By MARIE CORELLI
The Treasure of Heaven.
A Romance of Riches.
With a Photogravure Frontispiece Portrait of the Author.
Claudius Clear says in The British Weekly:
“It seems to me the best and healthiest of all Miss Corelli’s books. She is carried along for the greater part of the tale by a current of pure and high feeling, and she reads a most wholesome lesson to a generation much tempted to cynicism—the eternal lesson that love is the prize and the wealth of life.... The story is full of life from beginning to end ... it will rank high among the author’s work alike in merit and in popularity.”
The Standard says:
“Miss Corelli gives a brisk, indeed, a passionate tale of oneliness in search of love, of misery seeking solace, of the quest of a multi-millionaire for friendship that is disinterested and affection that has no purchase price. It is distinctly good to find a preacher with so great a congregation lifting up her voice against the selfishness of the time and urging upon us all the divinity of faith, charity and loving-kindness.”
Delicia and other Stories.
The Daily Mirror says:
“Never so plainly, perhaps, as in this burning preface, and the illustrative story that follows it, has Miss Corelli lashed cowardice and vanity of Man, or the heartlessness and atheism which she tells us are making of ‘upper class’ England a something worse than pagan Rome was just before its fall.”
