"If the 'What-to-do Club' was clever, this is decidedly more so. It
is a powerful story, and is evidently written in some degree, we
cannot quite say how great a degree, from fact. The personages of
the story are very well drawn,--indeed, 'Amanda Briggs' is as good
as anything American fiction has produced. We fancy we could pencil
on the margin the real names of at least half the characters. It is
a book for the wealthy to read that they may know something that is
required of them, because it does not ignore the difficulties in
their way, and especially does not overlook the differences which
social standing puts between class and class. It is a deeply
interesting story considered as mere fiction, one of the best which
has lately appeared. We hope the authoress will go on in a path
where she has shown herself so capable."--_The Churchman._

"In Mrs. Campbell's novel we have a work that is not to be judged
by ordinary standards. The story holds the reader's interest by its
realistic pictures of the local life around us, by its constant and
progressive action, and by the striking dramatic quality of scenes
and incidents, described in a style clear, connected, and
harmonious. The novel-reader who is not taken up and made to share
the author's enthusiasm before getting half-way through the book
must possess a taste satiated and depraved by indulgence in
exciting and sensational fiction. The earnestness of the author's
presentation of essentially great purposes lends intensity to her
narrative. Succeeding as she does in impressing us strongly with
her convictions, there is nothing of dogmatism in their preaching.
But the suggestiveness of every chapter is backed by pictures of
real life."--_New York World._
