The Editor of the Toronto Globe, after reviewing a number of other books pronounced our little volume to be the gem of the table.
Col. Denison, Toronto's police magistrate, "found many most interesting pieces on Canadian subjects in the volume."
Joaquin Miller, the American poet, hailed me as "my dear poet of the Canadian pasture fields," and he said I did wisely in singing of useful themes.
N. C. Thompson of Rockford, Ill., wrote us a large number of verses. We select the following:
"Your poem on the Bard of Ayr,
I like the best, I think it rare,
An equal love of Burns I share,
And read him oft,
O could I write like him 'twould bear
My soul aloft."
