A NEW BOOK BY JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE.
SWEET CICELY.—A story of the Josiah Allen's Wife & Series. Of thrilling interest. Over 100 illustrations, 12mo, cloth, $2.00.
"Josiah Allen's Wife" has always been a shrewd observer of human nature as it reveals itself in the round of homely, every day life, and the keen sarcasm and adroit humor with which she lays bear its fables, its weaknesses and its grotesque outcroppings has rarely, if ever, been equaled. The strong feature of all Miss Holley's humor, is its moral tone. The present work will treat the "temperance sentiment" in new phase—that of a semi-humorous novel.
SOME OPINIONS OF "JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE":
The Woman's Journal, Boston: "The keen sarcasm, cheerful wit and cogent arguments of her books have convinced thousands of the folly of their ways,' for wit can pierce where grave counsel fails."
The Herald, New York: "Her fun is not far-fetched, but easy and spontaneous. She is now witty, now pathetic, yet ever strikingly original."
The Home Journal, New York: "She is one of the most original humorists of the day."
The New Era, Lancaster, Pa.: "Undoubtedly one or the truest humorists. Nothing short of a cast-iron man can resist the exquisite, droil and contagious mirth of her writings."
