“These simple and beautiful stories are all highly endued with an exquisite
perception of natural beauty, with which is combined an appreciative sense of its
relation to the highest moral emotions.”
—Albany State Register.
“There is a fine vein of pure and holy thought pervading every tale in the volume;
and every lover of the beautiful and true will feel while perusing it that
he is conversing with a kindred spirit.”
—Albany Evening Atlas.
“The journey through Dream-Land will be found full of pleasure; and when
one returns from it, he will have his mind filled with good suggestions for practical
life.”
—Rochester Democrat.
“The anticipations we have had of this promised book are more than realized.
It is a collection of beautiful sketches, in which the cultivated imagination of the
authoress has interwoven the visions of Dream-Land with the realities of life.”
Ontario Messenger.
“The dedication, in its sweet and touching purity of emotion, is itself an earnest
of the many `blessed household voices' that come up from the heart's clear
depth, throughout the book.”
—Ontario Repository.
“Gladly do we greet this floweret in the field of our literature, for it is fragrant
with sweets and bright with hues that mark it to be of Heaven's own planting.”
Courier and Enquirer.
“There is a depth of sentiment and feeling not ordinarily met with, and some
of the noblest faculties and affections of man's nature are depicted and illustrated
by the skilful pen of the authoress.”
—Churchman.
“This collection of stories fully sustains her previous reputation, and also gives
a brilliant promise of future eminence in this department of literature.”
Tribune.
“We find in this volume unmistakeable evidences of originality of mind, an
almost superfluous depth of reflection for the department of composition to which
it is devoted, a rare facility in seizing the multiform aspects of nature, and a still
rarer power of giving them the form and hue of imagination, without destroying
their identity.”
—Harper's Magazine.
“In all the productions of Miss Chesebro's pen is evident a delicate perception
of the relation of natural beauty to the moral emotions, and a deep love of the true
and the beautiful in art and nature.”
—Day-Book.
