"The technical mastery of Miss Dix is great, but her spiritual
mastery is greater. For this book lives in memory, and the
spirit of its teachings is, in a most intimate sense, the spirit
of its teacher.... Noble passion holding the balance between
life and death is the motif sharply outlined and vigorously
portrayed. In each interlude the author has seized upon a vital
situation and has massed all her forces so as to enhance its
significance."--_Boston Transcript._ (Entire notice on
application to the publishers.)
"Highly dramatic episodes, treated with skill and art ... a high
pitch of emotion."--_New York Sun._
"Complete and intense tragedies well plotted and well sustained,
in dignified dialogue of persons of the drama distinctly
differentiated."--_Hartford Courant._
"It is a pleasure to say, without reservation, that the half
dozen plays before us are finely true, strong, telling examples
of dramatic art.... Sure to find their way speedily to the stage,
justifying themselves there, even as they justify themselves at a
reading as pieces of literature."--_The Bellman._
