Synopsis:
"Mr. O'Connor's Christmas story is really so good that we cannot but regret [the seeming imitation of Dickens] The incident on which the latter turns--the softening of a hard, proud spirit to unused charity and gentleness by ghostly influence--is substantially repeated in Mr. O'Connor's tale"
--The Round Table 6:150 (1867-12-07) p376
