POTTS (W.).—From a New England Hillside. Notes from Underledge. By William Potts. Macmillan’s Miniature Series. 18mo, 75 cents.
“But the attraction of Mr. Potts’ book is not merely in its record of the natural year. He has been building a house, and we have the humors and the satisfactions, and hopes deferred, that usually attend that business. He has been digging a well, and the truth which he has found at the bottom of that he has duly set forth.... Then, too, his village is Farmington, Conn., and there Miss Porter has her famous schools, and her young ladies flit across his page and lend their brightness to the scene. And, moreover, he sometimes comes back to the city, and he writes pleasantly of his New York club, the Century. Last, but not least, there are lucubrations on a great many personal and social topics, in which the touch is light and graceful and the philosophy is sound and sweet.”—Brooklyn Standard-Union.
