“They are the very best of Mr. Arthur’s moral tales, and should
be a fixture in every household, being not only pleasant stories,
but the purest moral lessons. If such fictions only as these were
placed in the hands of our young people, and adopted as models, we
would have no reason to fear for them, whatever their condition in
life might be.”--_City Item._
“The honorable and virtuous sentiments, and the practical good
sense which pervades all the works of Mr. Arthur, are conspicuous
in the contents of the moral library.”--_Godey’s Lady’s Book._
“Mr. Arthur’s moral stories have justly received high commendation.
Their object is to improve, refine, and elevate the mind and the
manners.”--_Alexandria Gazette._
“They are all of thrilling interest, and high moral tendencies, and
should be in every family.”--_Fredricksburg, Va. News._
