r" is bright, sparkling, and entertaining.... Few novelists
are better able to describe the political and social eddies of
contemporary society in the greatest city in the world than Mr.
McCarthy; and this novel abounds in vivid and picturesque sidelights,
drawn with a strong and simple touch.'--Leeds Mercury.

'This is a pleasant and entertaining story.... A book to be read by an
open window on a sunny afternoon between luncheon and tea.'--Daily
Chronicle.

'Mr. McCarthy's story is pleasant reading.'--Scotsman.

'As a work of literary art the book is excellent.'--Glasgow
Herald.

'"The Dictator" is bright, sparkling, and entertaining. The book might
almost be described as a picture of modern London. It abounds in vivid
and picturesque sidelights, drawn with a strong touch.'--Leeds
Mercury.

'In "The Dictator" the genial leader of the Irish party writes as
charmingly as ever. His characters are as full of life, as exquisitely
portrayed, and as true to nature as anything that is to be found in
fiction, and there is the same subtle fascination of plot and incident
that has already procured for the author of "Dear Lady Disdain" his
select circle of admirers.... The nicety of style, the dainty wholesome
wit, and the ever-present freshness of idea that pervade it render the
reading of it a positive feast of pleasure. It is the work of a man of
the world and a gentleman, of a man of letters, and of a keen observer
of character and manners.'--Colonies and India.
