This series of historical narratives is scarcely inferior in interest to Sir Walter
Scott's "Tales of a Grandfather."'' Mr. Abbott has a remarkable power of seizing
on the most available -features of the character which he undertakes to delineate,
and is never at a loss for forcible and felicitous expression.-Courier and Enquirer.
This book ranks fairly with its predecessors in that beautiful series which we have
so often noticed and approved. The story of Madame Roland and the French Revolution, as far as necessary to make her memoirs intelligible, is told with that graceful ease and transparent perspicuity which mark all these books of Mr. Abbott.Richmond Watchman.
WrIG tnintutft.
Charming compendiunms of history. WVe know of few books we are more ready
to commend to the public than Mr. Abbott's. They fill a little place which has
heretofore been empty.-Two Worlds.
Another of the crimson-garbed works of the historic series that have proved themselves so popular, not only with the young, but all classes of readers. * * * The details are given with clearness and simple beauty; the style suitable to the comprehension of the child, as being interesting to the adult.-ALFRED B. STREET.
The author seems gifted with that peculiar faculty, possessed by so few, of holding communion with and drawing out ardent imagination and budding genius, and
at the same time of directing both into the great channel of truth. The labors of such
a man are productive of incalculable good, and deserve the highest reward.-New
Hampshire Patriot.
