By Right of Conquest: A Novel

by Arthur Hornblow

Philadelphia NORTH AMERICAN

"'The Profligate' is a modern rake's progress centering in a mysterious tragedy that drives the hero into exile and culminating in a series of sensational surprises. The novelist's gifts of invention, his skill in inspiring and conserving interest in his important characters and a considerable talent for dramatic description should contribute in no slight degree to strengthen the grip of the story upon popular attention."

"A thrilling story of love, mystery and adventure, 'The Profligate' claims the attention at the outset and holds it to the end. The story is dramatically and forcefully told and altogether is a very interesting book. The characters are not overdrawn, the situations not impossible, and the book will doubtless have a large and ready sale."

Mr. Hornblow's splendid achievements with "The Lion and the Mouse," and "The End of the Game," must be fresh in the memory of all who follow current literature.
