“We cannot speak too highly of Colonel Meadows Taylor’s book.... We would recommend all novel-readers to purchase it at the earliest opportunity.”—John Bull.
“Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable reading.”—Examiner.
HESTER MORLEY’S PROMISE. By Hesba Stretton. 3 vols.
“‘Hester Morley’s Promise’ is much better than the average novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical consideration as a piece of literary work,—not mere mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society—narrow of soul and intellect—in which the book abounds, are very clever.”—Spectator.
“Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special excellence in character, drawing, or construction—though all the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and the interest of the story never flags—as in general tone and colouring.”—Observer.
THE DOCTOR’S DILEMMA. By Hesba Stretton, Author of “Little Meg,” &c., &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.
“A fascinating story which scarcely flags in interest from the first page to the last. It is all story; every page contributes something to the result.”—British Quarterly Review.
THE ROMANTIC ANNALS OF A NAVAL FAMILY. By Mrs. Arthur Traherne. Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d.
“A very readable and interesting book.”—United Service Gazette, June 28, 1873.
“Some interesting letters are introduced, amongst others, several from the late King William IV.”—Spectator.
