The publication of a new novel from Mrs. Burnett’s pen has become an event of more than ordinary moment, both to the critics and the public; and HAWORTH’S fulfills the best anticipations of both. It is in the direct line of development of the author’s strongest traits, and marks a higher point than was reached even in the best passages of her first story.

CRITICAL NOTICES.
“Haworth’s is a product of genius of a very high order—a piece of work which will hold a permanent place in literature; one of those masterly performances that rise wholly above the plane of light literature upon which novels are generally placed.”—Evening Post.
“It is but faint praise to speak of Haworth’s as merely a good novel. It is one of the few great novels.... As a story, it is alive throughout with a thrilling interest which does not flag from beginning to end, and, besides the story, there is in it a wonderfully clever study of human nature.”—Hartford Courant.
“Haworth’s will unquestionably be acknowledged one of the great literary achievements of the day. The chief feature is its intense dramatic power. It consists almost wholly of vividly-presented pictures, which so impress themselves on the mind of the reader, that the effect is more that of seeing the story acted than of reading it.”—Boston Post.
