_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser_: "It shows the same deep insight into the
complications of the human soul [as did the author's earlier novel]....
This story from the opening page is tense with sustained power and is
surely destined to be one of the most important contributions to this
season's fiction."

_N. Y. Mail and Express_: "These pictures have the true color, alive
with the activity of nature or soothing in its quietude. They form a
distinct feature of the book, beautify its pages and make them
notable.... It has the elements in it of a wider popularity [than that
of the author's earlier novel], which it deserves in every sense."

_Buffalo Commercial_: "We find just the same originality in plot, skill
in character depiction, and the effective presentation of events [which
characterized 'The Maternity of Harriot Wicken'].... In the story we see
so artistic a description of the play of character, the various phases
of human goodness and badness are so well drawn out, that the book
deserves high praise.... The description of the life of Folly Corner,
and the men and women seen there, is not surpassed by any work of any
contemporary novelist. The book is a notable one every way."

_The Academy, London_: "Really interesting; ... the writing is generally
vigorous and even brilliant. The comedy is first rate.... It is in fact
a successful novel."

"One of the most captivating works of fiction that it has been our good
fortune to read."--_Dial_.

both direct and forcible.... The reader bent upon excitement alone, and
the reader who delights in the better qualities of romance--in literary
form and psychological portrayal--will alike find their account in a
book which we counsel them not to miss."

_Book Buyer_: "It is not likely that any story bristles more with
ingenious surprises.... If the reader should leave off in the middle,
there is no doubt that he would be sorely perplexed; but it is safe to
say that he will never have the fortitude to leave off in the middle."

_New York Commercial Advertiser_: "A very intense sort of book.... Many
thrilling scenes and strong delineations of emotion."

_New York Times_: "A romance of adventure carried out to its ultimate
