For every day in the year Miss Rossetti supplies some religious thought in prose or verse. The thought is shrewd and searching. It is free in its forms - dialogue, exhortation, anecdote, reflection. The verses do not rise to the highest poetry, but they are of fair average excellence. Humour is not excluded in pointing a moral. - Scriptutal Studies . Christina G. Rossetti's Time Flies: a Reading Diary , presents, for each day of the year, about a page of original matter in prose or verse, often associated with some event of the ecclesiastical calendar, and always of a religious or moralizing character. The prose and verse alike are pervaded with views of life and religion which are often fanciful, if not morbid, and little calculated to form a cheerful faith or to nourish a wholesome thoughtfulness of conscience. - The Unitarian Review: 1886 , Vol. 25

Seller's Description:
None. Very Good. An early edition of Christina Rossetti's reflections on life and religion, presented as a collection of poetry and prose for every day in the year. An early edition. First published in 1885. Bound in the publisher's cloth. A charming collection of devotional meditations, containing the author's thoughts surrounding religion and life, with one reflection written for each day of the year. Often considered to be one of Rossetti's most autobiographical works, combining poetry and prose to create a personal and free-thinking collection of ideas, all founded on her religious beliefs. With four pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear. With a previous owner's ink inscription, dated 1896. Bound in the publisher's cloth. Externally, very good, with light bumping to the extremities and the odd mark to cloth. Ink inscription to the verso of the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound with very bright and clean pages. Very Good.
