THE SPECTATOR.—“Brilliant and eloquent.”
MORNING POST.—“Has an extraordinary interest as a loving presentment of a most extraordinary personage.”
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—“In a series of brilliant chapters, Mrs. Atherton enables us to see how, mixed with the rare and original essence of Hamilton’s character, there were ordinary human elements which, though they interfered in some measure with his success, only made him the more lovable.... His career forms so rounded and complete a narrative, revealing throughout one prevailing character, that it lends itself to the author’s purposes of a ‘dramatic biography’ better, perhaps, than any other that could be selected.”
GLASGOW HERALD.—“An entrancing book.”
