THEIR GOOD SENSE, SOUND ADVICE, AND GENIAL HUMOR COMMEND
THEM TO ALL.
“This series is one of the best of the kind we have ever met with. The writer is
evidently a shrewd observer, and he gives an infinite deal of wholesome advice in a
plain, open, straightforward manner. While he inculcates true religious principles, he
indulges in no cant, and his style is such as will at once attract the attention of those
for whom the work is written.”—New York Courier and Enquirer.
“Pleasantly told, and couched in such language that it cannot fail to win its way to
the hearts of the young. The subjects treated bear upon all the relations of life; and
the moral tone which characterizes every page, the earnestness which is breathed into
every line, and the genuine love of the good, the true, and the beautiful, which casts its
halo over the whole work, cannot fail to leave their impress on the mind of the reader.”
—Buffalo Courier.
“We have rarely read a volume which contained more plain, good, common sense or
practical advice. It is written in a taking style, and will be a treasure in many a household.”—
Boston Atlas.
“Their good sense, sound advice and genial humor, commend them to general perusal.”
—Albany Evening Journal.
The London Literary Gazette says:—“We have never read a work which better inculcates
the several duties and responsibilities of young men and women, married or
single.”
“The strong common sense which pervades them, the frank and manly utterance of
wholesome truths in pointed and beautiful language, and the genial sympathy which the
author has for those whom he addresses, cannot fail to commend the work to general
favor.
“FOR PURE ENGLISH DICTION AND BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY IT WILL
TAKE ITS PLACE AS A CLASSIC WITH IRVING'S SKETCH BOOK.”
“These letters are written with such frankness, honest and good sense, and exhibit
such a wholesome horror of humbug and cant, that we know the author must be a 'good
fellow,' and, while pleased to read his book, learn to like him.”—Hartford Press.
“They contain many truthful and valuable suggestions, presented in the cultivated
and attractive style of a practised writer. There is earnestness and hearty tone to
the whole which commends the book to the good explain of all.”—Hartford Times.
“Written in a style to both please and instruct. They entitle the author to the lasting
gratitude of the young as well as the old.”—Northampton Gazette.
