_The Court Journal_ says:--"The intensely interesting situation is
developed with much ingenuity and power. It is a capital story, told
with far more literary skill than is usual. A really fascinating
story."
FAUCONBERG
_The Daily Telegraph_ says:--"Good and well written, readable from
opening chapter to finish."
_The Illustrated Mail_ says:--"The story teems with incident, moves
briskly and as a narrative is very readable."
_The Field_ says:--"The ultimate fate of Fauconberg is always in doubt
from the beginning to the unexpected ending. The book has grip and
should be a success."
_The Aberdeen Journal_ says:--"From start to finish the story is full
of striking situations and Fauconberg will unfailingly appeal to all
who love a vigorously told narrative."
THE RED CHANCELLOR
_Lloyd's News_ says:--"One of the most readable novels of the adventure
type that we have taken up. A story full of action with its characters
strongly drawn. Adventures and hair-breadth escapes abound, the style
is refreshingly crisp, and the book altogether is one that can be most
heartily recommended."
_The King_ says:--"A romance of stirring adventure. Excitingly
narrated, and the book in every way ought to prove one of the best
reading romances of the season."
_The Swansea Gazette_ says:--"A very thrilling and interesting book,
and commands in every page the reader's attention."
_The Irish Times_ says:--"A most thrilling story, well written and
cleverly put together, the romance is a fascinating one."
_Public Opinion_ says:--"It positively bristles with adventure. A
capital book, wildly exciting."
_The Daily Telegraph_ says:--"A story which is distinctly good."
THE MYSTERY OF THE UNICORN
An absorbing romance of modern life, depending for its interest quite
as much on its vivid pictures of society as on its more sensational
incidents. Mr. E. F. Benson and Mr. Robert Hichens have more than once
achieved the same effect in the weaving of stories of tense dramatic
interest, and the present book is a strong and clever specimen of its
class. Without sacrificing the probabilities the author realizes with
great skill the element of strangeness which often carries the
circumstances of modern life even to the verge of fantasy. It is an
engrossing story, cleverly set forth.
A PRINCE OF LOVERS
_The World_ says:--"This story is delightful; full of life and
movement, genuine human nature, and the stir of love and grief, good
fortune and evil with so much reality in the persons on the stage that
they enlist sympathy or excite animosity as fully as the author needs
to desire. The stars which Sir William Magnay has selected and set
shining for us in an atmosphere well suited for their radiance are very
bright and particular indeed."
