<p>No such faithful, candid, kindly, brilliant, and incisive presentation ofEnglish and American types has before been achieved. The wit ofthe story is considerable. It is written brilliantly, yet not flimsily. It isthe best international novel that either side has hitherto produced. It is written by an American woman who really knows both countries, and who has shown that she possesses powers which ought to put her in tne front rank of fiction.quot New York Tribune. quot On Both Sides proves to be a positive surprise to the literary world. There is neither an Englishman nor an American writer on this side or that who might not be proud to have written this international novel. It will be one of the most popular books of the season, one that will be read, criticised, and talked about iu all the circles of intelligent society.
