Didactic fiction; Men -- United States -- Fiction; United States -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Fiction
Its human interest is so vivid that it is one of those historical novels
laid down reluctantly, only with the last page, with the feeling that
one turns away from men and women with whom for a while he lived and
moved.... A masterly and great and absorbing work of fiction....
Dignity, a superb conjunction of historical and imaginative material,
the movement of a strong river of fancy, an unfailing quality of human
interest, fill it overflowingly.--_N.Y. Mail and Express._
In invention, in the power to make mind-impressions, in thrilling
interest, "The Prince of India" is not inferior to "Ben-Hur." The visit
to the grave of Hiram, King of Tyre, with which the story opens, at once
arouses the reader's keenest interest, which culminates in the closing
pages of the second volume with the downfall of Constantinople.--_Philadelphia
Inquirer._
