"This work possesses much interest, and, like all other works from the pen of T. S. Arthur, is of a high moral, and useful tone. To read any of Arthur's works must improve the character and the conduct, at the same time that they are not less interesting to the uncorrupted mind than the productions of those authors who pay no regard to the moral they convey. Mr. Arthur's works are all good. They inculcate morality, and expose every species of crime; they purify the feelings by illustrating the beauties of virtue, and iniquities of vice. This is one of the very best he has written, and a copy of it should be in every family and household in the land, for no one either old or young, can read it without profiting by it. Like all the writings of this author, there is a strong moral tone in this work, which cannot fail to produce a good impression on the mind of the reader. It will be read with interest by all the admirers of domestic novels, and will be seized on with avidity by the thousands of readers who prefer Mr. Arthur's useful and instructive sketches, to the flimsy literature that overstocks the market. This book is published uniformly with Mr. Peterson's editions of T. S. Arthur's publications. To Mr. Arthur the public are indebted for a species of composition that while it affords delight, conveys at the same time some moral and practical lessons in social life."
