Literary Review of The Friendly Craft and Related Works
The piece critiques Miss Hanscom’s epistolary anthology The Friendly Craft and compares it to Lucas's model, praising its charm and historical light while noting uneven selections. It reviews Samuel Crothers By the Christmas Fire and Edward Sandford Martin A New Century, lauding Crothers’s humane non sermonizing style and Martins’s broad focus on American life, despite some lengthy passages about modern excess.
