The Seats of the Mighty.
Being the Memoirs of Captain Robert Moray, sometime an Officer in the
Virginia Regiment, and afterwards of Amherst's Regiment. Illustrated,

"Another historical romance of the vividness and intensity of 'The
Seats of the Mighty' has never come from the pen of an American.
Mr. Parker's latest work may without hesitation be set down as the
best he has done. From the first chapter to the last word interest
in the book never wanes; one finds it difficult to interrupt the
narrative with breathing space. It whirls with excitement and
strange adventure.... All of the scenes do homage to the genius of
Mr. Parker, and make 'The Seats of the Mighty' one of the books of
the year."--_Chicago Record._
"Mr. Gilbert Parker is to be congratulated on the excellence of his
latest story, 'The Seats of the Mighty,' and his readers are to be
congratulated on the direction which his talents have taken
therein.... It is so good that we do not stop to think of its
literature, and the personality of Doltaire is a masterpiece of
creative art."--_New York Mail and Express._

"Mr. Parker here adds to a reputation already wide, and anew
demonstrates his power of pictorial portrayal and of strong
dramatic situation and climax."--_Philadelphia Bulletin._

"Interest, pith, force, and charm--Mr. Parker's new story possesses
all these qualities.... Almost bare of synthetical decoration, his
paragraphs are stirring because they are real. We read at times--as
we have read the great masters of romance--breathlessly."--_The
Critic._

"A book which no one will be satisfied to put down until the end
has been matter of certainty and assurance."--_The Nation._

holding the reader's attention to the end."
