"There are qualities in these stories of Mr. Page which we do not find in those of any other Southern author, or not to the same extent and in the same force and they are the qualities which are too often wanting in modern literature."—N. Y. Mail and Express.

Howard Pyle.

"If there is any writer of the time about whom the critics of England and America substantially agree it is Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson. There is something in his work, precisely what, it is not easy to say, which engages and fixes the attention from the first page to the last, which shapes itself before the mind's eye while reading, and which refuses to be forgotten long after the book which revealed it has been closed and put away."—The New York Mail and Express.
