“A pretty story of Canadian rural life. The heroine tells the tale, and we see her loving, helpful ministry to family and neighbors, yet sharing her father’s feud and trying to keep it up after his death. But justice and love are too strong for her filial theories, and the houses of Mallory and Carmichael are reconciled. The illustrations and marginal decorations do not add especially to the simple narrative.”—Outlook.

“A story with a distinct moral lesson—which lesson is well to the front in the author’s mind. Yet it is a very pleasant and readable story also—one which will recommend itself particularly to old-fashioned maiden ladies but need not necessarily on that account be scorned by younger and wiser persons.”

“What a few decades of spade-work have revealed of more than three thousand years of civilization is presented here, with the caution not to expect any connected history of it until future excavators shall have done the work awaiting them.”—Outlook.
