"What cordial admiration, what honest unaffected praise, have we to

bestow on these etchings! Never did we see a more perfect harmony

expressed throughout between accomplishment and grace of hand and moral

beauty of mind. Not the most faultless of mere correctness of drawing

could have the effect which these etchings produce. Within outlines

imperfect as we have described them, often the most exalted fancies are

found. The arrangement is almost always excellent--than the groupings

of the figures, and the composition of each scene, nothing for the most

part can be better. And the beautiful sympathy with children that is

displayed, the enjoyment in their joy, their gay sports their tender

little thoughtful gravities and their innocent purity of affection

which brings round them the thoughts of angels--all this has most

delightful expression in 'A Children's Summer.'"--_Examiner._
