Literary significance and criticism

  1. A novel which is the work of a man of genius. It will attract the highest class of readers. —Times.
  2. There are many beautiful passages and descriptions in this book. The characters are extremely well drawn. ——Athenæum.
  3. A clever novel. The incidents are exciting, and the interest is maintained to the close. It may be doubted if Sir Walter Scott himself ever painted a Scotch fireside with more truth. —Morning Post.
