  "As an observer of American men and women and things Judge Grant is without a rival."—The Critic. "He has proved himself a domestic and social philosopher, happily commingling sharp vision with a good deal of rational philosophy touching practical matters and every-day relationships."—The Outlook. The Undercurrent Illustrated by F. C. Yohn. 12mo. $1.50 "First of all a novel, and an excellent one."—Review of Reviews. "It is a novel in that it has a simple and sympathetic romance for a basis; it is a great novel in that it presents each typical phase of modern life as a master would paint it, seizing the supreme moment and interpreting its significance."—New York Sun. "Into it has gone so much thought, so much keen observation, so much ripe reflection, that one lays it down with a feeling of respect amounting almost to reverence for the man who has brought to the complicated problems of our modern living such earnestness and such ability."—Interior, Chicago. "The discriminating reader cannot fail to find a keen pleasure in the fine literary art which the book displays, as well as the masterly fashion in which the story is developed."—Brooklyn Eagle. Search-Light Letters 12mo. $1.50 "The book has a unique character and flavor that ought to make it pleasant to the little company of faithful lovers of the English essay."—The Churchman. "Mr. Robert Grant is one of our brightest and wittiest writers, and he tells whatever he has to say in so graceful, happy, and amusing a fashion that everything he writes is thoroughly enjoyable."—Boston Herald. "Judge Grant has a keen eye for human weakness, but he looks with Emersonian benignity upon frailties, and he is not without the philosopher's optimistic note of hope."—Chicago Tribune. The Art of Living 12mo. $1.50 "Mr. Grant's style is easy and lively, his views of life are sound, his humor is pleasing, his wit keen. His book is as good an example of the art of writing as of the art of living."—The Independent. "We have never read a page of his writing of which he should be ashamed, either as a true gentleman or an unusually deft and clever weaver of the wholesome English language."—The Critic. "Crisp and delightful essays. The book is excellent and valuable in every sense of the word."—Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Unleavened Bread 12mo. $1.50 "No American writer for many years has wrought out a work of fiction so full of meaning, so admirable in its literary quality, and so large and comprehensive as this book of Mr. Grant's."—The Bookman. "The author has elaborated with perfect and convincing clearness a subtile problem in social evolution. And yet he gets into no intricate and fine-spun webs of theory. He sums up the whole case with judicial fairness and gives the devil his dues. The satire in it springs from abundant knowledge of actual social conditions. It is cutting, but it is not flippant or cynical. The book is written in dead earnest."—Life. "In depicting Selma Mr. Grant has produced a work of art so symmetrical and sincere that it deserves also to be called a work of science."—London Academy. "It would be difficult to find a modern novel cleverer than 'Unleavened Bread.' It is impossible within the narrow limits of a short paragraph to give any idea of the extreme cleverness with which Selma's character is drawn. An interesting study of American life, with a subtilely painted portrait of a delicate and virtuous female Pecksniff. The book is a great deal more than readable."—London Spectator. "A very remarkable novel, rich in ideas, strong in high appeal, of great interest to all students of life and character, and, especially, to every American who loves his country and desires the best things for her."—Boston Advertiser. The Bachelor's Christmas Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50 "Mr. Grant's short stories are models in their way. He always writes well and simply, with no affectations and with much humor."—New York Times. "Clever and interesting. Mr. Grant has a happy turn of words, with much appreciation of humor."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. "A most agreeable volume."—New York Sun. "Mr. Grant's humor is kindly, loving, pure, innocent."—New York Tribune. Reflections of a Married Man 16mo. $1.25 "A quiet and extremely pleasant social satire."—Providence Journal. "Writers of renown have drawn many true and vivid pictures of different phases of American life, but none has succeeded in presenting anything more typically American than that which is given us in this small book."—Chicago Evening Post. THE Opinions of a Philosopher 16mo. $1.25 "He at least is a laughing philosopher, and discusses the ups and downs of married and business and social life with a hopeful spirit. He is amusing and ranges from lively to severe in his running commentary."—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. "The book is altogether a delightful one and its freshness and sincerity are beyond all praise."—Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS |
