Lawrence.' While there is no new plot under the sun, there are infinite
varieties of treatment, whence it is that Miss Lawless is so admirable
in her work. Her characters live and breathe and impress us. We shall
anxiously look for more of her work."--_Guardian_.

"It was not an easy task to write a novel like 'Major Lawrence, F.L.S.'
... but in our judgment Miss Lawless has completely succeeded....
altogether there have been few stories published this season which may
be read with such sincere pleasure, or studied with more
profit."--_Academy_.
