“A well written, spirited and interesting work. It is full of character, sparkling with conversation and picturesque with paintings of nature. The plot is well conceived and handsomely wrought out. There is a freshness of feeling and tone of healthy sentiment about such novels, that recommend them to public favor.”—Albany Spectator.
