'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a dull person indeed.'--_Daily Chronicle._ THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. Illustrated. _Sixth Edition._ 'A rousing and dramatic tale. A book like this, in which swords flash, great surprises are undertaken, and daring deeds done, in which men and women live and love in the old passionate way, is a joy inexpressible.'--_Daily Chronicle._ WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC: The Story of a Lost Napoleon. _Fourth Edition._ 'Here we find romance--real, breathing, living romance. The character of Valmond is drawn unerringly. The book must be read, we may say re-read, for any one thoroughly to appreciate Mr. Parker's delicate touch and innate sympathy with humanity.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._ AN ADVENTURER OF THE NORTH: The Last Adventures of 'Pretty Pierre.' _Second Edition._ 'The present book is full of fine and moving stories of the great North, and it will add to Mr. Parker's already high reputation.'--_Glasgow Herald._ THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY. Illustrated. _Ninth Edition._ 'The best thing he has done; one of the best things that any one has done lately.'--_St. James's Gazette._ 'Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every serious novel that he attempts. He shows the matured power which his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a really fine historical novel.'--_Athenæum._ 'A great book.'--_Black and White._ 'One of the strongest stories of historical interest and adventure that we have read for many a day.... A notable and successful book.'--_Speaker._ THE POMP OF THE LAVILETTES. _Second Edition. 3s. 6d._ 'Living, breathing romance, genuine and unforced pathos, and a deeper and more subtle knowledge of human nature than Mr. Parker has ever displayed before. It is, in a word, the work of a true artist.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._ THE BATTLE OF THE STRONG: a Romance of Two Kingdoms. Illustrated. _Fourth Edition._ 'Mr. Gilbert Parker has a master's hand in weaving the threads of romantic fiction. There is scarcely a single character which does not convince us.'--_Daily Chronicle._ 'Such a splendid story, so splendidly told, will be read with avidity, and will add new honour even to Mr. Parker's reputation.'--_St. James's Gazette._ 'No one who takes a pleasure in literature but will read Mr. Gilbert Parker's latest romance with keen enjoyment. The mere writing is so good as to be a delight in itself, apart altogether from the interest of the tale.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
