"Among the many romances written recently about the Civil War, this one by Miss Seawell takes a high place.... Altogether, 'The Victory,' a title significant in several ways, makes a strong appeal to the lover of a good tale."—The Outlook.
"Miss Seawell's narrative is not only infused with a tender and sympathetic spirit of romance and surcharged with human interests, but discloses, in addition, careful and minute study of local conditions and characteristic mannerisms. It is an intimate study of life on a Virginia plantation during an emergent and critical period of American history."—Philadelphia North American.
"It is one of the romances that make, by spirit as well as letter, for youth and high feeling. It embodies, perhaps, the best work this author yet has done."—Chicago Record-Herald.
"Aside from the engaging story itself and the excellent manner in which it is told there is much of historic interest in this vivid word-picture of the customs and manners of a period which has formed the background of much fiction."—Brooklyn Citizen.
