Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself" and "The Real Latin Quarter"
"It is a kaleidoscopic miscellany of anecdote, grave and gay; brief bits of biography and impressionistic portrayal of types, charming glimpses into Parisian life and character, and, above all, descriptions of the city's chief, and, to outward view, sole occupation--the art of enjoying oneself. Tourists have learned that Mr. Smith is able to initiate them into many mysteries uncatalogued or only guardedly hinted at by more staidly respectable and professional guides."--_The Globe_, New York.
"Smith's delightfully sympathetic Paris [Parisians Out of Doors] would make a wooden Indian part with his cigars."--_Frederic Remington._
"Naturally, these scenes and places and the persons who add the living touches to the pictures are described from the viewpoint of one who knows them well, for Mr. Smith holds the world of Paris in the hollow of his hand. This is an ideal book for summer reading."--_New York Press._
_12mo, cloth, handsome binding, illustrated with drawings by the author and several French artists, and water-color frontispiece by F. Hopkinson Smith $1.50 post-paid._
"Mr. Smith does not go sightseeing in the accepted sense of the word. It is not the museums and historical places in which he is interested, but _the people themselves_, and he gets many a view of which the hurried _tourist_ is altogether ignorant."--_Brooklyn Citizen._
Illustrated by the Author and other Artists
"The charm of this book lies in its breezy talk, its naive descriptions and its plenitude of atmosphere. It certainly is a most charming book and the reader will have a good time 'In London Town' if he goes with the author."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
"Everyday life and the living of it after British standards are what Mr. Smith sought and here reveals. He could not write an unreadable book, this American artist. It is all interesting that he has to tell of London Town."--_San Francisco Bulletin._
"The author conscientiously looks for the picturesque and he does much to show the brighter side of English life, for he writes in a light, bright, gay style that catches and holds the attention wherever one may open the book. Indeed he gives a true idea of the real life of the Londoner as few travellers would be apt to obtain unaided."--_Columbus (O.) State Journal._
