Weyman, Stanley John. [Starvecrow farm.] [†]$1.50. Longmans.
“The story is placed in the early part of the last century; the heroine, engaged to one man, elopes with another, on whose head there is a price. The couple are captured the day of their flight from the girl’s home, but the man escapes, leaving the girl in the hands of the law. The world thinks her an accomplice, and as her family repudiates her, she has to fight her battle alone.”—Pub. Opin.
“A novel that is likely to be read with delight on a wet day in a country house or on a railway journey.”

“It is as good as any of those which have preceded it from the same pen, and to say this is to pay it a high compliment.”

“Its structure is rather flabby. Looking back over the book, we feel that we ought to have been more excited over it than we were; but the truth is that Mr. Weyman is both wordy and a little uncertain.”
