~THE NATION.~--The whole volume breathes the peace, quiet pleasures, and domesticity of Wordsworth's home; the closing chapters, which contain in a few words the story of how his sister's mind became weakened and dull in consequence of a severe illness, and how the care of her was one of the poet's most cherished occupations in his last aged years, are full of pathos. ~UTICA PRESS.~--Mr. Lee pays a beautiful tribute to the memory of Dorothy Wordsworth. It is a charming book, exceedingly graceful in style, abounding in interest from the first page to the last--in fact, it is one of the most delightful biographies written for many a day. ~DAYTON DEMOCRAT.~--The author modestly claims for himself no more credit than is due to a compiler; a claim, however, which those who read his book will be disposed to dispute.... It is a mosaic so nicely fitted together, and pervaded by the appreciative spirit of her biographer that it seizes upon the reader with the inexpressible charm of a well-written book. ~BOSTON COURIER.~--Mr. Lee has written enthusiastically, yet with judicious restraint. The tender regard of the brother and sister, their close intellectual union, and the influence Dorothy had upon the development of the poet's genius, are clearly shown and well treated. The book adds to the reader's knowledge of Wordsworth, by presenting his character in a new point of view, and will be heartily welcomed by all lovers of the poet. ~PITTSBURGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.~--The author has rendered valuable service. With fidelity, delicacy and true appreciation of her character and worth, he presents the life of this excellent woman. ~NEW YORK INDEPENDENT.~--A delightful sketch. An altogether charming book. ~NEW YORK TIMES.~--It may be said, as praise of Mr. Lee's monograph, that he prepares the reader to accept without criticism his final declaration that Dorothy Wordsworth was the most perfect sister the world hath seen. ~BOSTON GAZETTE.~--Told with a literary skill that makes it very interesting reading. ~BOSTON TRAVELLER.~--He writes with enthusiasm and charm of style. ~BOSTON COMMONWEALTH.~--An altogether delightful book. ~PHILADELPHIA BULLETIN.~--The volume has a peculiar charm. ~PHILADELPHIA RECORD.~--The delightful and simple manner in which he has done his work, and the impress of his individuality, which he has left on almost every page, give the book a decided originality. ~PALLADIUM.~--Just and appreciative. Will fill a long-felt want. ~CHICAGO JOURNAL.~--The book has a singular sweetness and charm about it. ~THE CRITIC.~--An idyll surely, and one which could scarcely be better told than in the volume before us. The writing of the book has evidently been a labour of love with Mr. Lee, and it has been even better done than such labours are apt to be. It is a delightful picture that he gives us of William and Dorothy. Transcriber's Note: Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note.
