'"Simon Dale" is one of the best historical romances that have
been written for a long while.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'A brilliant novel. The story is rapid and most
excellently told. As for the hero, he is a perfect hero of
romance.'--_Athenæum._
'There is searching analysis of human nature, with a most
ingeniously constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts
of his women with marvellous subtlety and delicacy.'--_Times._
=Gilbert Parker's Novels=
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
PIERRE AND HIS PEOPLE. _Fifth Edition._
'Stories happily conceived and finely executed. There is
strength and genius in Mr. Parker's style.'--_Daily Telegraph._
MRS. FALCHION. _Fourth Edition._
'A splendid study of character.'--_Athenæum._
'But little behind anything that has been done by any writer of
our time.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
'A very striking and admirable novel.'--_St. James's Gazette._
THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE.
'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr.
Parker has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who
is not interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale
must be a dull person indeed.'--_Daily Chronicle._
THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. Illustrated. _Sixth Edition._
'A rousing and dramatic tale. A book like this, in which swords
flash, great surprises are undertaken, and daring deeds done, in
which men and women live and love in the old passionate way, is
a joy inexpressible.'--_Daily Chronicle._
WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC: The Story of a Lost Napoleon.
_Fourth Edition._
'Here we find romance--real, breathing, living romance. The
character of Valmond is drawn unerringly. The book must
be read, we may say re-read, for any one thoroughly to
appreciate Mr. Parker's delicate touch and innate sympathy with
humanity.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
AN ADVENTURER OF THE NORTH: The Last Adventures of 'Pretty
Pierre.' _Second Edition._
'The present book is full of fine and moving stories of the
great North, and it will add to Mr. Parker's already high
reputation.'--_Glasgow Herald._
THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY. Illustrated. _Ninth Edition._
'The best thing he has done; one of the best things that any one
has done lately.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every
serious novel that he attempts. He shows the matured power which
his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a
really fine historical novel.'--_Athenæum._
'A great book.'--_Black and White._
'One of the strongest stories of historical interest and
adventure that we have read for many a day.... A notable and
successful book.'--_Speaker._
