"The book has many fine qualities. As an historic picture it is not merely conscientious and painstaking, but vivid and full of the stir of life. As the study of the awakening of a timid, gentle, pious woman ... the book shows unusual analytical powers; as a tragedy ... it shows that fine sense of the narrow boundary line which separates the truly dramatic from the melodrama."—Bookman.
"Exceedingly vivid and interesting, ... strongly told ... great directness and full of sharp effects.... The reader ... will read it all ... a dramatic and a remarkably good story."—New York Sun.
"A telling and dramatic novel. Unusual, well constructed, well characterized, and replete with keen interest. The plot, which deals with Napoleon's proposed invasion of England, shows strength and simplicity and in John Friend, at once rascal and hero is presented a portrait equally convincing and unique."—Chicago Record-Herald.
"A very able book. Extremely powerful and interesting."—The Spectator (London).
"A historical novel of the first quality and which is not only the best of the year but of many years ... the keenest interest is aroused."—San Francisco Call.
W. P. EATON AND ELISE M. UNDERHILL'S THE RUNAWAY PLACE
A May Idyl of Manhattan. Mr. Eaton is ex-dramatic critic of the N. Y. Sun. $1.25.
"A sweetly whimsical tale.... A flavor that spells inevitable fascination for all whose heart freshness has not been left too far behind.... It's by no means easy to suggest the half humorous, half wistful, wholly tender and delightful charm of this lovable 'idyl of Manhattan.'"—Chicago Record-Herald.
"One of the most charming little idyls. Should be strong in its appeal to many readers."—Springfield Republican.
