SATURDAY REVIEW.—"Mr. Sydney Lysaght should have a future before him among writers of fiction. One of the Grenvilles is full of interest."
BOOKMAN.—"Is so high above the average of novels that its readers will want to urge on the writer a more frequent exercise of his powers."
ACADEMY.—"There is freshness and distinction about One of the Grenvilles.... Both for its characters and setting, and for its author's pleasant wit, this is a novel to read."
SPEAKER.—"Let no man or woman who enjoys a good story, excellently told, recoil from One of the Grenvilles because of length. From first to last there is hardly a page in the book the reader would willingly skip.... We expected much from him after his admirable story of The Marplot. Our expectations are more than fulfilled by One of the Grenvilles."
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"Since he wrote The Marplot, Mr. Lysaght has degenerated neither in freshness, originality, nor sense of humour."
SPECTATOR.—"It has proved a welcome oasis in the progress of at least one reviewer through the never-ending Sahara of modern fiction."
PUNCH.—"His characters, and his brief analysis of them individually in various phases of their career, are as amusing as his story is interesting.... 'One of the best.'"
LITERATURE.—"Displaying qualities all too rare in the bulk of modern fiction.... Mr. Lysaght is fortunate in his characters, who are many in number and excellently well chosen to illustrate his view of life. They are well drawn, too, with humorous perception and a keen insight into human conduct.... A good novel—one of the best we have seen for a considerable time. It comes near to being a great novel."
LITERARY WORLD.—"A volume to be read in a leisurely manner, for it is far too good to repay the reader who only skims through a book."
