The Birthright
By Joseph Hocking, Author of "All Men are Liars," "Andrew Fairfax," &c.
With Illustrations by Harold Piffard.
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
"This volume proves beyond all doubt that Mr Hocking has mastered the
art of the historical romancist. '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 Mr Conan Doyle or Mr Stanley
Weyman."--_The Spectator._
"We read Mr Hocking's book at a sitting; not because we had any leisure
for the task, but simply because the book compelled us.... We hold our
breath as each chapter draws to an end, yet cannot stop there, for the
race is unflagging.... We congratulate Mr Hocking upon his book, for it
is a great advance upon anything he has done. We prophesy a big public
for 'The Birthright.'"--_The Daily Chronicle._
"'The Birthright' will be appreciated on account of its successions of
exciting scenes, its crisp dialogue, its play of varied character, and a
certain eerie air of superstition with which it is pervaded....--_The
Daily Mail._
"A thoroughly enjoyable romance.... Mr Hocking has woven a story which
few will lay down unfinished. The interest never flags for a moment, and
the faithfulness with which the scenery of the land of Tre, Pol and Pen
is described, and the quaint dialect and traditions of its older
inhabitants are reproduced, is beyond praise."--_Weekly Times._
"We feel certain that, were we still condemned to go to bed at nine, we
should sleep with the book under our pillow, and wake with the birds to
see what happened.... A capital story of its class."--_The Star._
