GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

With Portrait. 18mo, cloth, 75 cents.

"Mr. Winter easily ranks among the most justly appreciative of critics and the most graceful of writers, and also was intimately acquainted with Mr. Curtis. From any point of view this eulogy commands a high degree of admiration, and will be read with wide attention and interest. It is a literary treasure in itself apart from its theme." - Congregationalist.

"It is the affectionate tribute of one who was a firm and intimate friend of the dead scholar and who knew the good qualities which were his. It is eloquent and pathetic in many instances, and full of reminiscence." - Chicago Times.

"A splendid tribute to one of the foremost men of letter America has produced."— Chicago Herald.

"William Winter's tender, appreciative, eloquent, and just eulogy on George William Curtis is rightly published in book form and will be read and cherished by thousands of earnest Americans. Mr. Winter has drawn a portrait full of color and feeling."- Boston Beacon.

"A fragrant tribute that now, embalmed between the covers of a book, will shed lasting sweetness." — Philadelphia Record.

"Mr. Winter's tribute to the memory of his lifelong friend is not a task done perfunctorily. Manifestly his heart inspired the words that he spoke. The verdict of the future respecting Curtis's rank as an author, as a man of letters, as an orator, and as a citizen, can hardly be made up without a reference to this tiny volume; for it embodies from the experience and observation of a clear-sighted contemporary a summary of the moral and intellectual forces that environed Curtis from his youth up. It shows that a thorough-going biography of the man would mean a history of the literature and politics of the nation during a most important period."- New York Tribune.
