SATURDAY REVIEW, Eng.:

"Amusing and readable ... Among the successful books of this order must be classed that which Mr. Bowles has recently offered to the public."

NEW YORK WORLD:

"This series of reflections, some philosophic, others practical, and many humorous, make a cheerful and healthful little volume, made the more valuable by its index."

CENTRAL METHODIST, Cattlesburgh, Ky.

"This is a romance of the sea, and is one of the most readable and enjoyable books of the season."

LUTHERAN OBSERVER, Phil.:

"The cargo on this wreck must have been above all estimate in value. How much 'Jetsam' there may be we cannot tell, but what we have seen is all 'Flotsam,' and will float and find its way in enriching influence to a thousand hearts and homes."

NEW YORK HERALD:

"It is a clever book, full of quaint conceits and deep meditation. There is plenty of entertaining and original thought, and 'Flotsam and Jetsam' is indeed worth reading."

CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, Nashville, Tenn.:

"Many of the author's comments are quite acute, and their personal tone will give them an additional flavor."

METHODIST RECORDER, Pittsburgh, Pa.:

"In addition to the charming incidents related, it fairly sparkles with fresh and original thoughts which cannot fail to interest and profit."

GOOD LITERATURE, New York:

"... Never fails to amuse and interest, and it is one of the pleasantest features of the book that one may open it at a venture and be sure of finding something original and readable."

HERALD AND PRESBYTER, Cincinnati, Ohio:

"His manner of telling the story of his varied observations and experiences, with his reflections accompanying, is so easy and familiar, as to lend his pages a fascination which renders it almost impossible to lay down the book until it is read to the end."

NEW YORK LEDGER:

"It is quite out of the usual method of books of travel, and will be relished all the more by those who enjoy bits of quiet humor and piquant sketches of men and things on a yachting journey."

NEW YORK STAR:

"Not too profound for entertainment, and yet pleasantly suggestive. A volume of clever sayings."

CHRISTIAN SECRETARY, Hartford, Conn.:

"It is a book well worth reading,... full of thought."

PRESBYTERIAN JOURNAL, Philadelphia:

"A racy, original, thoughtful book. On the slight thread of sea-voyaging it hangs the terse thoughts of an original mind on many subjects. The style is so spicy that one reads with interest even when not approving."

CHRISTIAN INTELLIGENCER, New York:

"No one can spend an hour or two in Mr. Bowles' gallery of graphic pen-pictures without being so deeply impressed with their originality of conception and lively, spicy expression, as to talk about them to others."
