and
we hope that on a future occasion Mr. Smith will use the material,
that he evidently has on hand, for a long romance. We believe Mr.
Smith's appeal to the literary public will be favorably
received."--_Star (Montreal)._

"Mr. Smith's book, 'A Lover in Homespun,' is sure to be found a
literary treat by the reading public. His stories have that polished
finish which is so difficult to attain, and which makes the short
story a work of art."--_Canadian Magazine._

"Mr. Smith is a talented writer; his style is pure and he possesses in
a high degree the principal gift of a novelist, imagination. Mr.
Smith's new book is made up of a dozen short stories, several of which
are French-Canadian. The author shows himself very sympathetic to our
race."--_La Presse (Montreal)._

"The contents of this volume give evidence not only of innate capacity
for story-telling, but of conscientious elaboration of the various
plots. All the stories have their characteristic merits, and they are
all Canadian."--_Gazette (Montreal)._

"A book to be looked for and read, and which is sure to go down to the
future."--_Our Monthly._

"As a writer of short stories Mr. Smith is truly
delightful."--_Massey's Magazine._

"The studies of French-Canadian character in this book are exceedingly
clever. The stories are peculiarly charming and the volume should
certainly be read by French-Canadians."--_Le Soir._

"This book is well written, and all the stories are very interesting;
some are very amusing, some pathetic and some thrilling. The scene of
each is in our own country. The book should certainly sell
well."--_Christian Guardian._

"Mr. Clifford Smith's book, 'A Lover in Homespun,' gives graphic
descriptions of habitant life by one who knows it well, or adventures
in the newer Canada of the North-West. The stories have all the same
sympathetic quality, the same rapid movement and strong situations,
and clever use of French-Canadian dialect which made Mr. Thomson's
stories so successful."--_Onward._
