" It is like traveling without leaving one's armchair to read it. Miss Duncan has the descriptive and narrative gift in large measure, and she brings vividly before us the street scenes, the interiors, the bewilderingly queer natives, the gayeties of the English colony."— Philadelphia Telegraph.

Barnum's Letter to the New York Tribune. " A brighter, merrier, more entirely charming book would be, indeed, difficult to find."— St. Louis Republic. A N AMERICAN GIRL IN LONDON.

" The raciness and breeziness which made ' A Social Departure,' by the same author, last season, the best-read and most-talked-of book of travel for many a year, permeate the new book, and appear between the lines of every page." — Brooklyn Standa rd- Union . " So sprightly a book as this, on life in London as observed by an American, has never before been written." — Philadelphia Bulletin.

    • Overrunning with cleverness and good-will." — New York Commercial Adver-

tiser. " We shall not interfere with the reader's privilege to find out for herself what, after her presentation at court and narrow escape from Cupid's meshes in England, becomes of the American girl who is the gay theme of the book. Sure we are that no one who Sokes up the volume — which, by the way, is cunningly illustrated— will lay it down until his or her, mind is at rest on this point." — Toronto Mail. New York: D. APPLETON & CO.* 72 Fifth Avenue.
