jj The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker has done it with
great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not interested in this original, fresh,

dignified, and pure, is exceptionally well drawn.’—Manchester Guardian.

‘ Everybody with a soul for romance will thoroughly enjoy “ The Trail of the

are undertaken, and daring deeds done, in which men and women live and
love m the old straightforward passionate way, is a jo y inexpressible to the reviewer,
brain-weary of the domestic tragedies and psychological puzzles of everyday
fiction ; and we cannot but believe that to the reader it will bring refreshment
as welcome and as keen.’—Daily Chronicle.
W H EN VA LMO N D CAM E TO PO N T IA C : The Story of
a Lost Napoleon. Third Edition.
Here we find romance real, breathing, living romance, but it runs flush with our
owntimes, level with our own feelings. Not here can we complain of lack of
mevitameness or homogeneity. The character of Valmond is drawn unerringly;
fiis career, brief as it is, is placed before us as convincingly as history itself. The
book must be read, we may say re-read, for any one thoroughly to appreciate
Gazette te touch and innate sympathy with humanity.*—Pall Mall

<Th® present book is full of fine and moving stories of the great North, and it will t rru t0 Parker’s already high reputation.’—Glasgow Herald. The new book is very romantic and very entertaining—full of that peculiarly
elegant spirit of adventure which is so characteristic of Mr. Parker, and of that
poetic thrill which has given him warmer, i f less numerous, admirers than even
his romantic story-telling gift has done.’—Sketch.

* brS* *kini> he has done; one of the best things that any one has done lately.*— o t. James s Gazette.
* Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every serious novel that he
attempts. . . . In “ The Seats of the Mighty ” he shows the matured power which
his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a really fine historical
novel. . . The great creation of the book is Doltaire. . . . His character is
drawn with quite masterly strokes, for he is a villain who is not altogether a villain,
?n.,..wao attracts the reader, as he did the other characters, by the extraordinary
brilliance of his gifts, and by the almost unconscious acts of nobility which he
performs. . . . Most sincerely is Mr. Parker to be congratulated on the finest
novel he has yet written .'—Athenceum.
