"Is a story of sustained power--power controlled by a practised hand which quickly grips the interest of the reader and holds it undiminished to the end."--_Birmingham Post._ "Conceived and executed in the author's most vigorous style, we are carried breathlessly forward from the first page to the last; almost every chapter contains some hair-breadth 'scape. It is all very exciting and picturesque."--_Westminster Gazette._ "It is a skilful and well-knit story, full of exciting episodes. It arouses human sympathy, and sustains a good level of interest. It is probably one of the best of Mr. Silas Hocking's recent books."--_Sheffield Independent._ "Mr. Hocking's latest novel is intensely interesting and exciting. The scene is laid in Russia, and the plot embraces the struggles and adventures of two soldiers who have deserted from the Russian army. They are arrested and taken to Siberia, and their privations and struggles for freedom are depicted with a master hand. The character of the heroine is one which will draw the sympathy of all, and the story one which should appeal to a large circle of readers."--_Canadian Bookseller._ "There is a vivid realism in the story. The exciting adventures of the heroine, etc., form a chapter of incidents which keep the reader chained to the book till the last page is turned. The story is one of the best, if not the best that Mr. Hocking has written."--_Daily News._ End of Project Gutenberg's The Squire's Daughter, by Silas K(itto) Hocking
