BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
THE LUCK OF ROARING CAMP.
SIXTEENTH EDITION.
" Mr. Bret Harte has already won a reputation as one of the most original of American writers. The charm of his sketches is not only in his style. That has an undeniable grace and ease, a sub-flavor of gentle and spontaneous humor, hinting at possibilities of fun rather than bursting into uproar, and an adaptability to true pathetic feeling ; but there aro, many other writers who display the same qualities in quite as high a degree. His peculiar merit is that ho has reproduced familiar forms of life in plnses which we have all seen, but which no one has ever before painted; that he has caught the gleam of poetic light which irradiates at moments common and vulgar scenes, and detected elements of beauty which lurk beneath the coarser features of American life, beauty which we have felt a hundred times, but never learned to express in words."
