THE LUST OF HATE.
The Daily Graphic says:--"Mr. Boothby gives place to no one in what
might be called dramatic interest, so whoever wants dramatic interest
let him read 'The Lust of Hate.'"
THE FASCINATION OF THE KING.
The Bristol Mercury says:--"Unquestionably the best work we have yet
seen from the pen of Mr. Guy Boothby.... 'The Fascination of the King'
is one of the books of the season."
DR. NIKOLA.
The Scotsman says:--"One hairbreadth escape succeeds another with
rapidity that scarce leaves the reader breathing space.... The interest
of their experience is sufficient to stay criticism, and carry him
through a story ingeniously invented and skilfully told."
THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE DEVIL.
The Yorkshire Post says:--"A more exciting romance no man could
reasonably ask for."
A BID FOR FORTUNE.
The Manchester Courier says:--"It is impossible to give any idea of the
verve and brightness with which the story is told. Mr. Boothby may be
congratulated on having produced about the most original novel of the
year."
IN STRANGE COMPANY.
The World says:--"A capital novel. It has the quality of life and stir,
and will carry the reader with curiosity unabated to the end."
THE MARRIAGE OF ESTHER.
_The Manchester Guardian_ says:--"A story full of action, life, and
dramatic interest. There is a vigour and a power of illusion about it
that raises it quite above the level of the ordinary novel of
adventure."
BUSHIGRAMS.
The Manchester Guardian says:--"Intensely interesting. Forces from us,
by its powerful artistic realism, those choky sensations which it
should be the aim of the human writer to elicit, whether in comedy or
tragedy."
SHEILAH McLEOD.
Mr. W. L. Alden in The New York Times, says:--"Mr. Boothby can crowd
more adventure into a square foot of canvas than any other novelist."
DR. NIKOLA'S EXPERIMENT.
Illustrated by Sidney Cowell.
JOSEPH HOCKING
ROGER TREWINION.
T. P.'s Weekly says:--"It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hocking
will always have a good story to tell. 'Roger Trewinion' can stand
forth with the best, a strong love interest, plenty of adventure, an
atmosphere of superstition, and Cornwall as the scene. And the scenes
of lawlessness, the curse of hatred between two brothers, the greed of
a selfish mother, and the steadfastness of a sweetheart withdrawn from
a grave, all serve to lead, in a series of graphically and finely
written scenes, to the conclusion that 'there's no curse can stand
against love.'"
THE COMING OF THE KING.
The Glasgow Herald says:--"Mr. Hocking's latest romance exhibits no
diminution of ability, and is marked by insight and dramatic power. His
imagination is fertile, and his skill in the arrangement of incident
far above the average, and there is an air of reality in all his
writing which is peculiarly charming. The author steadily but surely
engages our attention, and we pass from episode to episode with a
deepening sense of the reality of the tale. This is art of no common
order."
