" 'Fogg's Ferry' is the result of Mr. Charles E. Callahan's excited imagination. It is a tale of villainy and beautiful innocence, and the humor of it is almost entirely in its villainy. We shall not attempt to describe it. The brainlessness of Mr. Callahan—who it is said to be a journalist—is beyond words.; it is the brainlessness of nearly all the heavy, empty, dull-witted scribblers who furnish our stage with its oppressive trash. There is no lowest depths to their depravity, the duty of sitting under the malign influence of their work is profoundly melancholy duty. " The New York Times; May 16, 1882
