Either the most or the least perceptive comment ever on Melville's Pierre (1852):
PIERRE; or, The Ambiguities. By Herman Melville. Harper & Brothers.— A book bearing the above title is before the people. Its contents are written with ability, and are quite chaste and unobjectionable for the refined taste. It is deserving of a ready sale. John Grubb has a supply in his bookstore. -- Poughkeepsie Eagle, August 7, 1852
