Sudan -- History -- 1821-1881
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent,
and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of
man.... The author has immense command of language, and a
limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance
will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the
day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even
sublime.'--W. T. STEAD in the _Review of Reviews_.

THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Eighth Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis

considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial
art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers
to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure.'--_The World._

characters are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times._

compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'--_National Observer._

action.'--_Speaker._
'From cover to cover "Phroso" not only engages the attention, but
carries the reader in little whirls of delight from adventure to
adventure.'--_Academy._

ingeniously constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts of
his women with marvellous subtlety and delicacy.'--_Times._
