Mr. Burroughs, as a careful observer of nature, and one of the most fascinating descriptive writers, is an author whose reputation will constantly increase; for what he does in not only an addition to our information, but to the good literature that we put on the shelf with Thoreau and White of Selborne.--Hartford Courant.

In free and flowing lines Miss Jewett has drawn exquisite pictures of river and road and woodland, that fascinate by their happiness of descriptive detail, and by the kinship to humanity which the author finds in the flowers and trees and fields. Her treatment of the individuality and life of nature is masterly, and the skill with which she projects her figures on the canvas of her imagination is effective and suggestive.--Boston Transcript.
