gathering heavily, and threatening to settle down in misty
gloom on the summer of many a fair and promising young
life._"--SPECTATOR.

best traits, and cannot fail to infect the reader with a
love of nature and of out-door life and its enjoyments.
It is well calculated to bring a gleam of summer with its
pleasant associations, into the bleak winter-time; while
a better companion for a summer ramble could hardly be
found._"--BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.
