"We have had of late an abundance of romance, but not better than this. The heroine is adorable. The whole book is a masterpiece of romance."—British Weekly.
"It is an exciting narrative of a perilous adventure, and of a hate that was converted into love as strong as death. The characters are drawn with a strong hand, and the interest is sustained to the end."—Punch.

Fifth English Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
"Miss Mary Johnston's former novel prepared the reader to welcome her name on a title-page, and 'By Order of the Company' will not disappoint such expectations, for it is quite as good reading as 'The Old Dominion.' The picture of the very earliest days of Virginia is excellently painted, and the personages of the story are sympathetic and interesting."—Spectator.
"If 'The Old Dominion' had not previously attracted attention, her new story must have assured her reputation."—Manchester Guardian.
"So exact in historical colour, so rich in glowing imagination and stirring adventure, so full of pictorial charm and poetic description, so charged with emotion and tender melancholy was 'The Old Dominion,' that it was with lively anticipations that I turned to 'By Order of the Company,' and I find no justification for disappointment."—The Echo.
"This admirable story is in every respect equal to the author's earlier work, 'The Old Dominion'.... We are sure every reader of her new book will pronounce it a brilliant success."—The British Weekly.
"'By Order of the Company' has more than fulfilled the promise of 'The Old Dominion'.... a tale of ingenious, exciting adventure, at once catching the attention, and holding it from first to last."—The Globe.
"Will hold the reader enthralled from first to last."—Publishers' Circular.
"There is not a dull page in the book."—The Sphere.
