“The most singular and captivating narrative since Robinson
Crusoe.”—_Home Journal._
“‘Kaloolah’ will be ‘The Book.’ If it does not excite a sensation in
the reading public we will be perfectly contented to distrust our
judgment in such matters in future.”—_Merchant’s Journal._
“By far the most attractive and entertaining book we have read since
the days we were fascinated by the chef d’œuvre of Defoe or the
graceful inventions of the Arabian Nights. It is truly an American
novel—not wholly American in scenery, but American in character and
American in sentiment.”—_U.S. Magazine and Democratic Review._
“We have never read a work of fiction with more interest, and we may
add, profit—combining, as it does, with the most exciting and
romantic adventures, a great deal of information of various kinds.
The heroine, Kaloolah, is about as charming and delicate a specimen
of feminine nature, as we recollect in any work of imagination or
fancy. We will answer for it that all readers will be perfectly
delighted with her.”—_Journal of Education._
“We have met with no modern work of fiction that has so entranced
us. The former part of Kaloolah carries the reader captive by the
same irresistible charm that is found in the pages of Robinson
Crusoe, than which imperishable work, however, it presents a wider
and more varied field of adventure; while the latter part expands
into scenes of splendor, magnificence, and enchantment, unsurpassed
by those of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainment.”—_Com. Advertiser._
