We have never known his prose so good, whether in description, dialogue, or analysis.”The Morning Post: “It seems to us that ‘The Lapse of Vivien Eady’ is distinctly the best book he has hitherto produced.

It is unnecessary to argue that fiction is a true and living and important branch of English literature when it numbers among its younger exponents such men as the author of ‘The Remnant.’ We welcome this book as an addition to the small body of good psychological fiction in English.”
