Spectator.—“The work is interesting, and the study of Lester is decidedly clever and original.”

Bookman.—“A story of far more than average merit, strongly imagined and with considerable craftsmanship.... Emphatically, this is a book to be read.”

St. James’s Gazette.—“Has decided originality and cynicism enough for the youngest of us. There are many clever touches and characters that stand out.”

Truth.—“Unusually well conceived and described.”

Speaker.—“Mr. Turner has shown before that he has a pleasing and unusual vein of satire. In ‘The Steeple’ he turns his attention to the worldly and successful Churchman.... The book is full of entertaining little caricatures, and some good counterfoils to them.... It is sane and amusing, a most welcome work in these days when satire seems to be a lost art.”
