CLARA MORELAND.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.
Price Fifty Cents in Paper Cover; or, One Dollar in Cloth, Gilt.
READ THE FOLLOWING OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"This is decidedly the best novel Mr. Bennett has written. He tells his story well, and while leading the reader over the prairies of Texas into the haunts of the wild Indians, or among the equally savage bands of lawless men, that once were the terror of that country; he presents the remarkable transitions in the fortunes of his hero, in a manner which, though often startling, are yet within the bounds of probability. His dialogue is good, growing easily out of the situation and condition of the interlocutors, and presenting occasionally, especially in response, an epigrammatic poise, that is worthy of all praise. The plot abounds with adventure, and presents many scenes of startling interest, while the denouement is such as to amply satisfy the most fastidious reader's ideas of poetical justice. We would add a few words of praise for the excellent style in which this book is gotten up. It is well printed on good paper, and bound in a manner to correspond with the quality of its typography."--_Arthur's Home Gazette._
"This is the best of Mr. Bennett's books. It is a brilliant and thrilling production, and will particularly interest all who love to read of life in the West and South-West. A love story runs through the volume, lending grace and finish to it. Mr. Peterson has issued the book in very handsome style; the type is new and of honest size, the binding is strong and pretty, the paper is firm and white, and the embellishments are eminently creditable. Clara Moreland should command a large sale."--_Philadelphia City Item._
"On looking more carefully through this racy, spirited narrative of thrilling scenes and well-told adventures, we meet with beauties that escape a casual observation. Mr. Bennett is a keen discoverer of character, and paints his portraits so true to nature as to carry the reader with him through all his wild wanderings and with unabated interest. The author of 'Clara Moreland' takes rank among the most popular American novelists, and aided by the great energy of his publisher is fast becoming a general favorite."--_McMackin's Model Sat.u.r.day Courier._
"Emerson Bennett has written some very creditable productions. This is one of his longest, and is well received. Mr. Bennett is a favorite author with Western readers. It is ill.u.s.trated and well printed."--_Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper._
"It is a tale of wild border life and exciting incident, bustle, and turmoil."--_Philadelphia North American._
"Mr. Bennett is, in some measure, a new man in this section of the universe, and, as such, our reading public are bound to give him a cordial greeting, not only for this, but for the sake of that wide-spread popularity which he has achieved in the mighty West, and more especially for the intrinsic excellence that distinguishes his glowing, brilliant productions, of which 'Clara Moreland' may be p.r.o.nounced the best."--_Philadelphia Sat.u.r.day Courier._
"This work is of the most exciting character, and will be enjoyed by all who have a cultivated taste."--_Baltimore Sun._
"The scene of this interesting Romance lies in Texas before or during the late war with Mexico. It is written with a great deal of spirit; it abounds in stirring incidents and adventures, has a good love-plot interwoven with it, and is in many respects a faithful representation of Life in the Far South-West. Mr. Bennett is destined to great popularity, especially at the South and West. His publisher has issued this book in a very handsome style."--_Philadelphia Evening Bulletin._
"This is a thrilling story of frontier life, full of incident, and graphically sketched. It is published in a good style."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"This is a spirited narrative of stirring scenes, by Emerson Bennett.
Those who love daring adventure and hair-breadth escapes will find it an engaging book."--_Detroit, Mich., Paper._
"It is a thrilling narrative of South-Western adventure, ill.u.s.trated by numerous engravings."--_Detroit, Mich., Paper._
"It is a wondrous story of thrilling adventures and hair-breadth escapes, the scene of which is laid in the South-West. The book is ill.u.s.trated with engravings representing some of the exciting events narrated by the writer."--_Detroit, Mich., Paper._
"It is a work replete with stirring adventure. Romance, incident, and accident, are blended together so as to form a highly interesting work of 334 pages."--_New York Picayune._
