"This story illustrates, with feeling and power, that beneficial influence which women exercise, in their own quiet way, over characters and events in our every-day life."-- _Britannia._ "The book is one of more than ordinary interest in various ways, and presents an admirable conception of the depths and sincerity of female friendship, as exhibited in England by English women."-- _Weekly Chronicle._ "We began to read the volume late in the evening; and, although it consists of about 400 pages, our eyes could not close in sleep until we had read the whole.

This excellent book should find a place on every drawing-room table--nay, in every library in the kingdom."-- _Bucks Chronicle._ "We congratulate Miss Aguilar on the spirit, motive, and composition of this story.

Her aims are eminently moral, and her cause comes recommended by the most beautiful associations.

These, connected with the skill here evinced in their development, insure the success of her labors."-- _Illustrated News._ "As a writer of remarkable grace and delicacy, she devoted herself to the inculcation of the virtues, more especially those which are the peculiar charm of women."-- _Critic._ "It is a book for all classes of readers; and we have no hesitation in saying, that it only requires to be generally known to become exceedingly popular.
