shows the inevitable disaster heaping up ... The good Cardinal Bonpre is a beautiful figure, fit to stand beside the good Bishop in "Les Miserables." It is a book with a serious purpose expressed with absolute unconventionality and passion ...

Illustrated. _Sixth Edition._ 'There is searching analysis of human nature, with a most ingeniously constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts of his women with marvellous subtlety and delicacy.'--_Times_.
