“I have read it through with great joy. Both people and incidents appeal to my familiar memories of the New England country towns. This new author strikes me as having some of the merits of both Robert Frost and E. A. Robinson, plus a great deal more humor than either of them has.”

Curtis Hidden Page, professor of the English language and literature in Dartmouth College; editor, translator of “Songs and Sonnets of Ronsard”; essayist and poet.

“... They are the real goods, accurate, penetrating, and revealing. In fact, they are much more true to type than most of the accredited attempts to reproduce the New England man and woman in either verse or prose.”

Franklin H. Giddings, professor of sociology in Columbia University; author of “The Principles of Sociology,” “Pagan Poems,” etc.

“I have been profoundly amused and entertained by Mr. Bryan’s book of poems.... My only criticism of the volume is, that it ends too soon.”

William T. Hornaday, director of the New York Zoological Park; author of “The American Natural History,” “Old-Fashioned Verses,” etc.
