From George Ripley's Review in Harper's Magazine.

"In these days, it is somewhat refreshing to meet with a female novel-writer like Mrs. Warfield, who displays in her works the unmistakable fire of genius, however terrific its brightness. Her 'Household of Bouverie' betrays everywhere a daring boldness of conception, singular fertility of illustration, and a combined beauty and vigor of expression, which it would be difficult to match in any recent works of fiction." From Marion Harland, author of "Alone," "Hidden Path," elc.

"Mra. Warfield's 'Household of Bouverie' is a wonderful book. As a piece of imag. inative writing, I have seen nothing to equal it since the days of Edgar A. Poe, and I doubt whether he could have sustained himself and the reader through a book of half the size. I was literally hurried through it by my intense sympathy, my devouring curiosity-it was more than interest. I read everywhere-between the courses of the hotel-table, on the boat, in the cars-until I had swallowed the last line. This is no common occurrence with a veteran romance reader like myself."

From Gail Hamilton, author of "Gala Days," clc.

"The Household of Bouverie' is one of those books that pluck out all your teeth, and then dare you to bite them. Your interest is awakened at once in the first chapter, and you are whirled through in a lightning-express train that leaves you no opportunity to look at the little details of wood, and lawn, and river."
