SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
The Times.
“The story of Chinese Gordon’s Life, full as it has been of adventure and stirring incident, cannot fail to appeal to a wide circle of readers.… The record of Gordon’s career would be impressive under any circumstances; but it will be allowed to his biographer that he has turned to good use the copious materials placed at his disposal, and that this volume is worthy the fame of its subject.”
Saturday Review.
“The contents of this book mainly relate to the two most prominent questions of the day—the position of China as a fighting Power, and the condition of the Soudan; and it appears therefore at a most opportune moment.… The present volume will prove a valuable guide to politicians at the present crisis, as well as a welcome source of information to those who desire to learn more than can be gathered from newspaper reports of the condition of the Chinese and Army, and of the forces of the Madhi.”
