SEVEN SPANISH CITIES, AND THE WAY TO THEM. By E.E. HALE. 16mo. Cloth. Price, $1.25
"Whatever else the Rev. Edward Everett Hale may or may not be, he is, on paper, a most delightful travelling companion; and in his new volume, 'Seven Spanish Cities,' he is at his most genial, companionable, agreeable best. He has the sharp perception, the quick, light touch, which are the making of a book like this, while his ready sympathy and the endless exuberance of his fancy throw a glamour over the most common objects. The book is thoughtful, entertaining, and, above all--for that is the prime requisite in a volume of travels--eminently readable."--_Boston Courier._
"There is more to be learned from Edward Everett Hale's little book, 'Seven Spanish Cities and the Way to Them,' than from several more elaborate and pretentious works on the peninsula which have been issued this year. Mr. Hale had only seven weeks to spend in Spain, but he is so good an observer that he managed to see as much in this short vacation jaunt as many men would discover in seven years. It is needless to say that everything he saw is faithfully shared with the reader, as well as his bright comment on the people and the country. His style is his own, but it is a great pity that he cannot share this with many writers. It is one of the most attractive of styles--destitute of all pretense, straightforward, never slovenly, never involved; it is like the suggestive table-talk of a wise man--full of all manner of surprises, delightful in its absence of premeditation."--_San Francisco Chronicle._

"Some of the more important pieces make almost equal and very high demands alike on my sympathy and my admiration, and I hope you may long be enabled to cherish the enviable gift of finding utterance for truths so deep in forms of so much power and beauty."--_Letter from Mr. Gladstone._
"Those readers of verse who need not only music for the ear, but clear and satisfying thought for the intellect, will find much in 'Songs Unsung' to interest and stimulate."--_Christian Union._
