"'Claims and Counterclaims' is 

 to be hailed as combining the 

 many fine qualities that go to 

 make a novel of high merit. Its 

 unique plot, its brilliant execution 

 in both dialogue and movement, 

 are all crowned by a novel's raison 

 d'etre — its absorbing interest — a 

 story of intense interest, one that 

 will be breathlessly followed from 

 the first till the last page."
