...Andrew Carnegie [see letter in Appendix of World-Religion Sacred Scriptures] wrote: "I have purchased this book by the half-dozen several times and sent to friends." Through his unsolicited generosity the price of two volumes has been placed at the actual cost of publishing and delivery-- so that all interested in Cosmopolitan Religion and Ethics may be able to procure them. For the first and second editions of World Religion Sacred Scriptures a large number of very favorable Press and Personal Commendations were received by their publishers, George Putnam's Sons of New York and London...

We asked a chance half-dozen, and only four of them answered, "I don't know," and our pride limped away. Now perhaps this is not a fair question; perhaps, however, Mr. Johnson speaks the truth.

...Advocate this week is made up of a half-dozen pieces of fiction and as many experiments in verse. The stories, with one exception, are of men and things out of doors--by-products, perhaps, of vacation; one is told by a stagedriver, one by a guide, and one is a trapper's tale of long ago.
