Bookman.—“It has, what so many novels have not, a definite purpose and a bold originality of outlook. It is a book which makes one curious to know who wrote it.”

Morning Leader.—“Written with undoubted strength and thought, and vigour of language.”

Christian World.—“A story which, despite some boldness, is strong and original.”

Lloyd’s News.—“It is a distinctly clever book, with many fine passages in it, and reading it is anything but a tiring task.”

The World.—“The vigour and boldness, recklessness indeed, with which theories are advanced, conclusions are rather wrenched than drawn, and flung at the reader’s head, give the book an attraction.”
