The constable, Sellick, is an original character, and as minor figures where will we find anything better than Miss Wansey, and Mr.P.Pipkin, Esq.

The picture of Mr.Dink's school, too, is capital, and where else in fiction is there a better nick-name than that the boys gave to poor little Stephen Treadwell, "Step Hen," as he himself pronounced his name in an unfortunate moment when he saw it in print for the first time in his lesson in school.
On the whole, these books are very satisfactory, and afford the critical reader the rare pleasure of the works that are just adequate, that easily fulfill themselves and accomplish all they set out to do .-- _Scribner's Monthly_.
