A wonderfully sustained effort in imaginative prose, full of the glamour and opulent color of the tropics and yet strong with the salt breath of the sea .-- _San Francisco Chronicle._ Mr.Hearn is a poet, and in "Chita" he has produced a prose poem of much beauty....

His style is tropical, full of glow and swift movement and vivid impressions, reflecting strong love and keen sympathetic observation of nature, picturesque and flexible, luxuriant in imagery, and marked by a delicate perception of effective values .-- _N.Y.
Tribune._ In the too few pages of this wonderful little book tropical Nature finds a living voice and a speech by which she can make herself known.

All the splendor of her skies and the terrors of her seas make to themselves a language.

So living a book has scarcely been given to our generation .-- _Boston Transcript._ PUBLISHED BY HARPER & BROTHERS, NEW YORK.
