"Mr. Hope has never given more sustained proof of his cleverness
than in 'The King's Mirror.' In elegance, delicacy, and tact it
ranks with the best of his previous novels, while in the wide range
of its portraiture and the subtlety of its analysis it surpasses
all his earlier ventures."--_London Spectator_.
"Mr. Anthony Hope is at his best in this new novel. He returns in
some measure to the color and atmosphere of 'The Prisoner of
Zenda.' ...A strong book, charged with close analysis and exquisite
irony; a book full of pathos and moral fiber--in short, a book to
be read."--_London Chronicle_.
"A story of absorbing interest and one that will add greatly to the
author's reputation.... Told with all the brilliancy and charm
which we have come to associate with Mr. Anthony Hope's
work."--_London Literary World_.
=The Chronicles of Count Antonio.=
With Photogravure Frontispiece by S. W. Van Schaick. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of
Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws.... To all
those whose pulses still stir at the recital of deeds of high
courage, we may recommend this book.... The chronicle conveys the
emotion of heroic adventure, and is picturesquely
written."--_London Daily News_.
"It has literary merits all its own, of a deliberate and rather
deep order.... In point of execution 'The Chronicles of Count
Antonio' is the best work that Mr. Hope has yet done. The design is
clearer, the workmanship more elaborate, the style more
colored."--_Westminster Gazette_.
=The God in the Car.=
New edition, uniform with "The Chronicles of Count Antonio." 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.
"'The God in the Car' is just as clever, just as distinguished in
style, just as full of wit, and of what nowadays some persons like
better than wit--allusiveness--as any of his stories. It is
saturated with the modern atmosphere; is not only a very clever but
a very strong story; in some respects, we think, the strongest Mr.
Hope has yet written."--_London Speaker_.
"A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well 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."--_London World_.
