JOHN WINTERBOURNE'S FAMILY

"Is to be counted among the best novels of this entertaining writer ... written with a skilful and delicate touch."--_Springfield Republican._

"In its literary graces, in its portrayal of characters that are never commonplace though genuinely human, and in its development of a singular social situation, the book is one to give delight."--_Philadelphia Press._
