the most
interesting sketch of the four in the present
volume. It proves a thorough comprehension of the
noblest characteristics of the inhabitants of the
typical New England fishing village. The author
shows us diamonds in the rough, and with a most
happy talent, suddenly reveals to us the gleaming
beauties beneath their rude exterior. "Rod's
Salvation" is an inspiring story, the pathos of
which is accentuated by the delicate satire,
exquisite humor, and touches of kindly human
nature which lead one up to the unexpected
climax.--_The Church Review._

The keenness, quickness, and acuteness of the New
England mind were, perhaps, never better
illustrated than in her stories. Her conversations
are at times almost supernaturally bright; such
talk as one hears from witty, brilliant, and
cultivated American women--talk notable for
insight, subtle discriminations, unexpected and
surprised terms and persuasive humor.

"A Cape Cod Week" contains an account of the
adventures and achievements of three young women
who sought the seclusion, silence, and scenery of
Cape Cod, and who enlivened that remote and
restful country by flashes of talk often
brilliant, almost always entertaining. Miss
Trumbull's work is delightful reading: the
sameness of the commonplace and the obvious is so
entirely absent from it.--_The Outlook._

Annie Eliot Trumbull delights in fine descriptions
of nature as it exists. The book is capital
reading and its merits can be appreciated the
whole year round.--_New York Times._

A delightful, gossipy little sketch of a week's
holiday on Cape Cod. It is full of bright things,
imaginative to a degree, and yet based on facts as
we have all seen them on the sands of the Cape.
The book is beautifully printed and
bound.--_Boston Globe._
