HIS VANISHED STAR

'"His Vanished Star," in all its well-defined, well-described human interests, and its graphic account of grand and lovely scenery, is an excellent novel.... The story is both charming and original.'—Glasgow Herald.

'A thrilling and pathetic tale, and one full of quiet humour and intimate observation of human nature.'—Morning Leader.

'There is not a page in it which will not cause a reader to respect the writer for her good work.'—Bookman.

'C. E. Craddock has given in "His Vanished Star" fresh evidence of strong imaginative power and a faculty of vivid description, bold, definite, and picturesque.... Its excellencies are undeniable, and not of a common sort.'—Scotsman.

'A remarkable study of nature as well as of character.... Rich in the rather grim humour of a peculiar class, picturesque and in its way powerful, "His Vanished Star" will recommend itself to the lover of American fiction.'—Morning Post.

'There is a good deal of interesting character-drawing, and the spiritual impressions are strong and high. There is humour too.'—Athenæum.

'As a vivid sketch of American life in its most primitive aspect, "His Vanished Star" is undoubtedly a noteworthy book.'—Speaker.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE PROPHET OF THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS

'The name of George Eliot rises to our lips once again as we read "The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains." ... The author is honoured in her own country as Miss Mary N. Murfree. She is indeed worthy of honour. This book gives her an indisputable place in the first rank of American novelists. Yet it is scarcely accurate to say that she stands in the rank; her station is abreast, yet apart. Amid all the charms of the American school of fiction, we look for one in vain—to wit, robustness. This quality Miss Murfree possesses. Her work may be called the most virile of recent American writing. The heroine is a really exquisite creation, full of health, grace, and womanly loyalty.'—Pall Mall Gazette.

'The tale is really good, and gives graphic pictures of ways and manners far removed from any that are within our ken.... A story which shows appreciation of the beauties of nature, and much knowledge of the human heart. The heroine is earnest and charming—a gem.'—Morning Post.

'A remarkable story.... We have seldom, if ever, read a book with greater delight, or one more rich in the quaint and grim humour, the rare pathos, the touching simplicity, and the picturesque descriptions which are only to be found in stories of this kind.'—Society.

'Unquestionably the most remarkable story that has been received from America for a very long time indeed.... The whole picture, as a study both of nature and of human nature, is wonderfully impressive.'—Graphic.
