"'The Valley of a Hundred Fires' will be one of the most widely read books of the season. In it are to be found some of the pleasantest characters we know of in fiction. The Rev. Mr. Leslie himself is excellent. It is impossible not to love his mixture of the human and the humorous. He is a happy combination of Mr. Longfellow's 'Kavanagh' and Mr. Bennett in 'Pride and Prejudice,' with just a dash of 'The Vicar of Wakefield.' The Bernards are capital, and also the Dawsons, and beyond all praise are the old twin-brothers, the Sabines. Not only is the drawing of good or quaint characters conspicuous in 'The Valley of a Hundred Fires'--the flashes of essay and descriptive writing are full of poetry and philosophy."--_Literary Gazette._ HIGH PLACES.
