“A book which has afforded us no slight gratification.”—Athenæum.
“From the mixture of description, anecdote, biography, and criticism, this book is very pleasant reading.”—Spectator.
“A more agreeable and entertaining book has not been published since Boswell produced his reminiscences of Johnson.”—Observer.
XI.—MARGARET AND HER BRIDESMAIDS.
BY THE AUTHOR OF “THE VALLEY OF A HUNDRED FIRES.”
“We recommend all who are in search of a fascinating novel to read this work for themselves. They will find it well worth their while. There are a freshness and originality about it quite charming, and there is a certain nobleness in the treatment both of sentiment and incident which is not often found.”—Athenæum.
XII.—THE OLD JUDGE; OR, LIFE IN A COLONY.
BY SAM SLICK.
“A peculiar interest attaches to sketches of colonial life, and readers could not have a safer guide than the talented author of this work, who, by a residence of half a century, has practically grasped the habits, manners, and social conditions of the colonists he describes. All who wish to form a fair idea of the difficulties and pleasures of life in a new country, unlike England in some respects, yet like it in many, should read this book.”— John Bull.
