A Bitter Heritage .
Mr. Bloundelle-Burton is one of the most successful of the purveyors of historical romance who have started up in the wake of Stanley Weyman and Conan Doyle. He has a keen eye for the picturesque, a happy instinct for a dramatic (or more generally a melodramatic) situation, and he is apt and careful in his historic paraphernalia. He usually succeeds, therefore, in producing an effective story. -- Charleston News and Courier .
Fortune's my Foe .
The story moves briskly, and there is plenty of dramatic action. -- Philadelphia Telegraph .
The Clash of Arms .
Well written, and the interest is sustained from the beginning to the end of the tale. -- Brooklyn Eagle .
Vividness of detail and rare descriptive power give the story life and excitement. -- Boston Herald .
Denounced .
A story of the critical times of the vagrant and ambitious Charles I, it is so replete with incident and realistic happenings that one seems translated to the very scenes and days of that troublous era in English history. -- Boston Courier .
The Scourge of God .
The story is one of the best in style, construction, information, and graphic power, that have been written in recent years. -- Dial, Chicago .
