Mrs. Stuart is one of some half-dozen American writers who are doing
the best that is being done for English literature at the present
time. Her range of dialect is extraordinary; but, after all, it is
not the dialect that constitutes the chief value of her work. That
will be found in its genuineness, lighted up as it is by superior
intelligence and imagination and delightful humor.--_Chicago
Tribune._

Mrs. Stuart is a genuine humorist.--_N.Y. Mail and Express._

Few surpass Mrs. Stuart in dialect studies of negro life and
character.--_Detroit Free Press._
