insure for this—the only complete edition of the author's poems—the largest circulation.
“We know of none who have written more charmingly than Geo. P. Morris. He is,
indeed, the poet of home joys. None have described more eloquently the beauty and
dignity of true affection—of passion based upon esteem; and his fame is certain to
endure while Anglo-Saxon woman has a hearthstone over which to repeat her most cherished
household words.”
—Fraser's London Magazine.
“This author understands better than any other poet in the country the subtle and
Invisible links which connect words with music.”
—National Intelligencer.

THE IDLER OF THE ALPS,
OR, PYNNSHURST AND HIS WANDERINGS
BY DONALD MACLEOD.
1 vol., 12mo., cloth, Price $1 25.
“We have certainly, since Thackeray, had no such pleasant tourist; incidents, adventures,
comic as well as serious, anecdotes, descriptions, poetry, and satire, are most happily
intermingled, and the result is as delightful a volume for a summer day or a winter evening,
as we have seen for a long time.”
—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
“This is an eminently clever and readable work, which, we venture to predict, will
at once secure its author a distinguished place among American writers. It is a fine tissue
of humor, wit, and adventure, pathos and description, woven into just enough of acting
and moving story to create a lively interest.”
—Graham's Magazine.
