This book lias had a remarkable reception. We have had 
orders for it from China, South Africa, New Zealand, Hawaii, 
Austria and Brazil. It has gone to every State in the Union. 
Among many appreciative letters comes the following from, “the 
heart of the Blue Grass”: 
I have ever been a reader of your notes in The Rural New- 
Yorker, but it is not recalled that in a long life any book was 
read with so much pleasure and profit as your recent compilation. 
The mellow and wholesome philosophy that pervades every page 
bears tribute to both head and heart. 
With the hope that the lengthening shadows of a declining sun 
may long yet cast their evening glory on your full and fruitful 
life, believe me, Sincerely yours, 
Kentucky, H. F. IIILLENMEYER.
