- MISS RAVENEL'S CONVERSION FROM SECESSION TO LOYALTY. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.
- "A most brilliant novel. The author's keen wit, tine humor, concise and telling style, and, above all, sincerity: his evident habit of seeing clearly and narrating faithfully facts that have fallen under his personal observation, would have insured an entertaining fiction, even with materials of far less intrinsic interest than those contained in "Miss Ravenel's Conversion.'"
- EUROPEAN ACQUAINTANCE: being Sketches of People in Europe. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.
- One of the most readable, pleasant volumes upon Europe, or rather upon persons there encountered by the author, published for some time. The charm of Mr. De Forest's book is his utter want of pedantry. He passes over what is called classic ground, and avoids referring to what other writers have said. He conveys his own impressions in a very agreeable manner.—Boston Transcript.
