“Such virtues as the merely careful and temperate writer, whose gifts do not include art or style, may command, his book has.”

“Pat, ‘the upstart,’ son of a drunken Irish soldier who yet dies a heroic death, and of a bighearted washerwoman, fights his way up bravely, is not ashamed of his mother or of his finespirited and jolly Aunt Bridget, makes his mark as a lawyer and politician, and finally ‘gets the girl’—the daughter of a raging Berserker of a Swede (we suppose it is a Swede, the book says ‘Dootchman’), who is ‘King’ of the country all about, and with his six stalwart boys has terrorized the people.”—Outlook.
“It is a realistic narrative, simple and straightforward, with touches of humor, and unpretentiously successful in its execution.” Wm. M. Payne.
“Mr. Hyde has written a novel that is interesting as a story and not without value as a document of that phase of American life that is seen in the Middle West.”
“The book has some strikingly good qualities which, since it is a first novel, give promise of good work in the future. It has also some strikingly bad qualities. This atmosphere of unconscious democracy is the best thing in the book.”
“Altogether, this is a vigorous tale, homely but dramatic.”
Hyde, Rev. James.Old faith re-stated. *60c. Warne.
The subjects treated are the cardinal articles of the Christian faith, the titles for the chapters being taken from Scriptures; as “What think ye of Christ?” “The Word was God,” “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments,” “When the Son of Man shall come in His glory.” The aim of the restatement of faith is to aid the church in getting back to its original foundation.

“Desert stories of twenty-four travellers and explorers.... The majority of these explorations belong to the first half of the last century, and the arms and equipment of the men, often single-handed, who undertook them must appear miserably inadequate to any schoolboy.”—Spec.
“This volume is, in stirring details, in no way inferior to its companions.”
“On the whole, the author has produced a good and entertaining volume. He is content to write simply and let the actual facts supply all the thrills required to stimulate juvenile interests.” Cyrus C. Adams.
“There is material enough to keep a boy’s interest up to the highest pitch, and the book is well put together.”
*Hyrst, H. W. G.Adventures in great forests. **$1.50. Lippincott.
“The author observes that the period 1760–1860, which is roughly covered by his book, was the golden age of forest wanderings, and not unreasonably deplores the wasteful destruction of one of the finest features of nature. In this volume we are introduced to sportsmen and explorers in all parts of the world, from Stedman on his march through the forests of Guiana to De Saulcy botanizing in the forest region of the Jordan.”—Ath.
“Will revive recollections in adults; and inspire the young reader with something of the spirit of the past.”
“Recorded in a style which should attract all juvenile readers.”
