Extract from Howitt's "Rural Life."
"And not less for that wonderful series of articles by Wilson, in Blackwood's Magazine—in their kind as truly amazing and as truly glorious as the romances of Scott or the poetry of Wordsworth. Far and wide and much as these papers have been admired, wherever the English language is read, I still question whether any one man has a just idea of them as a whole."
