"Mr. Hope's most mature and most artistic work."
--_The Book Buyer._
"A powerful novel by one of the great masters in literature."--_Boston
Times._
"It is a notable book."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
"It takes hold of the reader and he cannot put it down until he has read
the last chapter."--_N. Y. Tribune._
"'Tristram of Blent' is quite different from the 'Prisoner of Zenda,' but
it is quite as interesting, while much more satisfactory and complete;
and whereas the sword-play and the glitter of the courts is missing, its
reality more than makes up for the omission."
--_Philadelphia Telegraph._
"The character studies in the book are admirable. Not only the main
figures are treated with consummate art; there is not a person in the
book, however unimportant to the furtherance of the main action, but
receives the touch which gives life, which suggests a type without
sacrificing the individual.... It stands as a revelation of the fulness
of Mr. Hope's resources, his grasp of plot and character and
construction.... In workmanship it ranks with his best as an exposition
of the maturity of his art."--_N. Y. Mail and Express._
