BARBARA'S HISTORY. By Amelia B. Edwards. Second Edition.
"It is not often that we light upon a new novel of so much merit and interest as 'Barbara's History.' It is a work conspicuous beyond the average for taste and literary culture, and felicitous in its delineation of some very delicate and refined shades of character. It is a very graceful and charming book, with a well-managed story, clearly-cut characters, and sentiments expressed with an exquisite elocution. The dialogues especially sparkle with repartee. It is a book which the world will like, and which those who commence it will care to finish. This is high praise of a work of art, and so we intend it."—The Times.
"If Miss Edwards goes on writing such stories as 'Barbara's History,' she will on some bright day of a lucky season wake up and find herself famous. Miss Edwards has qualities superior to mere literary facility; she has humour, insight into character, and an extensive knowledge of books. We give her full credit for having written a thoroughly-readable and deeply-interesting novel."—Athenæum.
