EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES.
"The book is finely written, and exceptionally high in tone, and shows in the character of Rachel a keen sense of humor, which reminds the reader of some of George Eliot's earliest works."
"It is a story of sadness, love, and ultimate joy, and a thoroughly good one in its teaching, having the charm of novelty, freshness, and interest, that few novelists can impart. The 'Crime of Chance' belongs to the higher type. In some respects it presents not a bad imitation of the style and fidelity to nature of George Eliot."
"The characters are firmly, admirably drawn, and the story is one which must easily appeal to the sympathies of all readers of finer sensibilities. The two children, the hero, Rachel and Hestor, are painted with a brush handled with excellent judgment and skill."—Traveller.
"The 'Crime of Chance' is one of those quiet stories of English country life that imperceptibly win upon the reader's regard, and finally leaves him thoroughly fascinated. It opens with a description of an old farm and its quaint inhabitants, and the impression they make on a little city boy who, having lost his parents, comes there to live with his uncle, Mr. Philip Oldfield. Philip Oldfield's sad history is the chief subject of the book. The remorse that weighs him down, his unhappy love and seemingly blighted life, are all brought gradually before the reader, in the most natural and unsensational manner, deeply moving his sympathies and interest. Some charming bits of nature are sketched in, rendering the work altogether a most readable and desirable one."
"The story is English, and has some account of poachers and gypsies, and uses a little waif from their resorts as an instrument in Philip's recovery. His character is studied psychologically in the vein and force Hawthorne showed in the 'Scarlet Letter,' and his posthumous novel. The description of life and scenery is pleasing, there is no straining after effect, and the tale has the merit of strong and absorbing interest in its perusal, and deserves nothing but the highest praise."

"These sketches of Irish life have attracted much attention and elicited the highest praise for their fidelity to nature, and the simplicity, pathos, and power by which they are marked. No recent work has appeared which so vividly presents the condition of Ireland, suffering under sore political and social grievances, and distracted by contending factions. The author has spent his life in intimate acquaintance with the Irish heart as it beats in the cabins of the poor, and while the stories he tells of Irish life illustrate sometimes that truth is stranger than fiction, the reader will find in them a spell of interest which fiction rarely possesses. We have not in a long time read aught that is more apt to moisten the eyes than the chapter devoted to the simple story of 'Mary Shea.'"—Buffalo Courier.
"Many of the incidents herein narrated have already been published in one form or another, but never have they been more effectively related than here—the history of the Ribbon Code and some of the results of its system, the outrages perpetrated upon the landlords or their agents, are dramatically told, and while the faults of the Irish disposition are not concealed, their virtues are equally revealed, and show the genuine Irish heart, which is capable of so much that is noble. The book reads like a novel, full of exciting events and truthful characterization, and cannot fail to be read with interest by those to whom the question of the land tenure in Ireland has come to be regarded as one of the most serious which engages public attention."
"It is so written that the painful element of Irish life is not protruded, while there is no glossing of facts or extravagance of national pride. 'Manly' is the title that best describes its spirit, while its literary power, expressed without effort or consciousness, surpasses much of the work of thoroughly-trained skill. It would be well for Ireland if it had many more within its borders like Mr. Trench, for in that case it would avoid the neglect and selfishness that cause distress on the one hand, and the factious and unreasoning bitterness that result from it on the other."
"A strongly dramatic series of pictures, the scope of which is apparent in its title, being founded upon actual observation, and sure to hold the reader's rapt attention."
