  “Without being in the least imitative, Mr. C. H. Jeffreys [sic] in several pictures recalls something of Twatchman.  His gives his impression of spring in ‘Melting Show,’ when the roads are a slush and patches of snow still lie here and there in the fields, and the delightful stir and thrill of new life are in the air.  The touches of green in the road relieve the whole from monotony.  Through the blur of ‘Autumn Rail’ may be seen a view of brown meadows and houses in the distance.  In a poem decoration, ‘Masked Men’, there is life and go in the procession of masked revellers.  This is, of course, in black and white.” “It was a happy conceit on the part of Mr. Jeffreys to make that great blaze of the setting sun in the ‘Golden North,’ and there is originality in his conception of ‘The Mines’ – men working on the telegraph poles in the front to open communication with the lonely mines on the far hillside.”
