We venture to say that no acute and penetrating critic surpasses Mr.Howells in true insight, in polished irony, in effective and yet graceful treatment of his theme, in that light and indescribable touch that lifts you over a whole sea of froth and foam, and fixes your eye, not on the froth and foam, but on the solid objects, the true heart and soul of the theme .-- _Critic_, N.Y.

Mr.Howells has certainly never given us in one novel so many portraits of intrinsic interest.

Annie Kilburn herself is a masterpiece of quietly veracious art--the art which depends for its effect on unswerving fidelity to the truth of Nature....

It certainly seems to us the very best book that Mr.Howells has written .-- _Spectator_, London.
