"For bringing her down from the clouds, for illustrating that power of sympathy and fascination which adorned her life with so many fervent friendships, for setting forth her noble devotion to practical duty, Mr. Higginson deserves the cordial thanks of all Margaret Fuller's admirers."— New York Tribune.

"The author has had ample material for his work, — all the material now available perhaps, and has shown the skill of a master in his use of it. . . . It is a fresh view of the subject, and adds important information to that already given to the public. Mr. Higginson throws new light on the family connections and early years of Margaret Fuller, and gives the best account we have yet had of what is termed the Transcendental' epoch in American literature, and of the origin and history of 'The Dial,' its representative organ.” — Boston Advertiser.

"We have no other American poet whose muse is capable of such a sustained and inspired flight in the atmosphere of poetic drama." - New York Times.

JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY'S

THE PIPER

"As the genius of Goethe recreated the 'Faust' legend and made it his own for all time, so Josephine Preston Peabody has set the seal of ownership upon the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.' The comparison is a daring one, but those who have read the tragedy of Marlowe' will have acquired the habit of regarding this writer as a dramatic genius. Her work is more than a prophecy, it is an instalment of the new drama, the basis of which is a courageous and non-apologetic idealism." San Francisco Chronicle.

"A piece of dramatic interpretation of such poetic courage and vitality that it gives the reader an exhilarating sense of the richness of material in the hands of the American dramatist." — The Outlook.

"It is simple, but it is primal, and a brilliant flight of poetic fancy - a fable with a moral in it, not after it.". Hartford Courant.

"The character of The Piper' is one of the most human and lovable in modern literature. To play it would require rare gifts. . . . Its construction makes it all the finer as a vehicle for human character, expressing itself in really noble poetry.” — Boston Herald.

CHARLES D. STEWART

whose

ESSAYS ON THE SPOT

show him "to be an original thinker, with an irrepressible ingenuity of mind, some fancy, and much natural charm of style," according to the Chicago Record-Herald.

"The refreshment of an original personality steps out from each of these essays." - Washington Star.

"An original and interesting cast of mind lies back of 'Essays on the Spot."" Milwaukee Free

Press.

"Dignified in conception and delightful in diction." Seattle Post - Intelligencer.

"The man who can
write essays like 'Chi-
cago Spiders,' 'The
Story of Bully,' and
'On a Moraine,' is a
real philosopher. Close
observation, illustra-
tion from the soil as
accurate and racy and
true to a region as any-
thing in 'Walden,' hu-
mor, sympathy, and a
reverence for the mu-
sic of strong Anglo-
Saxon there's rea-

"Every subject he takes up is treated with vigor and thoughtfulness."Springfield Republi

can.

"The author is more than readable and entertaining. He is informative to a fine extent, and his comparisons, similes and other ground-workings of composition are happy without being haphazard."— St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ELIZABETH BISLAND author of

AT THE SIGN OF THE HOBBY-HORSE

"Deserves warm praise from all who read and think. There's masculinity for breadth of view — in each one of the Bisland essays, yet the style has a delightful femininity of grace and suppleness. With close, clear reasoning along the ways of human nature does the author mate a happy, healthy, sometimes whimsical and always kindly humor." - Chicago Inter-Ocean.
