Mrs. Stuart is one of some half-dozen American writers who are doing the best that is being done for English literature at the present time. Her range of dialect is extraordinary; but, after all, it is not the dialect that constitutes the chief value of her work. That will be found in its genuineness, lighted up as it is by superior intelligence and imagination and delightful humor.—Chicago Tribune.

Mrs. Stuart is a genuine humorist.—N. Y. Mail and Express.

Few surpass Mrs. Stuart in dialect studies of negro life and character.—Detroit Free Press.
