We find no fault with Mr. Henry James’s ‘‘Princess Casamassima.” It is a great novel; it is his greatest, and it is incomparably the greatest novel of the year in our language. From first to last we find no weakness in the book; the drama works simply and naturally; the causes and effects are logically related; the theme is made literature without ceasing to be life.—Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Editor’s Study.

The public will be glad to find Mr. James in his best vein. One is thankful again that there is so brilliant an American author to give us entertaining sketches of life.—Boston Herald.
