e author's power. She holds her characters and incidents well in hand, writes firmly, and often very happily, and there are many passages which indicate power much above mediocrity.--_London Review_. Not very often do we meet with a novel so thoroughly good as "Twice Lost". If, as may be assumed from both subject and style, its author is a woman, she may at once be classed with the Bronte sisters and George Eliot. She has the firm conception and distinct touch of the first-class artist. Her characters are real and individual.--_Press_. This is a well-written romantic tale, in which we find many pleasing incidents and some successful portraiture of character. The character of Miss Derwent, the companion and governess of the heroine, Miss Langley, is very well developed in the course of the narrative. The moral tone of the book is very good, and so far as religious matters are touched upon, they are treated with propriety and reverence.-- _English Churchman_. The characters are well drawn--the situations are new, the sentiments are unsentimental, and the incidental remarks those of a clever woman who is reasonable and tolerant.--_Globe_. The plot of this tale is an original one, and well worked out.... We can sincerely recommend this tale; it is quite out of the general run of books, and is sure to prove an interesting one.--_Observer_. We notice this story because its authoress will one day, we believe, produce a powerful novel.--_Spectator_. The reader is carried along with unflagging and exciting interest, and the book is full of characters finely sketched, and of passages powerfully written.--_Patriot_. That the author of "Twice Lost" can write well, the book itself furnishes sufficient evidence.--_Nation_. This is a striking story. It has a freshness and originality about it which are very pleasant.--_Morning Advertiser_. Without being a sensation novel this is a most exciting and attractive story.--_Daily News_. A most romantic story, the interest being well sustained throughout, and everything coming right at the end. Any one must be entertained by it.--_John Bull_.
