A TALE FOR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
By GRACE AGUILAR.
"Grace Aguilar wrote and spoke as one inspired; she condensed and spiritualized, and all her thoughts and feelings were steeped in the essence of celestial love and truth. To those who really knew Grace Aguilar, all eulogium falls short of her deserts, and she has left a blank in her particular walk of literature, which we never expect to see filled up."—Pilgrimages to English Shrines, by Mrs. Hall.
"A clever and interesting tale, corresponding well to its name, illustrating the silent, constant influence of a wise and affectionate parent over characters the most diverse."—Christian Lady's Magazine.
"This interesting volume unquestionably contains many valuable hints on domestic education, much powerful writing, and a moral of vast importance."—Englishwoman's Magazine.
"It is very pleasant, after reading a book, to speak of it in terms of high commendation. The tale before us is an admirable one, and is executed with taste and ability. The language is beautiful and appropriate; the analysis of character is skilful and varied. The work ought to be in the hands of all who are interested in the proper training of the youthful mind."—Palladium.
"In reviewing this work, we hardly know what words in the English language are strong enough to express the admiration we have felt in its perusal."—Bucks Chronicle.
"The object and end of the writings of Grace Aguilar were to improve the heart, and to lead her readers to the consideration of higher motives and objects than this world can ever afford."—Bell's Weekly Messenger.
"'Home Influence' will not be forgotten by any who have perused it."—Critic.
