"'The House of Dreams' belongs to the same class as Mrs Oliphant's 'A Pilgrim in the Unseen,' and may rival the great popularity of that striking fancy.... A book of signal literary beauty, of profound tenderness, and deeply reverent throughout; the work of a man who finds in earth and heaven alike the sign and token of the Cross."—The British Weekly.
"A very beautiful allegory.... The author's deep reverence and exalted phantasy never ring false, and his work cannot fail to inspire the reader with reverence for ideals undreamed of in worldly philosophy."—The Pall Mall Gazette.
"An allegory worthy to rank among the greatest achievements of that form of literature.... The great gospel of love and hope shines out from these splendid pages.... 'The House of Dreams' is a book which religious teachers will find it abundantly worth their while to study."—Christian World.
"It is in truth a prose poem, one of the most beautiful and delightful we have ever read.... Nothing could be better than that the leaders of all Churches should breathe the pure and tender atmosphere of 'The House of Dreams,' and carry it with them into the world of daily reality."—Methodist Times.
"A vision of extraordinary force and significance.... It seems to us that no thoughtful reader will be likely to rise from a perusal of this book without feeling himself heartened, so inspiring are certain of its passages.... It is full of high suggestion, of pathos, and of poetry."—The Literary World.
