'Miss Woodcock's charming little volumes are everything that could be desired. It would be difficult to find collections of stories and lessons at once so well suited to the tastes and capacities of children, and so likely to plant and foster right principles, and to mould and build up a good and noble character.'—Rev. C. C. M'Kechnie.
'Our respected author is scarcely fair in presenting this capital collection to the young of her own denomination only, as indicated in her preface. The excellence of her work commends it to the young of all denominations.'—The Christian Age.
'This little book is remarkably well adapted to convey moral and religious instruction to boys and girls from six to ten years of age. The stories are just of such a sort, and told in such a way, as are most likely to interest and impress the heart when the heart is most susceptible of impression.'—Christian Ambassador.
'Our children are delighted with 'Gems,' and we sincerely hope that it will have the large sale that it deserves.'—Dr. Lamb, Hull.
'I can truly say of 'Gems' that it is one of those books, interesting, pleasing, and profitable, that need multiplying to prevent youthful readers from getting an appetite for that senseless, vicious literature now so temptingly offered to them. If it be read as extensively as it deserves to be, by our young people, the authoress, I am sure, will be abundantly encouraged.'—Rev. Joseph Wood, M.A., Secretary of the Sunday School Union.
