No one can read this collection of short stories without feeling that he is master of the subject.”—Chicago Journal.“One of the most delightful books of short stories which have come to our notice in a long time.”—Boston Times.“The historian of the plains has done nothing better than this group of Western stories. Wayside courtships they are, but full of tender feeling and breathing a fine, strong sentiment.”—Louisville Times.JASON EDWARDS. An Average Man.“The average man in the industrial ranks is presented in this story in as lifelike a manner as Mr. Bret Harte presented the men in the California mining camps thirty years ago.... A story which will be read with absorbing interest by hundreds of working men.”—Boston Herald.A MEMBER OF THE THIRD HOUSE. A Story of Political Warfare.“The work is, in brief, a keen and searching study of lobbies and lobbyists. At least, it is the lobbies that furnish its motive. For the rest, the story is narrated with much power, and the characters of Brennan the smart wire-puller, the millionaire Davis, the reformer Tuttle, and Evelyn Ward are skillfully individualized.... Mr. Garland’s people have this peculiar characteristic, that they have not had a literary world made for them to live. They seem to move and act in the cold gray light of reality, and in that trying light they are evidently human.”—Chicago Record.A SPOIL OF OFFICE. A Story of the Modern West.“It awakens in the mind a tremendous admiration for an artist who could so find his way through the mists of familiarity to an artistic haven.... In reading ‘A Spoil of Office’ one feels a continuation of interest extending from the fictional into the actual, with no break or divergence. And it seems to be only a question of waiting a day or two ere one will run up against the characters in real life.”ALSO,A LITTLE NORSK; or, Ol’ Pap’s Flaxen.16mo. Boards, 50 cents.“True feeling, the modesty of Nature, and the sure touch of art are the marks of this pure and graphic story, which has added a bright leaf to the author’s laurels.”—Chicago Tribune.“A delightful story, full of humor of the finest kind, genuine pathos, and enthralling in its vivid human interest.”—London Academy.
