His descriptions are wonderfully vivid and natural.
His pages are brightened everywhere with great
humor; the quaint, dry turns of thought remind you
occasionally of Fielding. — London Times.
His tales, all of them, are pre-eminently
meritorious. They are remarkable for their careful
elaboration, the conscientious finish of their
workmanship, their affluence of striking dramatic and
narrative incident, their close observation and general
interpretation of nature, their profusion of
picturesque description, and their quiet and sustained
humor. — Christian Intelligencer, N. Y.

We have long admired Miss Wilkins as one of the
most powerful, original, and profound writers of
America; but we are bound to say that “Pembroke” is
entitled to a higher distinction than the critics have
awarded to Miss Wilkins’s earlier productions. As a
picture of New England life and character, as a story
of such surpassing interest that he who begins is
compelled to finish it, as a work of art without a
fault or a deficiency, we cannot see how it could
possibly be improved — N. Y. Sun.
The simplicity, purity, and quaintness of these
stories set them apart in a niche of distinction where
they have no rivals. — Literary World, Boston.
Nowhere are there to be found such faithful,
delicately drawn, sympathetic, tenderly humorous
pictures. — N. Y. Tribune.
The charm of Miss Wilkins’s stories is in her
intimate acquaintance and comprehension of humble life,
and the sweet human interest she feels and makes her
readers partake of, in the simple, common, homely
people she draws. — Springfield Republican.

There is a certain bright cheerfulness in Miss
Woolson’s writing which invests all her characters with
lovable qualities. Jewish Advocate, N. Y.
Miss Woolson is among our few successful writers of
interesting magazine stories, and her skill and power
are perceptible in the delineation of her heroines no
less than in the suggestive pictures of local life. —
Jewish Messenger, N. Y
Constance Fenimore Woolson may easily become the
novelist laureate — Boston Globe.
Miss Woolson has a graceful fancy, a ready wit, a
polished style, and conspicuous dramatic power; while
her skill in the development of a story is very
remarkable. — London Life .
Miss Woolson never once follows the beaten track of
the orthodox novelist, but strikes a new and richly-
loaded vein which, so far, is all her own; and thus we
feel, on reading one of her works, a fresh sensation,
and we put down the book with a sigh to think our
