They run the gamut of all simple feelings from the prattle of mere gladness to the gravity of tempered meditations, or the gush of childlike sorrows. The melodies are as charming as they are varied, and the descriptions are full of the sweetness. vitality, and movement of country sights and sounds.....The volume is delightful."
