TIMES.—"Thoroughly interesting from beginning to end.... Fully worthy of his reputation."

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—"Can only enhance Mr. Crawford's reputation.... Admirably treated with all the subtlety, finesse, and delicacy which are characteristic of the author at his best."

PUNCH.—"Marion Crawford is at his very best in Marietta, A Maid of Venice. It is a powerfully dramatic story of Venice under 'The Ten,' told in a series of picturesque scenes described in strikingly artistic word-painting, the action being carried on by well-imagined, clearly-defined characters."

GUARDIAN.—"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements."

DAILY CHRONICLE.—"We do not forget Robbery under Arms, or any of its various successors, when we say that Rolf Boldrewood has never done anything so good as A Modern Buccaneer. It is good, too, in a manner which is for the author a new one."

WORLD.—"Full of good passages, passages abounding in vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of the humours of the gold-fields—tragic humours enough they are, too, here and again."

FIELD.—"The details are filled in by a hand evidently well conversant with his subject, and everything is ben trovato, if not actually true. A perusal of these cheerfully-written pages will probably give a better idea of realities of Australian life than could be obtained from many more pretentious works."

GLASGOW HERALD.—"The interest never flags, and altogether A Sydney-Side Saxon is a really refreshing book."

ATHENÆUM.—"A series of natural and entertaining pictures of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."

OBSERVER.—"An exciting story of Ballarat in the 'fifties. Its hero, Lance Trevanion, is a character which for force of delineation has no equal in Rolf Boldrewood's previous novels."

ACADEMY.—"A hearty story, deriving charm from the odours of the bush and the bleating of incalculable sheep."

ATHENÆUM.—"Rolf Boldrewood's last story is a racy volume. It has many of the best qualities of Whyte-Melville, the breezy freshness and vigour of Frank Smedley, with the dash and something of the abandon of Lever.... His last volume is one of his best."

TIMES.—"A well-written story."

ACADEMY.—"A charming picture of Australian station life."

NATIONAL OBSERVER.—"His book deserves to be read in England with as much appreciation as it has already gained in the country of its birth."

ATHENÆUM.—"The book is interesting for its obvious insight into life in the Australian bush."

ACADEMY.-"A stirring romance."

OUTLOOK.—"A lively and picturesque story."

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"Bristles with thrilling incident."

DAILY NEWS.—"The best work this popular author has done for some time."

STANDARD.—"Miss Carey has the gift of writing naturally and simply, her pathos is true and unforced, and her conversations are sprightly and sharp."

LADY.—"Miss Carey's novels are always welcome; they are out of the common run, immaculately pure, and very high in tone."

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"A novel of a sort which it would be a real loss to miss."

STANDARD.—"Robert Ord's Atonement is a delightful book, very quiet as to its story, but very strong in character, and instinct with that delicate pathos which is the salient point of all the writings of this author."

STANDARD.—"There is plenty of romance in the heroine's life. But it would not be fair to tell our readers wherein that romance consists or how it ends. Let them read the book for themselves. We will undertake to promise that they will like it."

MORNING POST.—"Deserves to be extensively known and read.... Will doubtless find as many admirers as readers."
