A Novel.
The vigor and vividness of the tale and its sustained interest are not
its only or its chief merits. It is a study of American life of to-day,
possessed with shrewd insight and fidelity.--GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.
A powerful picture of that phase of modern life in which unscrupulously
acquired capital is the chief agent.--_Boston Post._
STUDIES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST, with Comments on Canada.
Perhaps the most accurate and graphic account of these portions of the
country that has appeared, taken all in all.... A book most charming--a
book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly
prize.--_Boston Traveller._
