WORLD.—"Brisk and amusing throughout."

SATURDAY REVIEW.—"A spirited romance.... It is the brightest tale of the kind that we have read for a long time."

DAILY MAIL.—"A robust and engaging eighteenth century romance."

SCOTSMAN.—"The story possesses all the elements of a good-going love romance, in which the wooing is not confined to the sterner sex; while its flavour of the sea will secure it favour in novel-reading quarters where anything approaching sentimentality or sermonizing does not meet with much appreciation."

MORNING POST.—"There is a spirit and evident enjoyment in the telling of the story which is refreshing."

ACADEMY.—"A brisk story of old naval days."

SPECTATOR.—"Pleasant reading is furnished in The Loves of the Lady Arabella."
