“As a writer he harps too much upon merely pictorial effects, which were doubtless attractive to an artist but suffer through vain repetition. Though we may not claim him as guide or philosopher, he is certainly well met as a soothing friend.”

Wilberforce, Wilfrid, and Gilbert, Mrs. A. R. Her faith against the world. *$l. Benziger.
A young barrister asks the aristocratic Sir Richard Forrester for the hand of his daughter, Gertrude and is refused because he lacks position. Later he gets into Parliament on assuring his constituents that he is not a Roman Catholic. Sir Richard then welcomes him, but Gertrude, who has joined the Roman church, refuses to marry a Protestant, and is turned out of her father’s house. The solution of this complication is the burden of this political-religious novel.
“The book is written from the point of view of a Roman Catholic, but without bitterness and intolerance.”

“An entertaining novel, although it is somewhat sketchy in both action and character, and although it does carry a moral instruction.”
