"_If Capt. Hall should survive the perils of the journey on which he is now engaged, we are convinced he will bring home some news, be it good or bad, about the Franklin expedition. He can hardly be expected back before the autumn of 1866. But if he has gone he has left us his vastly entertaining volumes, which contain much valuable information, as we have said, concerning the Esquimaux tribes. These volumes are the best that we have ever met with, concerning the people and things to be found among the thick ribb'd ice.'_"--Standard.
"_The pen of Wilkie Collins would fail to describe in more life-like terms of horror the episode of the cannibal crew escaped from a whaler who boarded the 'George Henry' on the outward passage of that ship. We are tempted to relate how an Innuit throws a summersault in the water in his kyack, boat and all, and to introduce our readers to our Author's dogs, including the famous Barbekerk; but we must pause, and refer to this most interesting work itself, which will repay perusal._"--Press.

"_One of the most real, interesting, and instructive pieces of religious biography of the present day._"--Nonconformist.
"_We have waited for the publication of the second and last volume of this interesting, we may well say entertaining, biography, before introducing It to our readers. It is now complete, and furnishes one of the most various and delightful portraits of a fine, sturdy, old representative of ancient theology and earnest piety, relieved by very sweet and engaging pictures of New England society in its religious circles, and the ways and usages of the men and women who lived, and loved, and married, and had families nearly a century since.... And now we must lay down these very delightful volumes. We trust we have sufficiently characterized them while there are, of course, reminiscences, pictures of places and of persons we have been unable even to mention. It was an extraordinary family altogether; aglow of bright, affectionate interest suffuses all in charming sunshine. It was a life of singular purpose, usefulness, and determination and ice think ministers especially, and of ministers young students especially, might read it, and read it more than once, to advantage.... Without attempting any more words, we hope we have sufficiently indicated our very high appreciation of, and gratitude for, this charming and many-sided biography of a most robust and healthy life._"--The Eclectic.
"_All that the old man writes is clever and sagacious._"--Athenæum
