"One of those breathless bits of narrative that lay hold on the reader and can never be forgotten."—San Francisco Chronicle.
"Billy Woods is a good lover, a good reporter, a good dreamer, a good fighter, and very much of a man."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
"It is not extravagant praise to say that Mr. Williams has in 'The Day Dreamer' written the best newspaper story of the decade, and he has certainly written the best we have ever read."—New Orleans Picayune.
"A bright, lively, human story well worth reading for half a dozen reasons, and, once opened, is pretty sure to be held firmly until the completion of the last page."—Chicago Record Herald.BY JESSE LYNCH WILLIAMS

"Whether we see him as a self-supporting student or an ambitious athlete, he is a thoroughly human boy of the present day. Such a story is worth a hundred romances of impossible achievements."—The Philadelphia Press.
"Hazing, the ups and downs of athletics, manliness and boyishness happily blended, escapades and adventures—all tending to the building up of a typical American character, brim the book with genuine life."—Independent.
"Every boy who expects soon to become a Freshman would do well to read it It is a picture of college life as it really is."—Toledo Blade.
"The book is one whose spirit and thorough understanding of boy nature every college youth will enjoy, and no boy or youth can read it without being the better for its strong, clean, moral tone."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The Stolen Story
And Other Newspaper Stories
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.25
"Mr. Williams is the only writer of fiction thus far who has in any degree reproduced the peculiar atmosphere of a newspaper office.… Each [story] is of a different type from the rest, and each deals with some particular phase of newspaper work. Altogether Mr. Williams has not wasted a line in his book."—Washington (D. C) Times.
"Mr. Williams has the advantage of knowing thoroughly what he is talking about and of making it interesting. 'The Stolen Story' is one of the best short stories that has been written in a long time."—New York Sun.
"Told in a compressed, rapid style that carries you along with something of the zest that took possession of Billy Woods when he was on the track of a beat."—Droch in Life.
"This fascination [of newspaper work] is strong in Mr. Williams, and he has the genius of making his hearers feel it."—St Louis Globe-Democrat.
"Mr. Williams has made the reporter's life his own in fiction—the life as it really is, not as it sometimes is represented in books."—New York Mail and Express.

"Besides being well constructed and well told, they breathe a spirit of commendable vigor and manliness. Princeton men are fortunate in having the life of their college so favorably-presented to the outside world."—The Atlantic.
"We recognize that the same spirit which animated the heroes of these stories is the same which every Freshman of a week's standing begins to feel to-day."—The Nassau Literary Magazine.
"The writer of 'Princeton Stories' has profited much by the literary example of Rudyard Kipling. His constructive method is through-out high. The stories are remarkably well told."—The Nation.
"Mr. Williams has given one of the truest and most attractive pictures of the recreative side of American college life that has yet been written,"—The Advance.
