as well as 

 for the humorous.'' — New York Eve-
