little peculiarities of style--one or two 'bits' of painting--and then
you pull on your seven-leagued boots and away you go." _From George Ripley's Review of "The Household of Bouverie" in Harper's Magazine_. "'The Household of Bouverie,' by Mrs. Warfield, is a wonderful book. I have read it twice--the second time more carefully than the first--and I use the term 'wonderful,' because it best expresses the feeling uppermost in my mind, both while reading and thinking it over. As a piece of imaginative 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 readers through a book half the size of the 'Household of Bouverie.' I have 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."
