"Miss Kennedy may take it for granted that those who judge purely
upon the merits of her literary performances, and with thorough
impartiality, will do her the justice to inform the public that her
last tale shows abundant proofs of cleverness, a shrewd appreciation of

sound learning and accurate religious training. We have come to this
conclusion after a careful perusal of 'The Balance of Beauty,' and have
much pleasure in recording such an opinion of its merits."--_Weekly
