Swan Sonnenschein & Co.: Jenny’s Case by Ellen F. Pinsent (2 vols): “An honest and satisfactory of work. From the first to the last the plot develops as a revelation of destiny. Pitiful to read, interesting for its sincerity and simplicity of design, not savage, but hard in its observation, human to the last degree “Jenny’s Case” is a scholarly novel: “National Observer: … … “Jenny is a being worthy of the creative genius of Mrs. Gaskell or Miss Thackeray:” “Daily Telegraph.” … … “A story of uncommon merit. Mrs. Pinsent is not afraid of hard realities, but her realism is not ugly, and the sadder details of her tale are intruded with a sympathetic reticence which makes simple annals infinitely pathetic. It is a very remarkably story in every way.” St. James’s Gazette.
