"A good book, this, in its cool brown linen cover, to take away to the mountains or seashore, or to put into the satchel, for the long journey, as our copy goes."—The Literary World.

"Abounding in humor of a quaint and refreshing quality, crisp and palatable from its unforced originality, there are also hidden springs of pathos which contribute to the beauty of the author's work."—Rochester Herald.

Shut in betwixt the pages of a book.
