THE PRECIPICE

“One of the most significant novels that have appeared this season ... so absolutely true to life that it is hard to consider it fiction.”—Boston Post.

“A book which men and women alike will be better for reading, of which any true hearted author might be proud.... The author knows life and human nature thoroughly, and she has written out of ripened perceptions and a full heart.”—Chicago Record Herald.

“An intimate and sympathetic study of new-century womanhood ... presents a profoundly interesting survey of the new social order of things.”—Philadelphia North American.
