“Fiction, if this be altogether fiction, can hardly be better employed than when it makes such sweet, simple earnestness real to us.”—Public Opinion.
“Her accounts of these (an anti-slavery fair and the trial of a fugitive slave) seem to be descriptions of actual happenings, and she describes men and incidents vividly, but with no straining after effect…. A book to be welcomed.”—New York Times.
“No greater contrast could be imagined than that of these quiet but deep tales and the shallow passions of much contemporary fiction.”—Literary World.
