=Opinions of the Press.=

We know not where we will find purer morals, or more valuable
"life-philosophy," than in the pages of Miss Sewell.--_Savannah
Georgian._

The style and character of Miss Sewell's writings are too well-known
to the reading public to need commendation. The present volume will
only add to her reputation as an authoress.--_Albany Transcript._

This novel is admirably calculated to inculcate refined moral and
religious sentiments.--_Boston Herald._

The interest of the story is well sustained throughout, and it is

genius, consecrated to the noblest purposes, and should find a welcome
in every family circle.--_Banner of the Cross._

example of Katharine Ashton, in which there is much to admire and

parade of her own theological tenets.--_Boston Traveller._
