In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, sll-

best work. Here we have--in q pleasant fiction
of talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country -philosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scrption, social out-looks--and, enliyenng all, a
fresh. crisp, yet juicy and delicious hrlnor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press The New York Times
says that these sketches, for light, airy, but
genuine delineatons OF character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day." The Boston Transcript says that "ior
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way" The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No, Ill "renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist OF

the N, Y. Mail says it is the best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many

says: "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
