He has a wonderful faculty as a portrayer of New England characteristics, and New England scenes." _From the Salem Register._ "Mr. Trowbridge will find many welcomers to the field of authorship as often as he chooses to enter it, and to leave as pleasant a record behind him as the story of "Father Brighthope." The "Old Battle Ground" is worthy of his reputation as one of the very best portrayers of New England character and describers of New England scenes." THE GELDART SERIES. By Mrs. THOMAS GELDART.
