“_The work of an artist who has in him something of the large
liberal heart of his master—Mr. Dickens: it is a substantial work
carefully invented and carefully written, with regard not merely to
neat easy periods, but to the quality of thought expressed; and as

noble._”—Examiner.

... “_But the greatest of all these successes is ‘A Strange Story.’
Hundreds of thousands rush to read this ‘fairy tale of science and
long results of time’ as recorded by Sir E. B. Lytton._”—Times.
“_In conclusion, we may remark that in this novel Sir Edward
displays another of those versatile turns of genius which place him
pre-eminent amongst the novelists of the day. The ‘Strange Story’
is entirely different, alike in conception and in treatment, from
his three famous last published novels. The present work is full of
passages of most exquisite prose poetry, blending with and ennobled
by the highest philosophical reflection; so that, after the reader
has enjoyed the perusal of it, as a work of fiction, he will not
fail to place it on the most accessible shelf of his library as
a book to be studied—alike for the sake of the heart and of the
intellect._”—Press.

sentiment as it is in Christian philosophy, and as glowing in its

skill and industry: she has evidently taken great pains with her
work.”—_Athenæum._
“A thoroughly good book.”—_Morning Star._
“The best novels, of which ‘El Fureidis’ is one.”—_Glasgow Herald._
“Not only has Miss Cummins enhanced her reputation by her present
production, but literature has gained a valuable acquisition in this
spirited and heart-stirring romance of ‘El Fureidis.’”—_Leader._
