which she is now publishing in Harper's
Weekly is entitled to higher distinction
than the critics have awarded to her earlier
productions. AS picture of New England
life and character, as story of such sur
passing interest that he who begins it is
compelled to finish it, as work of art
without a fault or deficiency, we cannot
see how it can possibly be improved. Miss
wilkins must hencefoth take her place
among the most able, the most sympathetic,
and most enviable authors of this country.
