Of how we fared in the new land I will say nothing here. Neither will I
tell by what means we at length returned to England again, or describe
the joy of our children as they played amongst the gardens of my old
home, while my father, a white-haired man, watched them tenderly. That
is a part of another story which, please God, I may tell some day.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS
of
Joseph Hocking's Novels
(UNIFORM WITH THIS VOLUME).
THE COMING OF THE KING.
Illustrated by GRENVILLE MANTON.
The first stages of Nonconformity supply the theme of Mr. HOCKING'S
latest book, "The Coming of the King" is an impressive story which
possesses a real value as a faithful study of one of the most important
epochs in religious history.
ESAU.
Illustrated by BERTHA NEWCOMBE.
"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."--The
Outlook.
"A brilliant, exciting narrative by a writer who has never penned a dull
page."--The British Weekly.
"The story is excellent, with no lack of dramatic situations; and the
characters, whether of Cornish folk or Spaniards, are drawn with
considerable skill."--The Birmingham Post.
GREATER LOVE.
Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE.
"An excellent story, in which the reader will soon find himself
enthralled, the author skilfully compelling his close attention. This
must take rank as one of the best and most interesting of the author's
books."--The Birmingham Post.
"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. The story arrests the attention from the first chapters, and
soon becomes highly dramatic."--The Newcastle Chronicle.
LEST WE FORGET.
Illustrated by J. BARNARD DAVIS.
"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."--Public Opinion.
"A striking, highly dramatic story. Mr. Hocking has written a very fine
historical novel, full of the fire and dash of youth and love."--Sunday
Special.
THE PURPLE ROBE.
Illustrated by J. BARNARD DAVIS.
