B . —The above two volumes form the latest addition to 'LOWS STANDARD NOVELS , ' and are COPYRIGHT THROUGHOUT THE BRITISH DOMINIONS . THE ACADEMY says of * ANNE ' : — ' We venture to say that " Anne" is one of the most remarkable works of fiction that has appeared for many years If the author can keep up to the high standard reached in this work , a great future is before her . ' THE WHITEHALL REVIEW says : —* We have rarely read anything to surpass it in purity of ton e , wealth of humour , and freshness of incident . Immense elaboration and minuteness of narrative combine with a plenitude of those masterly little turns of expressive dialogue in which the Americans excel . ' THE CENTURY MAGAZINE says : —' The story grows intensely dramatic and powerfulmore powerful in genuine passion—an unreasoning woman ' s passion , that finds a way where there is a will , than anything in the production of either of those two sober-minded gentlemen ' ( referring to Howells and James ) . ' "Anne ' s" innocence and charm and growing strength win us completely Miss "Woolson , thus , to our thinking , has * this double chance of becoming our best novelist—fresh material , got at first hand , and a power of passion in herself .
