rald._ "So absolutely true to life that it is hard to consider it fiction."--_Boston Post._ By HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON V. V.'S EYES "'V. V.'s Eyes' is a novel of so elevated a spirit, yet of such strong interest, unartificial, and uncritical, that it is obviously a fulfillment of Mr. Harrison's intention to 'create real literature.'"--_Baltimore News._ "In our judgment it is one of the strongest and at the same time most delicately wrought American novels of recent years."--_The Outlook._ "'V.
