A Novel. By ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL. 16mo, Cloth, Extra, $1 00.
It is a genuinely pathetic tale, and shows a keen and accurate
knowledge of human nature under many varying conditions.--_Saturday
Evening Gazette_, Boston.
A story of sound moral quality and touching pathos.--_N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser._
There are many excellent delineations of scenes and life in
Scotland, Virginia, and Florida… The characters are also carefully
studied and successfully drawn. The heroine, the warmhearted,
impulsive, and gifted Nan, especially, is a very charming
personage… As a quiet story, with a pathetic vein running through
it, we can confidently recommend it to all.--_Congregationalist_,
Boston.
Full of life and movement, and marked by both power and
pathos.--_Zion’s Herald_, Boston.
The characters are very well drawn, and there is a natural
development of the plot… The descriptions of scenery are vivid and
life-like, and the scenes are totally free from the extravagance
which mars so much contemporary fiction. The author of this work
will be heard from again.--_Christian Intelligencer_, N. Y.
A novel of Scottish life, shifting to American scenes, and gives
the reader a glimpse of life in Virginia and Florida. The story is
told with much simplicity, though a study of heredity is in-wrought
with the artless narrative… The story is quiet in action,
but will please lovers of naturalness and faithful character
delineation.--_Commonwealth_, Boston.
The characters of the story are strong and the book well
written.--_Christian Advocate_, N. Y.
A strong hand has drawn the minister’s household in the manse of
Strathlowrie. Surely the author must have at some time made one of
just such a Scotch family, so graphic are the touches of reality…
Seldom has a grave story of a minister’s household been told with
such a rippling accompaniment of humor.--_Philadelphia Ledger._
A bright, engaging book, sparkling with shrewd Scotch wit on nearly
every page, and ends most satisfactorily.--_Christian at Work_, N. Y.
