=The Virginian=
=A Horseman of the Plains=
WITH EIGHT FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS
BY ARTHUR I. KELLER
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"There is not a page in Mr. Wister's new book which is not
interesting. This is its first great merit, that it arouses the
sympathy of the reader and holds him absorbed and amused to the
end. It does a great deal more for him. 'Whoever reads the first
page will find it next to impossible to put the book down until he
has read every one of the five hundred and four in the book, and
then he will wish there were more of them.'"--_New York Tribune._
"Mr. Wister has drawn real men and real women.... In 'The
Virginian' he has put forth a book that will be remembered and read
with interest many years hence."--_Chicago American._
"The story is human and alive. It has the 'touch and go' of the
vibrating life of the expansive American West and puts the country
and the people vividly before the reader."--_Philadelphia
Times-Saturday Review._
=Members of the Family=
=Vivid Sketches of Life on the Western Plains=
_Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25_
"Highly finished and serves to mirror the West of thirty years ago,
when the picturesque cowboy was the dominant figure in every
Western settlement."--_San Francisco Chronicle._
"A legitimate successor to 'The Virginian,' a story of Western
tales, full of color and outdoors, and a shrewd relish of
humor."--_Albany Argus._
"It is a book that one may pick up for a few moments and be
transported back to the days which are no more, when the Indian and
the ranchman, the soldier and the gambler and the adventurer,
thrown together, created a society that was never dull. In these
stories Mr. Wister has reproduced this life in fine fashion. The
atmosphere of the book is buoyant. The spirit of the wild is in it.
It is a delineation of life and society made familiar to an earlier
generation by the nickel library, but very much truer to life and
expressed by a literary artist."--_Boston Herald._
"It is a pleasant hour with the world's great minds and a strong
man's belief in the greatness of his native land."--_Lexington
Herald._
"The stories show Mr. Wister at his best. It would be a difficult
task to give the stories a rating as to value. All are good.
Admirers of Wister will find in this book one that they will read
several times."--_Detroit News._
=Lady Baltimore=
_Illustrated, cloth, 12mo $1.50_
"It is pleasant to be able to say that ... his reputation will
be more than merely maintained by his new venture ... It would
be difficult to speak too highly of this delightful volume ...
'Lady Baltimore,' as may be gathered from what we have said
above, is a many-sided book.... In fine, here is an author of
whom America may well be proud, not only for his literary
accomplishments, but for his generous, yet discriminating, love
of his country."--_The Spectator_, London.
"Full of the tenderest human interest, sufficiently dramatic,
with a decided touch of originality."--_Daily News_, Chicago.
"A delightful story; the reader is captivated from the
start."--_New York Globe._
"As a picture it is charming; as a story it has genuine
strength."--_New York Mail._
"Wholly charming from end to end."--_Toronto Globe._
"The story maintains a rare quality of sincerity and
indefinable charm."--_North American_, Philadelphia.
"A most charming story ... one of the most exquisite done in
years."--_Citizen_, Brooklyn.
"A love story that even excels that between Molly Wood and 'The
Virginian.'"--_The Advance_, Chicago.
"We have been wholly charmed with 'Lady Baltimore' and wish
sincerely that it was our luck to read books like it every
day,"--- _Richmond Times-Dispatch._
=How Doth the Simple Spelling Bee=
_Illustrated, decorated cloth, 16mo, $0.50_
"Mr. Wister's humor is always genuine and racy, and in this
little burlesque he fairly riots in absurd specimens of
supersimplified spelling. This fantastic skit is intensely
amusing."--_Outlook._
"It is a clever extravaganza, and points a moral without
possibility of mistake."--_Louisville Post._
"Its spirit is the spirit of pure farce, and the vein of satire
that runs through it only adds to the hilarity of the
tale."--_Critic._
=Philosophy Four=
_Illustrated, decorated cloth, 16mo, $0.50_
"Told well and with a reserve which betokens a ripe literary
craft."--_Daily Chronicle._
"Owen Wister is a born story-teller. If you have ever read any
of his books you have doubtless discovered this for yourself.
In this charming story of undergraduate life at Harvard, Mr.
Wister has shown that he has great skill in character
delineation."--_The Boston Globe._
=The Seven Ages of Washington=
_Cloth, gilt top, 12mo, $2.00_
