| _From the Boston Traveller._ |
| |
| "After reading such a work, one can no more read an ordinary |
| book than one could enjoy a lunch on dry bread immediately |
| after having dined on Curry and Chili, washed down with |
| burnt brandy." |
| |
| _From the Baltimore Gazette._ |
| |
| "The cleverest novel of the season. The characters are few, |
| but remarkably well drawn; the dialogue fresh, crisp, and |
| sparkling, and the incidents thoroughly natural." |
| |
| _From the Cincinnati Chronicle._ |
| |
| "There is a singular freshness about this novel, often a |
| quaint originality of expression, always a smooth rippling |
| of words not without ideas, of seed thoughts, many of which |
| are well worth cherishing, and which may germinate and grow |
| in the reader's mind long after he has forgotten that 'Red |
| as a Rose is She,' and has ceased to wonder as to who is the |
| author who has so pleasantly entertained him." |
