"This is the novel of the year. The love-making in it is charming and it is interesting up to the very end. It gives a sad picture of lives of the men of the present day in our large cities, particularly in New York and Philadelphia. Like Thackeray"s Barry Lyndon, it is an elaborate study of selfishness."--_The World, New York._

The portrait of the author printed in the volume bears an unmistakable resemblance to Queen Victoria."--_Minneapolis Tribune._
