Excerpt from Mrs. Humphry Ward It would be unfair and uncritical to say that the most remarkable point about Mrs Humphry Ward as a writer is the circulation of her books. What is true, what ought to be said at once, is that without her popular vogue the attention of artists would scarcely have been attracted to her work. Such a success as she has achieved and consolidated does not dictate to critical opinion, but it compels appraisement to be made.
