'To say that book is by the author of "Mehalah"is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a we lth of ingenious \mz.%zry.'—Speaker. 'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be verjr generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents ofwhich he makes use are striking andoriginal, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat excep­ tional people, are drawn and coloured withartistic force. Add to thisthat his descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands ofa master ofhis art, that he is always fresh and never dull, andunder such conditions it s no wonder that readers havegained confidence bothin his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'— Court Circular.
