_Court Journal._--Mr. Robert Cromie's remarkably clever and entertaining
volume is told with much of the vivid fancy of a Jules Verne--with
remarkable picturesqueness, and the experiences of mortals in Mars are
described with considerable humour.
_Review of Reviews._--An unquestionably interesting story. The
adventures of the hero and his friends are in no small degree thrilling.
_Glasgow Herald._--The imagination is brilliant, the scientific details
are skilfully worked in, the dialogues and descriptions are lively and
interesting, and the pictures of Martian life and scenery are
remarkable--a decidedly clever book.
FOR ENGLAND'S SAKE
_Academy._--There is not a dull page in the story.
_Army and Navy Gazette._--A capital little story of military life, full
of bright word-painting.

written with a great deal of enthusiasm, and a great deal of common
sense to boot.
_Irish Times._--The plot is well conceived, and the interest throughout
is well maintained.

descriptive power. He is most felicitous in his word pictures of

this charming story of love and war is sure to appeal with force to a
large circle of readers.
_Liverpool Daily Post._--A well-told story of life and love in troublous
times in India.

as good as it could be.

_Leeds Mercury._--The author relies on vivid description, pointed and
racy pictures, and lively and striking incident for interest.
