THE FLAMING SWORD.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
"This is told in Mr. Hocking's usual bright and sprightly manner. When over a million copies of a man's books have been sold, all his readers want to know is if the book under review presents the characteristics of the author, and is worthy of his reputation; both of which questions can be answered in the affirmative."—Queen.
"The novel is remarkable, because of its intensely human interest, of the intricacy of the plot, and of the freshness and vigour with which it is developed. The tale is wound up in the happiest possible manner. Mr. Hocking has produced a finished piece of literary workmanship—a novel that will be widely read and enjoyed."—Scotsman.
