"Orange Blossoms" contains a number of short stories of society.
Like all of Mr. Arthur's works, it has a special moral purpose, and
is especially addressed to the young who have just entered the
marital experience, whom it pleasantly warns against those social
and moral pitfalls into which they may almost innocently plunge.

"Although it is in the form of a novel, its truthful delineation of
characters is such that in every village in the land you meet the
broken manhood it pictures upon the streets, and look upon sad,
tear-dimmed eyes of women and children. The characters are not
overdrawn, but are as truthful as an artist's pencil could make
them."--_Inter-Ocean, Chicago_.

"Jane Austen, a woman of whom England is justly proud. In her
novels she has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a
certain sense, common-place, all such as we meet every day. Yet
they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they
were the most eccentric of human beings.... And almost all this is
done by touches so delicate that they elude analysis, that they
defy the powers of description, and that we know them to exist only
by the general effect to which they have contributed."--_Macaulay's
Essays_.
