Bell, Lilian Lida (Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Bogue). [Carolina Lee.] †$1.50. Page.
An ardent Southern girl brought up abroad refuses to be comforted when her father dies. “How can you believe in a God who punishes you and sends all manner of evil on you while calling himself a God of love” expresses the burden of her distracted mind. She loses her fortune, she falls from a horse and becomes a cripple. Life looks hard and bitter. To her, in this state comes the healing truth of Christian science with its deep revelations of the power that can bind up the broken hearted, make whole and restore harmony.

The text and illustrations work out a unity of presentation interesting from a descriptive, historical and artistic standpoint. It is the record of a summer holiday in Brittany, and the observations include scenery, people, their homes, customs and manners, with now and then a dip into the religious and political aspects.
“We think [Mr. Bell’s drawings], indeed, better than those of any other colour-book on Brittany that has yet been issued. Mrs. Bell reveals in the arrangement and proportion of her book the skill of a practised writer, if in the loose style we are sometimes allowed to see the author almost ‘en déshabille.’”
