Mr. Sutcliffe'stheme is the diplomatic attitude of a north-country vicar in the Churchof England, who seeks to maintain an equilibrium in his ministrationsto the rich and poor in his parish, while favoring the rich. Instriking contrast to this attitude, the work of a young curate,sincere, broadminded and convincing, is refreshingly shown.--BuffaloExpress.
It is full of stress and emphasis, vibrant and thrilling in places,and, for a novel of its character, it holds the interest of the readerto a surprising degree.--Commercial Advertiser (New York).
As the story progresses one's interest grows continually and the bookmay be called not merely readable, but genuinely interesting.--HartfordPost.
