"If Bayard Taylor has not placed himself, as we are half inclined to suspect, in the front rank of novelists, he has produced a very remarkable book—a really original story admirably told, crowded with life-like characters, full of delicate and subtle sympathies, with ideas the most opposite to his own, and lighted up throughout with that playful humor which suggests always wisdom rather than mere fun."—London Spectator.
"'The Story of Kennett' is delightful and refreshing reading, and a great rest after the crowded artistic effects and the conventional interests of even the better kinds of English novels."—London Spectator.
