FOLLY CORNER
By Mrs. HENRY DUDENEY
12mo. $1.25.
A novel of love against reason in conflict with love conformable to reason, worked out with all the power of the author's former novel, "The Maternity of Harriot Wicken," but much more inviting in subject, characters, and treatment. A distinct advance on that able work and full of promise for the future of this rising author. Scene, Sussex to-day.
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser: "It shows the same deep insight into the complications of the human soul [as did the author's earlier novel].... This story from the opening page is tense with sustained power and is surely destined to be one of the most important contributions to this season's fiction."
N. Y. Mail and Express: "These pictures have the true color, alive with the activity of nature or soothing in its quietude. They form a distinct feature of the book, beautify its pages and make them notable.... It has the elements in it of a wider popularity [than that of the author's earlier novel], which it deserves in every sense."
Buffalo Commercial: "We find just the same originality in plot, skill in character depiction, and the effective presentation of events [which characterized 'The Maternity of Harriot Wicken'].... In the story we see so artistic a description of the play of character, the various phases of human goodness and badness are so well drawn out, that the book deserves high praise.... The description of the life of Folly Corner, and the men and women seen there, is not surpassed by any work of any contemporary novelist. The book is a notable one every way."
The Academy, London: "Really interesting; ... the writing is generally vigorous and even brilliant. The comedy is first rate.... It is in fact a successful novel."
