SOME PRESS OPINIONS ON THE LATE

FLORENCE L. BARCLAY

"A writer who appealed to and won the affection of so many of her fellow countrymen and women is no negligible quantity. Indeed there is reason to think that Mrs. Barclay understood the tendency of her age better than many contemporary novelists whose technical skill exceeded hers."—Times.

"Mrs. Barclay's death will be regretted by many thousands of readers."—Morning Post.

"'The Rosary' and nearly all her other books were inspired by true religious feeling, which she always managed to infuse into the imagination of her readers."—Sphere.

"From the highest to the lowest she commanded an attentive public."—Liverpool Daily Courier.

"There was a purpose behind all she wrote that lifted her books above the common, and enabled her to reach readers who would turn away from the 'typical best-seller' in disgust."—Sunday Times.

"Mrs. Barclay was not merely a popular authoress. The ideals she preached were high and noble and tended to elevate her readers."—Church Family Newspaper.

"The underlying quality of Mrs. Barclay's literary art was her wonderful gift of depicting home life, and it was this characteristic which made her name loved in countless homes all over the land."—Lady.

"She gave wholesale enjoyment to countless thousands, while she was also one of the comparatively few popular authoresses who are in themselves as good as the very best of their books."—Glasgow Herald.
