_The Daily Mail_ says:--"A triumph of cheery, resolute narration. The
story goes along like a wave, and the reader with it."
STRONG MAC.
The Morning Post says:--"At the very outset the reader is introduced to
the two leading characters of what is truly a drama of real life. So
vividly is the story told that it often reads like a narrative of
things that have actually happened."
LITTLE ESSON.
The Scarborough Post says:--"One of the most popular of Mr. Crockett's
books since 'Lilac Sunbonnet.'"
The Newcastle Journal says:--"The book is one to read with great
enjoyment. It is a true Crockett in every respect."
MAX PEMBERTON
PRO PATRIA.
The Liverpool Mercury says:--"A fine and distinguished piece of
imaginative writing; one that should shed a new lustre upon the clever
author of 'Kronstadt.'"
CHRISTINE OF THE HILLS.
The Daily Mail says:--"Assuredly he has never written anything more
fresh, more simple, more alluring, or more artistically perfect."
A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN.
The Daily Chronicle says:--"This is very much the best book Mr.
Pemberton has so far given us."
THE GOLD WOLF.
The Illustrated London News says:--"From the beginning Mr. Pemberton
weaves his romance with such skill that the tangled skein remains for
long unravelled ... marked by exceptional power, and holds the
attention firmly."
THE LODESTAR.
The Standard:--"'The Lodestar' impresses us as an exceedingly poignant
and effective story, true to real life. Written with cleverness and
charm."
E. F. BENSON
LIMITATIONS.
JAMES BLYTH
A HAZARDOUS WOOING.
The Morning Leader says:--"A rattling good yarn of a kind which many
writers of historical novels might envy."
The Scotsman says:--"Delightful reading from beginning to end."
E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM
CONSPIRATORS.
With Illustrations by A. Wallis Mills.
THE SECRET.
The Standard says:--"We have no hesitation in saying that this is the
finest and most absorbing story that Mr. Oppenheim has ever written. It
glows with feeling; it is curiously fertile in character and incident,
and it works its way onward to a most remarkable climax."
A LOST LEADER.
The Daily Graphic says:--"Mr. Oppenheim almost persuades us into the
belief that he has really been able to break down the wall of secrecy
which always surrounds the construction of a Cabinet, and has decided
to make an exposure on the lines of a well-known American writer. He
also touches upon the evils of gambling in Society circles in a manner
which should be applauded by Father Vaughan, and, in addition, treats
us to a romance which is full of originality and interest from first to
last."
MR. WINGRAVE, MILLIONAIRE.
