“Vernon Lee’s writing would stand alone in any hall of philosophy. Her reasoning is keen and subtle, her divination wonderful; her tolerance, being a woman, most wonderful of all. Her scholarship is deep and broad and serviceable. She takes rather too much pains with her ideas, but the result is that there is no doubt about her meaning. And her thought, while it has the defects of modernness, has also its virtues. It is vital in every part, and full of a vivid individuality. We would not dispossess her of even her æsthetic weather-phases; she seems, oddly enough, to draw such inspiration from them.”—The Week, Toronto.

“That Mr. Meredith is a master of his art, and a master of the highest qualities, is unquestionable. That his popularity will ever be as great as is that of many less gifted artists may be doubted; but among the refined and thoughtful, among those who recognize and appreciate what is most artistic in art, among those who have studied and know men and women, and who feel the charm of brilliant literary style as exercised by an original thinker and a man of uncommon genius, George Meredith will always hold an unassailable position.”—Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.
