SCOTSMAN.--"Mr. Mitford brings forward with excellent effect his
knowledge of nature, customs and tradition. The product is a tale rich
in incident and character, set against an effective background of
savagery and mystery."
A DUAL RESURRECTION.
READING STANDARD.--"The novel reader who loves a really good novel full
of desperate adventure will never be disappointed when Mr. Mitford's
books are in question. This is a strong and clever piece of work, the
plot is ingenious and the characterization uncommonly well done."
SEAFORD'S SNAKE.
MADAME.--"If you like well-written stories of adventure you should get
Mr. Mitford's latest novel. The characters are well portrayed, the story
written in a brisk, virile style that proves very attractive."
HEATH HOVER MYSTERY.
TIMES.--"A capital mystery and detective story, with some exciting
scenes in India."
JOSEPH HOCKING
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
THE FINANCIAL TIMES.--"A strong knowledge of human nature, for which Mr.
Hocking is famous, is well portrayed in the pages of this novel, and
this, in conjunction with the interesting nature of the plot, renders it
particularly successful. The book will be appreciated by novel readers."
ROGER TREWINION.
T P'S WEEKLY.--"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."
THE COMING OF THE KING.
THE GLASGOW HERALD.--"Mr. Hocking's 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."
ESAU.
THE OUTLOOK.--"Remarkable for the dramatic power with which the scenes
are drawn and the intense human interest which Mr. Hocking has woven
about his characters. 'Esau' is sure to be one of the novels of the
season."
GREATER LOVE.
THE NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.--"Though of a totally different character from
'Lest We Forget,' Mr. Hocking's latest story is entitled to take rank
along with that fine romance."
LEST WE FORGET.
PUBLIC OPINION.--"His story is quite as good as any we have read of the
Stanley Weyman's school, and presents an excellent picture of the
exciting times of Gardiner and Bonner."
AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE?
THE WEEKLY SUN.--"An engaging and fascinating romance. The reader puts
the story down with a sigh, and wishes there were more of these breezy
Cornish uplands, for Mr. Joseph Hocking's easy style of narrative does
not soon tire."
JABEZ EASTERBROOK.
THE ROCK.--"Real strength is shown in the sketches, of which that of
Brother Bowman is most prominent. In its way it is delightful."
THE WEAPONS OF MYSTERY.
"Weapons of Mystery" is a singularly powerful story of occult influences
and of their exertion for evil purposes.
