It is a page taken from the book of life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning, Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.'- We have not, for some time, seen a work we could so deservedly praise, or so conscientiously recommend."— Literary Gazette.
