"It is irresistibly humorous and true."--_Bishop John P.
Newman._

"It is as full of meat as an egg.... Calculated to do immense
good in that department of woman's rights which relates to her
participation in the great work of the Church of Christ, _beyond
the scrubbing and papering of the meeting-house_."--_Ex-Judge
Noah Davis._

"It abounds in mingled humor, pathos and inexorable common
sense."--_Will Carleton._

"It is exceedingly entertaining."--_New York Observer._

SWEET CICELY;

Or, Josiah Allen as a Politician. A Fascinating Story. Square 12mo, 390
pp. Cloth, $2.00.

"The interest of the book is intense.... Never was such a
defender of woman's rights, never was such an exponent of
woman's wrongs! In Samantha's pithy, pointed, scornful
utterances we have in very truth the expression of feelings
common to most thoughtful women, well understood among them, but
rarely finding voice except in confidential intercourses and for
sympathetic ears. Other women besides poor Cicely, and
warm-hearted, clear-headed Samantha, and 'humble' Dorlesky eat
their hearts out over the injustice of laws that they have no
hand in making, and can have no hand in altering, though ruin
and agony are their result.... It would be impossible to find in
literature anything more pitiful than this story of the struggle
of a gentle-natured woman against the dangers which surround her
child, and her agony as she realizes her helplessness to avert
evil from her fellow-sufferers. If it were not for the strong
vein of humor which lightens up the darkest passages, the
interest would be too painful. But Samantha intervenes with her
quaint epigrams and keen-witted analysis, and lo, a smile
broadens before the tear has dried!... Alongside of the fun are
genuine eloquence and profound pathos; we scarcely know which is
the more delightful."--_The Literary World, London, Eng._
