for this book. Deeply engrossing as a novel, pure in style, and
practically faultless as a literary work."

achieved a story which is full of liveliness."

with feeling; it is curiously fertile in character and incident, and it
works its way onward to a most remarkable climax."

a story."
THE BETRAYAL.
THE DUNDEE ADVERTISER.--"Mr. Oppenheim's skill has never been displayed
to better advantage than here.... He has excelled himself, and to assert

contemporaries."

cover to cover, and the story is a fascinating medley of romance and
mystery."
THE YELLOW CRAYON.

sympathy, fine powers of narrative, and can suggest a life history in a
sentence."

characters live gives this book distinction among the novels of the

penetration of the most experienced novel reader."

THE ABERDEEN DAILY JOURNAL.--"The story is rich in sensational incident
and dramatic situations. It is seldom, indeed, that we meet with a novel
