“Folly is the daughter of a miner, who, having ‘struck it rich,’ comes to New York with the money and the ambition to ‘move’ among the Four Hundred. It is not a pleasant story, altho the heroine escapes into the arms of the right man. The purpose of the book is to expose the methods by which social sharks of New York live at the expense of their victims.”—Ind.
“He writes well and venomously.”

“The book is neatly named, and the slight plot is well handled, but the whole would have gained in general interest as well as humor had it been based on a more sympathetic observation.”
