THE METHODIST RECORDER.--"This is Mr. Hocking's strongest and best
book. We advise every one to read it. The plot is simple, compact and
strenuous; the writing powerful."
ALL MEN ARE LIARS. 3_s._, 6_d._, and 1_s._ net.
THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.--"This is a notable book. Thoughtful people will
be fascinated by its actuality, its fearlessness, and the insight it
gives into the influence of modern thought and literature."
ISHMAEL PENGELLY: AN OUTCAST. 3_s._, 6_d._
THE ATHENAEUM.--"The book is to be recommended for the dramatic
effectiveness of some of the scenes."
THE STORY OF ANDREW FAIRFAX. 3_s._, 6_d._
THE MANCHESTER EXAMINER.--"Rustic scenes are drawn with free, broad
touches, without Mr. Buchanan's artificiality, and, if we may venture
to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy's country pictures."
THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3_s._, 6_d._
THE SPECTATOR.--"'The Birthright' is, in its way, quite as well
constructed, as well written, and as full of incident as any story that
has come from the pen of Sir Conan Doyle or Mr. Stanley Weyman."
MISTRESS NANCY MOLESWORTH. 3_s._, 6_d._
THE SCOTSMAN.--"'Mistress Nancy Molesworth' is as charming a story of
the kind as could be wished, and it excels in literary workmanship as
well as in imaginative vigour and daring invention."
FIELDS OF FAIR RENOWN. 3_s._, 6_d._
THE DUNDEE ADVERTISER.--"Mr. Hocking has produced a work which his
readers of all classes will appreciate.... There are exhibited some of
the most beautiful aspects of disposition."
GOD AND MAMMON. 3_s._, 6_d._, and 6_d._
THE LITERARY WORLD.--"The story is vigorously told, his struggles, his
success and his love affairs are vividly described, while a strong
religious tone pervades the book."
AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS. 3_s._, 6_d._
Is a story in almost a new vein for Mr. Hocking. He has written of
Cornwall before, but never such a story of plot and counterplot,
mystery and adventure, so deftly intermingled as this.
MARIE CONNOR LEIGHTON
HER CONVICT HUSBAND. 6_s._
Although Mrs. Leighton's work is often spoken of as "melodramatic,"
it is of the kind that one enthuses over by reason of its emotional
interest and unusual realism.
DUCKS AND DRAKES. 6_s._
A tale comparable to "Convict 99" in its actuality and holding
interest.
THE MISSING MISS RANDOLPH. 6_s._
Marie C. Leighton has done full justice to her reputation as a writer
of highly sensational and dramatic fiction.
THE TRIANGLE. 6_s._
THE COMMENTATOR.--"Altogether a most powerful and well-written novel;
and one likely to maintain a permanently conspicuous position upon
every library list."
BLACK SILENCE. 6_s._
THE FINANCIAL TIMES.--"With each new production Mrs. Leighton contrives
to add to her reputation as a writer of sensational fiction, but we
doubt if any of her previous efforts, not excepting the famous 'Convict
99,' can claim equality in this respect with 'Black Silence.'"
GERALDINE WALTON--WOMAN. 6_s._
