Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dobleys
The Dobleys appeared within the current year as a series of Sunday stories written for the New York Sun and were not originally intended for book purposes. They have proved very popular, attaining a plentiful and delightful tribute of home approval, evidenced in many letters, all commending the Dobleys. This gratifying fire side vogue was unexpected and unaimed at by the writer. It can only be explained by the fact that the sketches present a condition somewhat daring and unusual to touch upon in these modern days - that of domestic happiness, so generally relegated to the extinct fashions. This may be the reason for the place which the Dobleys have found in the bosom of the American family.
