_STANDARD._--“Mr. Blackwood in _The Centaur_ has written a book
of complete, consistent beauty.... _The Centaur_ is not only Mr.
Blackwood’s best work; it is also a book that will to the O’Malleys
of the world be a gift that they can never too highly acknowledge.”
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--“It is a book of strange wonders: there is
greatness in the conception, there is power in the execution, while
the literary excellence is of the finest quality, the arresting
phrase checking and holding the attention in every chapter.”
