“It is not with the usual feeling of disappointment that one
lays down this little book. One reads ‘The Aztec God’ with
pleasure.... ‘Cecil the Seer’ is a drama of the occult. In it
the author attempts to describe the conditions in the spiritual
world exactly as they exist according to coinciding testimony
of Swedenborg, of the modern Spiritualist, and of all supposed
to have explored them in trance states. Indirectly, perhaps,
the whole is a much needed satire upon the social, political,
and religious conditions of our present materialistic life....
In ‘Columbus’ one finds a work which it is difficult to avoid
injuring with fulsome praise. The character of the great
discoverer is portrayed grandly and greatly.... It is difficult
to conceive how anyone who cares for that which is best in
literature ... could fail to be strengthened and uplifted
by this heroic treatment of one of the great stories of the
world.”—_N. Y. Press._
“One must unreservedly commend the clear, vigorous statement,
the rhythmic facility, the copious vocabulary, and the
unvarying elevated tone of the three dramas.... The poetic
quality reveals itself in breadth of vision and picturesque
imagery. One is, indeed, not seldom in peril of forgetting plot
and character-action in these dramas, because of the glowing
imagination.”—_Home Journal._
“The time and place make the play an historic study of
interest, aside from its undoubted high poetic quality
and elevation of thought.... The metre of the dramas is
Shakespearian, and that master’s influence is constantly
apparent. It is needless to say to those who know the author’s
remarkable abilities that the plays are substantial and reflect
perfectly the author’s mind.”—_Portland Transcript._

under the facile pen and keen humor of the author, the
various situations ... are made the most of ... true to the
life.”—_Boston Globe._
“Such a spicy, racy, more-truth-than-fiction work has not been
placed in our hands for a long time.”—_Chicago Evening Journal._

subtle character delineation, which will appeal strongly to
those who have the perceptive faculties highly developed.”—_San
Francisco Bulletin._
