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.
