Novels by Joseph Hocking.
Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 3/6 each. Each volume uniform.
Though Mr. Joseph Hocking's novels have been (by the Spectator) compared to Mr. Baring-Gould's, and (by the Star) to Mr. Thomas Hardy's—next to whom it placed him as a writer of country life—and by other journals to Mr. Hall Caine's and Mr. Robert Buchanan's, they are, one and all, stamped with striking and original individuality. Bold in conception, pure in tone, strenuously high and earnest in purpose, daring in thought, picturesque and lifelike in description, worked out with singular power and in nervous and vigorous language, it is not to be wondered at that Mr. Hocking's novels are eagerly awaited by a large and ever-increasing public.
