“A sympathetically written text, interpolated with most carefully selected pictures. No child who has any sense of the beautiful will find this book dull. Its inspiration to visit museums and see with his own eyes the pictures described is undoubted.”

A fine old English estate is the scene of most that happens in this tale. Ralph Darnley, the lost heir, returns to find Sir George Dashwood the next of kin in possession, but with only his grandmother and an old butler in his confidence Darnley plans to conceal his identity until he teaches the girl he loves, the daughter of Sir George, the futility of her Dashwood pride which stands in the way of accepting his suit. He aids a false claimant to a nominal control of the property, which renders Sir George and his daughter penniless. The daughter is thrown upon the world and when she has learned its lessons and discovered what true worthiness is Darnley reveals his identity and carries her back to Dashwood hall.

“We are glad to notice in [this novel] the evidence of more care in its production than the last one or two from his pen had led us to expect.”
