A charming colonial romance.--_The

It is in a word a fascinating, strong, well-told
story.--_The Church Review._

It is a delightful way to study history--one of
the best of ways--to read a book written by one
whose historical information is accurate.--_Boston
Advertiser._

The thread of romance and love is rendered most
attractive by the author's well-known bright and
attractive style, her delicately fashioned
descriptions, and her entertaining dialogue.--_N.
Y. Times._

Winsome and captivating, Content pleases us of
to-day as she did the lover who patiently waited
to obtain the gift of her not too easily engaged
heart, and the quiet story of her fortunes is well
worth following.--_Literature._

The volume entitled "Rod's Salvation," contains
four short stories, some of which are long enough
to be fairly called novelets.... "Rod's Salvation"
is a good picture of 'longshore life, telling of
the devotion of a sister to a scapegrace brother
and well worthy a reading.--_Springfield
Republican._

Miss Trumbull is blessed by a most delightful and
unpretentious gift of story-telling. Her work
suggests a twilight musician; she has a certain
dainty humor in her touch.--_The Citizen._
