_BY THE SAME AUTHOR._
REDEEMED IN BLOOD.
BY
LADY FLORENCE DIXIE,
_Author of
“The Young Castaways,” “Across Patagonia,” “In the Land of Misfortune,”
etc._
In Three Vols. Crown 8vo, 31s. 6d.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“A novel of stirring adventure, but also one with a purpose.”—_Morning
Post._
“In this novel, Lady Florence Dixie inculcates her well-known theories
about the education and position of women. The way is paved for various
thrilling adventures.”—_Times._
“Lady Florence Dixie has the courage of her opinions; she writes freely
and frankly, with a natural grace of manner that makes her works
interesting and readable, and she has the art of writing a good story
while enforcing her theories. There is plenty of excitement, adventure,
and interest in the story, and, apart from its too startling title, Lady
Florence Dixie’s novel will commend itself to the reading
public.”—_Life._
“Under whatever impression the book is first opened, it is likely to be
perused for its own sake to the end.”—_Sunday Times._
“Carries us through at breathless speed.”—_Truth._
“That Lady Florence Dixie can write well, is shown not only by her
natural sketch MŒVA, but by the character of Lady Ettrick, and her
charming sketches at the opening of the youthful lovers Rory and Lorna,
who certainly do not bend to the customs of conventional society.
Whatever else be said for or against the novel it is indubitably
exciting.”—_Academy._
“Lady Florence is a vivacious writer; many of her social sketches are
very happy, and among her faults she certainly does not number that of
dulness.”—_Literary World._
“Lady Florence Dixie always writes brightly ... her dominant qualities
are to be found in ‘Redeemed in Blood.’”—_World._
“On the subject of rational dress and the prevailing system of bringing
up young people, Lady Florence is neither silent nor soft spoken; she
has very pronounced opinions as to the way in which girls should be
brought up, and she gives free expression to them. She writes naturally,
sensibly, and skilfully.”—_Scotsman._
“It is written with so much dash and go, and there is so much
delightfully fresh incident in it, that it is eminently
readable.”—_Glasgow Herald._
“There is no sham romanticism in the book; its literary workmanship is
vigorous. Whatever else Lady Florence may be, she is emphatically
original.”—_Scottish Leader._
“The opening chapter contains some capital descriptive wanting, and the
interest is most cleverly kept up to the end.”—_Newcastle Chronicle._
