Rh R D. BLACKMORE'S NOVELS.

His descriptions are wonderfully vivid and natural. His pages are brightened everywhere with great humor ; the quaint, dry turns of thought remind you occasionally of Fielding. — London I'imes.

Mr. Blackmore always writes like a scholar and a gentleman — Athe- nceiim^ London.

His tales, all of them, are pre-eminently meritorious. They are re- markable for their careful elaboration, the conscientious finish of their workmanship, their affluence of striking dramatic and narrative incident, their close observation and general interpretation of nature, their profusion of picturesque description, and their quiet and sustained humor. Besides, they are pervaded by a bright and elastic atmosphere which diffuses a cheery feeling of healthful and robust vigor. While they charm us by their sprightly vivacity and their naturalness, they never in the slightest degree transcend the limits of delicacy or good taste. While radiating warmth and brightness, they are as pure as the new-fallen snow. . . . Their literary execution is admirable, and their dramatic power is as exceptional as their moral purity. — Christian Intelligencer, N. Y.
