A Bitter Heritage.
"Mr. Bloundelle-Burton is one of the most successful of thepurveyors of historical romance who have started up in the wake of StanleyWeyman and Conan Doyle. He has a keen eye for the picturesque, a happy instinctfor a dramatic (or more generally a melodramatic) situation, and he is apt andcareful in his historic paraphernalia. He usually succeeds, therefore, inproducing an effective story."--Charleston News and Courier.
Fortune's my Foe.
"The story moves briskly, and there is plenty of dramaticaction."--Philadelphia Telegraph.
The Clash of Arms.
"Well written, and the interest is sustained from thebeginning to the end of the tale."--Brooklyn Eagle.
"Vividness of detail and rare descriptive power give the storylife and excitement."--Boston Herald.
Denounced.
"A story of the critical times of the vagrant and ambitiousCharles I, it is so replete with incident and realistic happenings that oneseems translated to the very scenes and days of that troublous era in Englishhistory."--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.
