illpotts in all his work has done no single piece of
portraiture better than this presentation of Philip
Ouldsbroom.... A triumph of the novelist's understanding and
keen drawing.... A Dartmoor background described in terms of
an artist's deeply felt appreciation.--_New York World._
"No other English writer has painted such fascinating and
colorful word-pictures of Dartmoor's heaths and hills, woods

"A strong book, flashing here and there with beautiful gems

intellectual treat."--_London Evening Standard._

Outlook._
"One of the best of this author's many works."--_The Bookman._

curious mixture of soldier and civilian that makes up Indian
society. She shows us the life of the country from many
standpoints, giving us the idea of a storehouse of experience
so well stocked that incidents can be selected with a
