Excerpt from Now-a-Days In this little volume, the authoress has endeavored to give a few faithful pictures of life, now-a-days, and, in doing this, she has painted always from nature. Every scene, in which the story is laid, has been familiar to her own eyes, imagination has scarcely added finishing touches to the landscapes and portraits she has drawn. Maine backwoods life she has, especially, aimed to make true to nature, as it is the first time that it has ever been admitted into romance-world. The manners and customs of this, hitherto, far-off and "unknown land, " she has examined for herself. She has, herself, passed over the rough road which Esther travels with her loquacious guide, she has rested at the same roadside inns.
