THE TREASURE OF HEAVEN
A Romance of Riches
By MARIE CORELLI
WITH PHOTOGRAVURE PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR
CLAUDIUS CLEAR says in the _British Weekly_:--“It seems to me to be the
best and healthiest of all Miss Corelli’s books. She is carried along
for the greater part of the tale by a current of pure and high feeling,
and she reads a most wholesome lesson to a generation much tempted to
cynicism--the eternal lesson that love is the prize and the wealth of
life.... The story is full of life from beginning to end ... it will
rank high among the author’s works alike in merit and popularity.”
THE STANDARD says:--“Miss Corelli gives a brisk, indeed, a passionate
tale of loneliness in search of love, of misery seeking solace, of the
quest of a multi-millionaire for friendship that is disinterested and
affection that has no purchase price. It is distinctly good to find a
preacher with so great a congregation lifting up her voice against the
selfishness of the time, and urging upon us all the divinity of faith,
charity, and loving-kindness.”
THE WORLD AND HIS WIFE says:--“It is a pleasant and absorbing romance,
brimful of varied incident, and written with the alternate vigour
and quieter charm that are the secrets of Miss Corelli’s phenomenal
popularity.”
THE BOOKMAN says:--“I am going to praise it because I have found it
worth my money. It fulfils the first and most urgent duty of a novel in
having a good story to tell and telling it interestingly.”
FREE OPINIONS
FREELY EXPRESSED ON CERTAIN PHASES OF MODERN SOCIAL LIFE AND CONDUCT
By MARIE CORELLI
“MARMADUKE” of _Truth_ says:--“Miss Corelli is a very clever writer,
who has an enormous courage and energy, and great generosity of mind.
In her recently published book, ‘Free Opinions Freely Expressed,’ these
qualities are especially emphasised, and it is due to Miss Corelli to
acknowledge that she exercises an influence for good in a period when
so few writers are exercising any influence whatever.”
