"Our author is characterized by a glowing and imaginative style, which seems to be the expression of a heart warmed by piety, and susceptible of the tenderest emotions. He displays a happy tact, in developing, in the most pleasing manner, the circumstances of a scriptural incident or character, and of deriving from it practical lessons."—Presbyterian.

MICHAEL KEMP,
The Happy Farmer's Lad. A Tale of Rustic Life, illustrative of the Scriptural Blessings and Temporal Advantages of Early Piety. By Anne Woodrooffe. Second Edition.
"Thoroughly and intensely have we read this book, 'because,' as Talbot said of Boswell's Life of Johnson, 'we couldn't help it.' We were struck with the ingenuous disposition and firm principles of Michael, and we wished to see how they would bear him through trying scenes. So much for the interest which the story excites; the other merits of the book are not inferior."—Baptist Advocate.
