CRITICISM OF THE PRESS.
There are many incidents interlaced with the
plot; the whole story is very prettily written
Miss Hartland may henceforth take rank among
the most successful female novelists of the United
States.-N. Y. Com. Ado.
The construction Of the story is quite artistic,
and the s~prightly dialogue, as we'll as the excel
lent tone pervading it, will make it one of the
most popular fctions of the present year.
Phita. EUening NoiE.
From the first page to the last we have read
with increasing pleasure this charming narrative
of a life of mingled joy and sorrow, of trial and
consolation, of passion and of peace. = y
The moral of the story is prominent and unexcep-
tiOnable beauty and truth have clasped hands in
its recital.-Fred. NeUs.
We take especial pleasure in commencing this
earnest, chastely written and j~udicious story, as
one among the brilliant gems that have recently
made their appearance.
From its affectionate, heart speaking tDedica-
ton to my Brother and Sister, TO its close, the at
~tention is riveted with intense and irresistible
power.-MeNakia's American Courier, Phila.
