“ Leaves from a Family Journal ” is a charming story, full of the finest feelings of human nature—pure in principle, safe in its morality. Every page teems with some good and wise precept. It is a book which every parent may read with profit, and place with certain advantage in the hands of a son or daughter.
The Critic, in reviewing this work, says, “ It is peculiarly a book for the family circle; for while it amuses as a narrative, it instructs insensibly, and that is the best of all instruction which teaches by example.”
“ It is a perfect picture of the hopes and fears, of the trials and joys of one family. The noble love of feeling displayed in every page of the work
is truly admirable.”—Bucks Chronicle.
“ The volume before us, from the nature of its subject, the beautiful simplicity and graphic truthfulness of its handling, is one to be welcomed in every home.”—Ladies’ Companion.
“ ‘Leaves from a Family Jourual’ is a charming history of a young couple, from their marriage until the time when their children are grown up and leave the paternal roof. There is plenty of variety, and the practical lessons are very happily inculcated.”—Atlas.
“ We need hardly add that the tendency of the book is to promote the love of all that is beautiful and true.”—Tait’s Magazine.
