EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES.
"The book is finely written, and exceptionally high in tone, and shows in the character of Rachel a keen sense of humor, which reminds the reader of some of George Eliot's earliest works."
"It is a story of sadness, love, and ultimate joy, and a thoroughly good one in its teaching, having the charm of novelty, freshness, and interest, that few novelists can impart. The 'Crime of Chance' belongs to the higher type. In some respects it presents not a bad imitation of the style and fidelity to nature of George Eliot."
"The characters are firmly, admirably drawn, and the story is one which must easily appeal to the sympathies of all readers of finer sensibilities. The two children, the hero, Rachel and Hestor, are painted with a brush handled with excellent judgment and skill."—Traveller.
