Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman says:

"There is not one of Mr. Mabie's books which I have not followed with love and interest. He confirms a growing impression that as an American essayist of the higher type, the author of My Study Fire and other volumes is a worthy successor to his living elders and to those who have passed away.

"Mr. Mabie's essays cheer and refresh me in my jaded hours," continues Mr. Stedman, "and give both knowledge and wisdom to the best among us. Like Lowell, he is in touch at once with nature and literature; and with Lowell for his early master-and with a style now so limpid, graceful, and strong that it makes him a kinsman with the most lovable and enduring essayists, and yet is singularly his own-he has taken a distinguished place among contemporary writers. I doubt not that you share my belief that his best work is still before him, and that this 'collective' edition will grow larger and richer as the years go by."

The New York Tribune, May 29, 1895, says :—

"Mr. Mabie is essentially a man of books, and his manner of discussing books is most real. He is also a lover of nature, but he exemplifies this not by minute details that give intense reality to the pictures of the great nature lovers, but by larger lines that leave a dreamy and shadowy effect on the reader.

"Mr. Mabie's literary opinions are orthodox rather than novel. What he seems to like best is to get his friends known or unknown into the mood which he himself enjoys. He accomplishes this in a meditative way, winding slowly about his theme and stirring the reader gradually to evoke his own thoughts. The process is very gentle. It may be that some time Mr. Mabie's works will take their place in a group which Dr. Holmes considered good bed-time reading. It is an honoured group, one would say, reckoning Burton and Browne as its leaders. Its qualities are not soporific, but sedative. It calms the flow of thought, steadies the attention which has been distracted by the thousand worries of the day. No author can be discredited who comes at length to find a place on the handy shelf where volumes of this sort lie. Mr. Mabie's moods are not numerous, and they are of the kind which almost every human being shares."
