Fortune's my Foe.
Mr. Bloundelle-Burton has proved his ability to interestreaders so thoroughly that it is sufficient merely to announce this new andentertaining romance. His story moves briskly as usual, and there is aconstantly sustained interest and plenty of dramatic action.
The Clash of Arms.<//p>
"Well written, and the interest is sustained from the beginningto the end of the tale"--Brooklyn Eagle.
"Vividness of detail and rare descriptive power give the storylife and excitement."--Boston Herald.
Denounced.
"The author of 'Denounced' is second to none in the romanticrecounting of the tales of earlier days. A story of the critical times of thevagrant and ambitious Charles I, it is so replete with incident and realistichappenings that one seems translated to the very scenes and days of thattroublous era in English history."--Boston Courier.
The Scourge of God.
"The story is one of the best in style, construction,information, and graphic power, that have been written in recent years."--Dial,Chicago.
In the Day of Adversity.
"Mr. Burton's creative skill is of the kind which mustfascinate those who revel in the narratives of Stevenson, Rider Haggard, andStanley Weyman. Even the author of 'A Gentleman of France' has not surpassed thewriter of 'In the Day of Adversity' in the moving interest of his tale."--St.James's Gazette.
