The New York Herald; says,
Impossible to find a handsomer book on outdoor life than this.
The author's peculiar faculty for describing days in the woods and rambles with good company has long been known.
“Daylight land” is longer than the book in which the same author made the Adirondacks seem some other place to men whose eyes were not as wide-open as his own, and the style is even breezier, if that is possible.
Seldom does a book appear which is so entirely creditable to author, artist, and publisher.
how
Deacon Tubman and Parson
Whitney kept New year's, and other Stories.
By
W. H. H. Murray, author of “
Adirondack tales,” etc. 12mo.
Illustrated. $1.25.
Deacon Tubman, a jolly, fat, good-natured man, is presented with a woollen night-cap on New Year's morning by his housekeeper, “a typical spinster not overburdened with fat.”
This so rejoices the
Deacon that he is possessed to make others happy, goes to call upon his pastor, and makes him leave his books and spend the day skating, sleighing, and driving with his parishoners.
