DAVID HARUM.A Story of American Life. ByEdward Noyes Westcott, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.“David Harum deserves to be known by all good Americans; he is one of them in boundless energy, in large-heartedness, in shrewdness, and in humor.”—The Critic, New York.“We have in the character of David Harum a perfectly clean and beautiful study, one of those true natures that every one, man, woman, or child, is the better for knowing.”—The World, Cleveland.“The book continues to be talked of increasingly. It seems to grow in public favor, and this, after all, is the true test of merit.”—The Tribune, Chicago.“A thoroughly interesting bit of fiction, with a well-defined plot, a slender but easily followed ‘love’ interest, some bold and finely sketched character drawing, and a perfect gold mine of shrewd, dialectic philosophy.”—The Call, San Francisco.“The newsboys on the street can talk of ‘David Harum,’ but scarcely a week ago we heard an intelligent girl of fifteen, in a house which entertains the best of the daily papers and the weekly reviews, ask, ‘Who is Kipling?’”—The Literary World, Boston.“A masterpiece of character painting. In David Harum, the shrewd, whimsical, horse-trading country banker, the author has depicted a type of character that is by no means new to fiction, but nowhere else has it been so carefully, faithfully, and realistically wrought out.”—The Herald, Syracuse.“We give Edward Noyes Westcott his true place in American letters—placing him as a humorist next to Mark Twain, as a master of dialect above Lowell, as a descriptive writer equal to Bret Harte, and, on the whole, as a novelist on a par with the best of those who live and have their being in the heart of hearts of American readers. If the author is dead—lamentable fact—his book will live.”—Philadelphia Item.
