Our
American
By W. E. Adams. V^ \_) U jl IN O .
The author brings to his work acute penetration, a keen
observation, a graphic picturesque style of presenting his
impressions, and a quiet humour that finds expression in
quoting amusing scraps from newspaper stories and sayings
that aptly illustrate the case in point. —New York Herald.
That Mr. Adams is a person with a power for observing
closely, describing impartially, and arriving at conclusions
sustained by his process of argument, cannot be doubted by
those who read his interesting work. — New York Evening
Telegram.
We can heartily recommend Mr. Adams's book to those
Englishmen who want to know something about America. —
Saturday Review, 13th October 1883.
. . . We can say emphatically and truthfully of Mr
Adams's book that it is by far the best work of its kind we
have yet seen. — Knowledge.
. . . Altogether, it is a sober, sensible book, by a level-
headed observer of men and things. — Pall Mall Gazette,
12th November 1883.
People who want to know what Americans are like, and
how they live, cannot do better than consult Mr. Adams's
work, in which they will not find a single tedious page.—
Scotsman, 13th September.
