The _Times_ says:--"The story treats with considerable freshness the
familiar story of Elizabethan enterprise and adventure on the Spanish
main and in Southern America."
The _Athenæum_ says:--"No one could have written such a book as 'For
God and Gold' without saturating himself in the literature of the
spacious times therein depicted.... He has produced a fresh and vivid
romance, in which the conflicting tendencies of the early Elizabethan
epoch--euphuistic, ascetic, and adventurous--are happily and often
divertingly contrasted."
