There can be comparatively few persons unacquainted with the geniality of William 

 Kidd's mind. His extensive series of interesting Papers in the Gardener's Chronicle, 

 (ranging over a number of years.) has made him known in all quarters of the world. * * 

 He writes powerfully, truthfully and gracefully ; and his pen is unceasingly active for the 

 public good. — Critic. 



It is to the originality and wholesomeness of his ideas, as well as to his happy and honest 

 manner of expressing them, that William Kidd owes his great popularity as a public 

 writer. His pictures are from life. His portraits, though not always flattering, are yet 

 " correct liknesses." * * * Anxious to be exact, he refuses to build upon another man's 

 foundation, and therefore speaks of the world and its inhabitants only as seen with his own 

 eyes. Thus we are pi-esented with " Studies after Nature," — not caricatures ; facts, — not 

 fiction. — Weekly Chronicle. 



The avowed advocate of all that is good, pleasing, amiable, and natural, Mr. Kidd is 

 unwearied in his efforts to make society better than it now is. * * Blessed with a generous 

 heart, a kind spirit, and a loving disposition, he accomplishes easily, what many labor at 

 year after year, — tind perhaps never accomplish at all. — Leeds Intelligencer.
