Mrs. Meynell’s papers are little sermons, ideal sermons. Let no one
uninstructed by them take fright at the title, they are not preachments.
They leave a sense of stilled singing in the mind they fill. The writing
is limpid in its depths.—GEORGE MEREDITH.
She was among the six or seven best women writers in the records of
English literature, and the only one of them to achieve greatness as an
essayist.—J. C. SQUIRE.
She never wrote a line or even a word without putting brains into it;
or, in the most exact sense, meaning what she said. I will venture the
prophecy that her fullest fame is yet to come. The whole modern world
must immeasurably enlarge itself before it comes near the measure of her
mind.—G. K. CHESTERTON.
Prose such as is not written by any other essayist of our time.—_The
Daily News._
