By CECIL LOWIS
GUARDIAN.—"An exceedingly well-written, pleasant volume.... Entirely enjoyable."
LITERATURE.—"A capital picture of official life in Burma."
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"Emphatically of a nature to make us ask for more from the same source.... Those who appreciate a story without any sensational incidents, and written with keen observation and great distinction of style, will find it delightful reading.... Cannot fail to please its readers."
SPECTATOR.—"Mr. Lowis's story is pleasant to read in more senses than one. It is not only clever and wholesome, but printed in a type so large and clear as to reconcile us to the thickness of the volume."
ATHENÆUM.—"The author writes in a clear, attractive style, and succeeds in maintaining the reader's interest from the first page to the last."
WORLD.—"One of the best stories that we have recently read. The touches of Burmese ways and character are excellent. The local colour is sufficient, and the little group which plays the skilful comedy has rare variety and lifelikeness."
DAILY NEWS.—"We are grateful to it no less for its large and clear type, than for its merits as a novel."
ACADEMY.—"The life of the station is admirably drawn by Mr. Lowis, and the love-story holds, without exciting, the reader. A most readable novel."
LITERARY WORLD.—"Charming.... The reader may be assured of entertainment who trusts himself to Mr. Lowis's care."
