" More literary gems could be picked from this than almost any recent volume we know. It is 

 a repository of select thoughts — the fruit of much reflection, much reading, and many years." — 

 ScatsTnan. 



"■ It is long since we have met with a more remarlcable or worthy book. Mr Smith is always 

 thoughtful and su^estive. He has been entirely successful in carrying out his wish to produce a 

 volume, in reading which, a thoughtful man will often pause with his finger between the leaves, 

 and muse upon what he has read. We judge that the book must have been written slowly, and at 

 intervals, from its affluence of beautiful thought. No mind could have turned off such material 

 with the equable flow of a stream. "We know few works in which there may be found so many 

 fine thoughts, light-bringing illustrations, and happy turns of expression, to invite the reader's 

 pencil." — Fraser's Magazine.
