Daily Express.—“Mrs. Wharton writes with splendid force and humour. Her book grips, from the beginning to the end.”
Standard.—“We read this book of close on 600 pages at a sitting. Mrs. Wharton’s literary skill is of a high order. Her prose is a delight to read, and her manner captivates us.”
Globe.—“Mrs. Wharton has written a fine novel, or rather, she has not so much written a fine novel as handled finely a big theme. It is surely too late in the day to say that no other woman who writes in English writes so well.”

Athenæum.—“Mr. Harrison supplies full measure of adventures, both serious and comic, deftly intermingled, and he introduces to us a variegated crowd of most life-like and interesting personages who play vivid parts in a vivid and convincing manner.... We congratulate the author on an excellent and stirring tale of a most interesting epoch.”
Globe.—“A fine story, grave and gay by turns, and always interesting.”
The Times.—“What lends a special flavour and character to the tale is its continual variety.... A tale which will appeal alike to the manhood in almost any boy and to the spirit of boyhood persistent in most men.”
