MR. HOWELLS'S LATEST NOVEL.
INDIAN SUMMER.
The "Christian Register" says that it has more of sweetness than all Howells's previous works, that its local color is exquisite, and that "the situation could not be more attractive than it is."
The London "Saturday Review" says: "Around and beneath it all is the exquisite Italian atmosphere, in which no one knows better than Mr. Howells how to steep his pictures."
The Chicago "Tribune" also finds this subtle characterization: "The city to which Mr. Howells leads his readers is not the revelling, brilliant Florence of Ouida. It is rather the Florence of Hawthorne,--quaint and dreamful. The story reminds one of a plant which grows in Old-World gardens,--so unobtrusive it is, and yet so rich in suggestion, so subtle-scented."
The last "Lippincott's Magazine" says: "It will rank with the most charming of the author's work.... It is almost his first spiritual work. Not only has Mr. Howells thus risen above his own standards in this latest work, but he has risen above the standard of other novelists in one unique respect."
