_The Ancient Law._
"The moving story of a strong man made gentle and worthy by great sorrows. There are few better realised characters in late fiction than this man who ... takes upon his own shoulders the punishment which the Biblical law visits upon the descendants of a sinner. The background is filled with many fine sketches of life and character.... Miss Glasgow has never written a better book."--_Worlds Work._
"Such an excellent piece of work as this stands out in pleasing relief at a time when there is produced only too much mediocre and inferior literature. It is not only a very interesting story, but it is profoundly true. As a psychological study the character of Daniel Ordway is worthy of the highest praise."--_Observer._
"A very genuine tale of searchingly true and genuine psychology, extremely interesting and very well written."--_Daily Telegraph._

Mr. James Douglas says: "A great spiritual tragedy wrought by imagination out of the very stuff of life."

"Judged by almost every standard to which a comedy like this should be referred, I find her book the most remarkable that I have read for many years."--MR. OWEN SEAMAN in _Punch_.

""The Divine Fire" is a novel to read, and, what is more, to keep and read again."--_The Outlook._
_Two Sides of a Question._
"The story is told with a sympathy, a directness, and a vividness which are rare indeed. Those who read it will find that it will not be quickly forgotten."--_The Church Times._
