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.

Mr. Henry James is at his best in "The Aspern Papers." . . . For careful finish, minute analysis, and vivid description of both the scenes and the characters, "The Aspern Papers" may take high rank among Mr. James's stories.—Guardian.
