PENGELLY: AN OUTCAST.
THE ATHENAEUM.--"The book is to be recommended for the dramatic
effectiveness of some of the scenes. The wild, half-mad woman is always
picturesque wherever she appears, and the rare self-repression of her
son is admirably done."
THE STORY OF ANDREW FAIRFAX.
THE MANCHESTER EXAMINER.--"Rustic scenes and characters are drawn with
free, broad touches, without Mr. Buchanan's artificiality, and, if we
may venture to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy's country
pictures."
THE BIRTHRIGHT.
THE SPECTATOR.--"'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 Sir Conan Doyle or Mr. Stanley Weyman."
MISTRESS NANCY MOLESWORTH.
THE SCOTSMAN.--"'Mistress Nancy Molesworth' is as charming a story of
the kind as could be wished, and it excels in literary workmanship as
well as in imaginative vigour and daring invention."
FIELDS OF FAIR RENOWN.
THE DUNDEE ADVERTISER.--"Mr. Hocking has produced a work which his
readers of all classes will appreciate.... There are exhibited some of
the most beautiful aspects of disposition."
GOD AND MAMMON.
THE LITERARY WORLD.--"The hero of Mr. Hocking's latest novel is a clever
young country lawyer. The story is vigorously told, his struggles, his
success and his love affairs are vividly described, while a strong
religious tone pervades the book."
MARIE CONNOR LEIGHTON
HER CONVICT HUSBAND.
Although Mrs. Leighton's work is often spoken of as "melodramatic," it
is of the kind that one enthuses over by reason of its emotional
interest and unusual realism.
HER MARRIAGE LINES.
Can be safely recommended to those who like their fiction hot and strong
and full of sensation of the more robust sort. Marie Connor Leighton has
proved herself one of our cleanest and most prolific weavers of
sensational novels, and "Her Marriage Lines" shows no diminution of her
inventive faculties.
DUCKS AND DRAKES.
A tale comparable to "Convict 99" in its actuality and holding interest.
THE MISSING MISS RANDOLPH.
Marie C. Leighton has done full justice to her reputation as a writer of
highly sensational and dramatic fiction.
THE TRIANGLE.
THE COMMENTATOR.--"Altogether a most powerful and well-written novel;
and one likely to maintain a permanently conspicuous position upon every
library list."
EDGAR WALLACE.
GREY TIMOTHY.
DAILY NEWS AND LEADER.--"Mr.
