Can be safely recommended to those who like their fiction hot and strong

proved herself one of our cleanest and most prolific weavers of
sensational novels, and "Her Marriage Lines" shows no diminution of her
inventive faculties.

A tale comparable to "Convict 99" in its actuality and holding interest.

and from first to last our attention is closely gripped; a grand book,
unaffected and sincere."

THE SCOTSMAN.--"The story is always attractive by the cleverness with
which it keeps fantastic history persuasive, and it goes so quickly that
it is over before one realizes that it is unreal."
THE RIVER OF STARS.
Another of Mr. Edgar Wallace's strenuous tales of crime and adventure.
CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS'
NATURE BOOKS.
"Picturesque, full of character, instructive, entertaining, often
thrilling--the stories are sure to be received with the same pleasure as
their predecessors have been by both the naturalist and the lover of
good literature."--ILLUSTRATED SPORTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS.
"Under the guidance of Mr. Roberts we have often adventured among the
wild beasts of the land and sea, and we hope to do so many times in the
future. It is an education not to be missed by those who have the
chance, and the chance is every one's."--THE ATHENÆUM.
