For boldness of conception this romance is unique of its kind. The amount of research shown is immense. The mere mise en scène necessary for the proper presentation of the Byzantine period alone involves a life-long study.... There are incidents innumerable in this romance, and all are worked up with dramatic effect.—N.Y. Times.
Its human interest is so vivid that it is one of those historical novels laid down reluctantly, only with the last page, with the feeling that one turns away from men and women with whom for a while he lived and moved.... A masterly and great and absorbing work of fiction.... Dignity, a superb conjunction of historical and imaginative material, the movement of a strong river of fancy, an unfailing quality of human interest, fill it overflowingly.—N.Y. Mail and Express.
In invention, in the power to make mind-impressions, in thrilling interest, "The Prince of India" is not inferior to "Ben-Hur." The visit to the grave of Hiram, King of Tyre, with which the story opens, at once arouses the reader's keenest interest, which culminates in the closing pages of the second volume with the downfall of Constantinople.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
