"Never has Mr. Wells spread for such a gorgeous panorama ... a living
story ... a vivacious narrative imperturbable in interest on every page,
always fresh and personal and assured.... This is not a novel--it is a
library. It is everything that one needs to know about the public life of
the significant classes in England for last twenty-five years."--_The
Dial_.
"Mr Wells, at his highest point of attainment.... An absorbingly
interesting book ... consummate artistry ... here is Wells, the story
teller, the master of narrative."--_N.Y. Evening Sun_.
