“This is a very readable story of country life, though it is not equal to ‘The manor farm.’ The plot is a little thin.”

“Inconsequent as the story is, it is readable, and perhaps we have found it the more provoking because indications are not wanting of the author’s capability of really good work.”

“This book is a collection of biographical sketches relating to the chief personages in England at the time of the civil war. The only connection that binds them together is the common period of which they treat and the historical thread that runs through them. The political, military, religious, literary, and social figures of the time are all illustrated in these essays, which taken together, thus present in a way a sort of picture of the moving forces of the period.”—N. Y. Times.
“Is not an instructive or a well-written book.”
