The Tribune says:—"It must be admitted that Sir Wm. Magnay knows London life better than many novelists, that his men talk like gentlemen, and that his pictures of society are clever and truthful."
The Manchester City News says:—"This well written and attractive story outlines a true picture of the vanities and insincerities of fashionable society in London."
The Road says:—"Few plots in even the best up-to-date novels of to-day are as strongly drawn as this one, which has all the freshness of absolute novelty to recommend it."
The Court Journal says:—"The intensely interesting situation is developed with much ingenuity and power. It is a capital story, told with far more literary skill than is usual. A really fascinating story."
FAUCONBERG
The Daily Telegraph says:—"Good and well written, readable from opening chapter to finish."
The Illustrated Mail says:—"The story teems with incident, moves briskly and as a narrative is very readable."
The Field says:—"The ultimate fate of Fauconberg is always in doubt from the beginning to the unexpected ending. The book has grip and should be a success."
The Aberdeen Journal says:—"From start to finish the story is full of striking situations and Fauconberg will unfailingly appeal to all who love a vigorously told narrative."
