With a Frontispiece by W. Bowles. "A noble novel. Its teaching is elevated, its story is sympathetic, and the kind of feeling its perusal leaves behind is that more ordinarily derived from music or poetry than from prose fiction. Few works in modern fiction stand as high in our estimation as this." - Sunday Times.
By R. E. Francillon.
By Thomas Hardy.
By Jean Ingelow.
By Harriett Jay.

Moreover, the book is a study of a very curious and interesting state of society. A novel which no novel-reader should miss, and which People who generally shun novels may enjoy." - Saturday Review.

In one quality the authoress has in some measure surpassed herself." - Pall, Mall. Gaz.

"A carefully written and beautiful story - a story of goodness and truth, which is yet as interesting as though it dealt with the opposite qualities. . . .

Cettainly a very interesting book." - TIMES.
