POISON ROMANCE AND POISON MYSTERIES

POISON ROMANCE AND
POISON MYSTERIES

C. J. S. THOMPSON.

St. James' Gazette:—"There is indeed no more fascinating reading ... very pleasant and readable.... It is full of good reading, with some rather creepy and saugrenu dippings into the past."

Daily Chronicle:—"Poison is always a fascinating subject. There is something subtle and mystic about the very word. On this attractive theme Mr. Thompson has collected a great deal of information from ancient and modern alike."

Daily Mail:—"People who are fond of prying into the gruesome subject of toxicology will find some interesting chapters in Mr. C. J. S. Thompson's book."

The Athenæum:—"Decidedly sensible and well informed."

Literature:—"Mr. Thompson writes a sprightly chapter on toxicology in fiction."

The Saturday Review:—"A great deal of curious information concerning the history of poisons and poisonings."

Illustrated London News:—"The story portions will attract most attention, and the poisoned gloves and rings of old romance supply satisfaction to that sensational instinct which is absent in hardly one of us."

The Queen:—"Will fascinate most people. Is very readably written. Its only fault is that it is too short."

Liverpool Courier:—"It is a readable book as well as an able one. The author is an eminent toxicologist and writes pleasantly on the lore connected with the science."

The Scotsman:—"It is successful and interesting. Full of odd and startling information."

Manchester Courier:—"The book is extremely interesting and particularly valuable."

Aberdeen Free Press:—"Fascinates the majority of his readers. One could wish that Mr. Thompson had written much more."

Glasgow Citizen:—"A book of the week."

Glasgow Herald:—"Light and eminently readable."
