'It cannot be denied that "The Master Christian"
is a powerful book; that it is one likely to
raise uncomfortable questions in all but the
most self-satisfied readers, and that it
strikes at the root of the failure of the
Churches--the decay of faith--in a manner which
shows the inevitable disaster heaping up....
The good Cardinal Bonpré is a beautiful figure,
fit to stand beside the good Bishop in "Les
Misérables".... The chapter in which the
Cardinal appears with Manuel before Leo XIII.
is characterised by extraordinary realism and
dramatic intensity.... It is a book with a
serious purpose expressed with absolute
unconventionality and passion.... And this is
to say it is a book worth
reading.'--_Examiner._

_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Ninth Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical
analysis impossible within our limit;
brilliant, but not superficial; well
considered, 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._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Sixth Edition._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human
nature. The characters are traced with a
masterly hand.'--_Times._
A MAN OF MARK. _Fifth Edition._
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the
one which best compares with "The Prisoner of
Zenda."'--_National Observer._
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Fourth
Edition._
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and
chivalry, and pure romance. The Count is the
most constant, desperate, and modest and tender
of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid
fighter, a faithful friend, and a magnanimous
foe.'--_Guardian._

'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with
vitality, stirring the blood.'--_St. James's

the best of his novels, while in the wide range
of its portraiture and the subtlety of its
