OXFORD CHRONICLE.—‘The authoress has been designated “the Poet of Love, and Nature,” one who deserves the thanks of every student of early English literature for reviving one’s interest in old-time literature. Her claim to the eulogy is fully justified ... this latest production of her pen is thoroughly realistic, and contains word-pictures graphically descriptive of English country life.... Margaret is a gem, a perfect type of womanhood, calling forth love and admiration. The chapter containing the tragedy is ably written, and will commend itself to the approval of lovers of the dramatic; while the chapter on “Sorrow” appeals powerfully to the emotions.’
NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.—‘Deserves a hearty welcome at the hands of the general public, and especially of North-country people.... Mrs. Garland Mears’ style is fluent and forcible; she avoids all prevalent errors of latter-day writers, and depending entirely on her own thoughts, which she expresses in good English.’
SHEFFIELD DAILY TELEGRAPH.—‘The tale is most interesting and graphically written.... Mrs. Garland Mears has creditably added both in prose and poetry to the literature of the period.’
BRADFORD MERCURY.—‘The narrative is vividly told, and is interspersed with many historical references to Bradford. Mrs. Mears is a charming writer, and all her tales are graphically written.’
BRADFORD OBSERVER.—‘Considerable dramatic interest in the stories, and their relation to the West Riding of Yorkshire, will give them special interest in this neighbourhood.’
