It abounds In pathos, and it is impossible for any one^to road some of its chapters with dry eyes. We have no doubt this work will meet with a large •ale and thousands of spell-bound readers." {from the New York HeraldL) "It is a very interesting book and gives some hints of prison life which are valuable." (From the New York Star) "Prison literature includes many of the greatest monuments of human geniuo. Bun yan wrote his 'Pilgrim's Progress' while in jail; Raleigh composed his 'History of the World' in prison, and Seth Wilbur Payne wrote •Behind the Bars'while in. the same iwvpleas- ant predicament. While employed in scrub­ bing the pavements and sweeping the floorsof bis temporary abode, he managed to interview as many of nis companions as possible, and wrote out their stories lor this book. The work is unique in style as well as subject, and tells many wholesome truths." (b'rom Ihi New York World.) Its matter is interesting and the story well told." , (From the Jersey City Herald.) •'Behind the Bars' is a thorough-going, de­ tailed and nervous account of the author's own experience, his trials and hnrdstiips, and those of other prisoners during his confine­ ment of eleven weeks in the Albany Peniten­ tiary. Mr. Pavne was sent to prison for one of the noblest acts of man, defending a betrayed and ruined woman from the pss iults of a cor­ rupt court." (From the Ifoboketi N. J. Neh».) The author presents his views with such a charming and inimitable frankness and good humor, that we are spell-bound while perus­ ing his prison experiences. It has all the vi­ vacity of a novel, glowing with life and radieut with beauty," (Frmn the New York Evening Mail.) Mr. Payne's new book is very interesting and shouh'l be generally read.
