"These tales like Julia Beresford's Ballad, mentioned in the first story, are neither showy nor brilliant, but natural, simple, and interesting.

"In the tales now before us we find much of the same merits as in ber beautiful story of Adeline Mowbray; the same truth and delicacy of sentiment, the same graceful simplicity in the dialogue parts of the work; and the same happy art of presenting ordinary feelings and occurrences in a manner that irresistibly commands our sympathy and affection." Ed. Rev.
