CRITICISMS ON GRACE AGUILAR'S WORKS.
_HOME INFLUENCE._--"Grace Aguilar wrote and spoke as one inspired;
she condensed and spiritualized, and all her thoughts and feelings were
steeped in the essence of celestial love and truth. 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. 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 alms are eminently moral, and
her cause comes recommended by the most beautiful associations. These,
connected with the skill here evinced in their development, insure the
success of her labors."--_Illustrated News._
_VALE OF CEDARS._--"The authoress 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. The tale turns on the
extraordinary extent to which concealed Judaism had gained footing at
that period in Spain. 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 Rev._
_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 analysis 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._
