'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and
is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The
author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity....
This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much
of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary
phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'—W. T. STEAD in the _Review
of Reviews_.
Anthony Hope's Novels
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Ninth Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible

but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine
literary method is a keen pleasure.'—_The World._

are traced with a masterly hand.'—_Times._

compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."—_National Observer._

carries the reader in little whirls of delight from adventure to
adventure.'—_Academy._

'In elegance, delicacy, and tact it ranks with the best of his
novels, while in the wide range of its portraiture and the subtilty
of its analysis it surpasses all his earlier ventures.'—_Spectator._
'"The King's Mirror" is a strong book, charged with close analysis
and exquisite irony; a book full of pathos and moral fibre—in short,
a book to be read.'—_Daily Chronicle._
