By BRANDER MATTHEWS.
Mr. Matthews writes as a student of life and a cultivated man of the world. He uses good English, and his stories are finished with a high degree of art. It is always a pleasure to meet with an essay in fiction from his expertly wielded pen.—Boston Beacon.
Mr. Matthews is a clear thinker and a forcible writer, with a good solid basis of learning upon which to build his essays. We like his outright patriotism as well as his way of calling a spade by its common name. Good, wholesome, and instructive reading.—Independent, N. Y.
A bright little comedietta, in which the author has shown felicity of language and a refreshing humor, which is intensified by its unpretentiousness.—Jewish Messenger, N. Y.
For compressed, swift, clear narrative, this bit of genre work in fiction is unsurpassed. As a character study it shows keen psychological insight. There is no attempt at being funny, yet the reader is continually just on the point of breaking out into laughter.—Interior, Chicago.
