SCOTTISH SOCIETY says:—“The weirdly-covered little book with the strange frontispiece which comes to us under the title of ‘Idylls,’ will be read with great enjoyment by all whose sense of literary quality is sufficiently educated to appreciate the extreme delicacy of word-painting in water-colours, if it may be so expressed.... In every sense of the word, they are perfect representations of the idyll in its purest form,... impossible to criticise, and difficult properly to praise.”
