JOSEPH HOCKING
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. 3s., 6d., and 6d.
The Financial Times.—“A strong knowledge of human nature, for which Mr. Hocking is famous, is well portrayed in the pages of this novel, and this, in conjunction with the interesting nature of the plot, renders it particularly successful. The book will be appreciated by novel readers.”
ROGER TREWINION. 3s., 6d., 2s. net, and 6d.
T. P.’s Weekly.—“It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hocking will always have a good story to tell. ‘Roger Trewinion’ can stand forth with the best, a strong love interest, plenty of adventure, an atmosphere of superstition, and Cornwall as the scene.”
THE COMING OF THE KING. 3s. 6d.
The Glasgow Herald.—“Mr. Hocking’s imagination is fertile, and his skill in the arrangement of incident far above the average, and there is an air of reality in all his writing which is peculiarly charming.”
ESAU. 3s. 6d.
The Outlook.—“Remarkable for the dramatic power with which the scenes are drawn and the intense human interest which Mr. Hocking has woven about his characters. ‘Esau’ is sure to be one of the novels of the season.”
GREATER LOVE. 3s. 6d.
The Newcastle Chronicle.—“Though of a totally different character from ‘Lest We Forget,’ Mr. Hocking’s latest story is entitled to take rank along with that fine romance.”
LEST WE FORGET. 3s. 6d.
Public Opinion.—“His story is quite as good as any we have read of the Stanley Weyman’s school, and presents an excellent picture of the exciting times of Gardiner and Bonner.”
AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE? 3s. 6d.
The Weekly Sun.—“An engaging and fascinating romance. The reader puts the story down with a sigh, and wished there were more of these breezy Cornish uplands, for Mr. Joseph Hocking’s easy style of narrative does not soon tire.”
JABEZ EASTERBROOK. 3s. 6d.
The Rock.—“Real strength is shown in the sketches, of which that of Brother Bowman is most prominent. In its way it is delightful.”
THE WEAPONS OF MYSTERY. 3s. 6d., and 6d.
“Weapons of Mystery” is a singularly powerful story of occult influences and of their exertion for evil purposes.
ZILLAH: A ROMANCE. 3s. 6d.
The Spectator.—“The drawing of some of the characters indicates the possession by Mr. Hocking of a considerable gift of humour. The contents of his book indicate that he takes a genuine interest in the deeper problems of the day.”
THE MONK OF MAR-SABA. 3s. 6d.
The Star.—“Great power and thrilling interest.... The scenery of the Holy Land has rarely been so vividly described as in this charming book of Mr. Hocking’s.”
THE PURPLE ROBE. 3s., 6d., and 2s. net.
The Queen.—“It is exceedingly clever, and excites the reader’s interest and brings out the powerful nature of the clever young minister. This most engrossing book challenges comparison with the brilliance of Lothair.”
THE SCARLET WOMAN. 3s., 6d., and 2s. net.
The Methodist Recorder.—“This is Mr. Hocking’s strongest and best book. We advise every one to read it. The plot is simple, compact and strenuous; the writing powerful.”
ALL MEN ARE LIARS. 3s., 6d., and 1s. net.
The Christian World.—“This is a notable book. Thoughtful people will be fascinated by its actuality, its fearlessness, and the insight it gives into the influence of modern thought and literature.”
ISHMAEL PENGELLY: AN OUTCAST. 3s., 6d.
The Athenæum.—“The book is to be recommended for the dramatic effectiveness of some of the scenes.”
THE STORY OF ANDREW FAIRFAX. 3s., 6d.
The Manchester Examiner.—“Rustic scenes are drawn with free, broad touches, without Mr. Buchanan’s artificiality, and, if we may venture to say it, with more realism than Mr. Hardy’s country pictures.”
THE BIRTHRIGHT. 3s., 6d.
The Spectator.—“‘The Birthright’ is, in its way, quite as well constructed, as well written, and as full of incident as any story that has come from the pen of Sir Conan Doyle or Mr. Stanley Weyman.”
MISTRESS NANCY MOLESWORTH. 3s., 6d.
The Scotsman.—“‘Mistress Nancy Molesworth’ is as charming a story of the kind as could be wished, and it excels in literary workmanship as well as in imaginative vigour and daring invention.”
FIELDS OF FAIR RENOWN. 3s., 6d.
The Dundee Advertiser.—“Mr. Hocking has produced a work which his readers of all classes will appreciate.... There are exhibited some of the most beautiful aspects of disposition.”
GOD AND MAMMON. 3s., 6d., and 6d.
The Literary World.—“The story is vigorously told, his struggles, his success and his love affairs are vividly described, while a strong religious tone pervades the book.”
AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS. 3s., 6d.
Is a story in almost a new vein for Mr. Hocking. He has written of Cornwall before, but never such a story of plot and counterplot, mystery and adventure, so deftly intermingled as this.
