PRESS OPINIONS.
"Mr. Firth Scott's tale of the then little-known land of Australia—for it is told of a time prior to the discovery of gold—is strikingly original and ingenious, animated, interesting, and puzzling.... 'The Track of Midnight' deserves grateful recognition by lovers of tales well told; in it there is life, action, character, and admirable colour. If this is, as we think it is, Mr. Firth Scott's first novel, he has made an uncommonly good beginning."—The World.
"'The Track of Midnight' is a very exciting story, for it is full of hair-breadth 'scapes and never for a moment halts. It holds the attention from first to last, being a tale of love as well as of adventure."—The Globe.
"The secret of 'Midnight's' identity is capitally kept, and comes as a surprise to the reader."—Daily Graphic.
"Readers in quest of an exciting and cleverly-constructed story should make a note of Mr. Scott's tale of Australian adventure."—Bookseller.
"The story is well put together, and is faithful in every detail to the traditions which have come down to the present period, and which are sanctioned by the narratives of eye-witnesses. The interest excited in the mind of the reader in the development of the story is entrancing, while with a masterly skill he reserves his greatest surprise for the last page of the book. Scenes of adventure, blood-curdling affrays, and all the 'moving incidents of flood and field,' fill the pages with peculiar interest, and carry the reader to the end with a sigh that the end is come.... As a story of the early colonial days it is bound to almost surfeit the mind of the most exacting lover of adventure." —Queensland Mercantile Gazette.
