BOSTON GLOBE. “Truly Mr. Fawcett has here wrought with skill in producing some original and beautiful characters. The motive and plan are those of a better book than he has ever written.... Rutherford is powerful and will contribute much to the reputation of its clever author.”
SAT. EVENING GAZETTE, Boston. “This story evinces grace as well as facility of style, is effectively told throughout, and in its plot and characters, is decidedly interesting. The sympathies of the reader are keenly enlisted for two of the characters who have been reduced from wealth to poverty, and the relation of their experiences in the latter form of life affords opportunity for a very effective exhibition of this phase of New York experience. The book is one of the most elaborate of Mr. Fawcett’s novels.”
NEW YORK TRIBUNE. “Mr. Fawcett’s story, ‘Rutherford,’ is more serious in plan than most of his society novels; it has a motive which is not only tragical, but impressive.... It is well constructed, and contains some excellent sketches of fashionable life and touches of satire.”
