(The London Review.)
‘Mrs. Linton’s literary sketches are full of true feeling for the country they portray, and in imparting the writer’s own animation to the reader, bring before his mental vision the glory and the gloom, the majesty and the beauty, the pathos and the power, the loveliness and the desolation, of the mountains, lakes, and moors of Cumberland and Westmoreland. Of Mr. Linton’s designs we cannot speak too highly. They are drawn and engraved with the hand of a master, and bring before our vision, with exquisite truth and feeling, all the rugged beauty of the land they commemorate.’
