“Our author's descriptive powers are of the very first order,
and in his sketches of character there is no writer that better
understands the art of bringing out the salient features in high
relief, and of impressing an individuality upon the portraiture
that fixes the image perfectly in our mind, until it haunts us
like the figure of one we have intimately known. Mr. Simms
has opened a new and virgin mine in the treasures of Romance.
An unploughed field, which only needs cultivation to produce
the richest fruits.”
—Evening Gazette and Galaxy.
