CRITICISMS ON GRACE AGUILAR"S WORKS.
HOME INFLUENCE.--"To those who really knew Grace Aguilar, all eulogium falls short of her deserts, and she has left a blank in her particular walk of literature, which we never expect to see filled up."--_Pilgrimages to English Shrines, by Mrs S. C. Hall._
MOTHER"S RECOMPENSE.--""The Mother"s Recompense" forms a fitting close to its predecessor, "Home Influence." The results of maternal care are fully developed, its rich rewards are set forth, and its lesson and its moral are powerfully enforced."--_Morning Post._
WOMAN"S FRIENDSHIP.--"We congratulate Miss Aguilar on the spirit, motive, and composition of this story. Her aims are eminently moral, and her cause comes recommended by the most beautiful a.s.sociations. These, connected with the skill here evinced in their development, ensure the success of her labours."--_Ill.u.s.trated News._
VALE OF CEDARS.--"The Auth.o.r.ess of this most fascinating volume has selected for her field one of the most remarkable eras in modern history--the reigns of Ferdinand and Isabella.... It is marked by much power of description, and by a woman"s delicacy of touch, and it will add to its writer"s well-earned reputation."--_Eclectic Review._
DAYS OF BRUCE.--"The tale is well told, the interest warmly sustained throughout, and the delineation of female character is marked by a delicate sense of moral beauty. It is a work that may be confided to the hands of a daughter by her parent."--_Court Journal._
HOME SCENES.--"Grace Aguilar knew the female heart better than any writer of our day, and in every fiction from her pen we trace the same masterly a.n.a.lysis and development of the motives and feelings of woman"s nature."--_Critic._
WOMEN OF ISRAEL.--"A work that is sufficient of itself to create and crown a reputation."--_Mrs. S. C. Hall._
