THE ETERNAL CITY
By HALL CAINE
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Daily Telegraph.—'Mr. Hall Caine has produced a remarkable novel.'
The St. James's Gazette.—' It is interesting, characteristic, and highly dramatic, and not too long. It is a stirring, warm-blooded story that one is sorry to have finished.'
The Daily News.—'Mr. Hall Caine has written a book that will strike the popular imagination. . . . He introduces no subtleties into his politics. Above all, he makes his human interest clear, strong, and intelligible.'
The Liverpool Daily Post.—'Hall Caine's Eternal City is a great novel, revealing the author at the very zenith of his gift. . . . The book's greatest wealth is its wealth of contagious and engrossing emotion. It is a triumph of imagination, of power over the feelings, as it is of dexterously used observation of an historic and most interesting and deeply agitated people. . . .'
The Daily Mail.—'He has written a vivid story, characterised by that keen eye for dramatic situations which has given him fame. There is little doubt that its popularity will rival that of its predecessors.'
The Liverpool Courier.—'The Eternal City, daring in its conception, and still more audacious in its execution, dealing not with a century ago or a decade back, but with to-day, referring to positions (if not to persons) that stand out prominent in the world's life, the present moment is the flood which must carry it to success. . . . Of its intrinsic worth there can be no doubt. It is the best that Mr. Caine has yet produced.'
The Scotsman.—'It may be asserted with confidence that no living author than Mr. Caine could have produced this work. It may be doubted whether any author who has lived for many generations past could have produced it. The novel stands out as a purely exceptional work. . . . The verdict must be that it is masterly in its conception and in its treatment. . . . Mr. Caine has produced a really fine work, a work that will carry on his reputation to a higher point than it has yet attained.'

The Sketch.—'It quivers and palpitates with passion, for even Mr. Caine's bitterest detractors cannot deny that he is the possessor of that rarest of all gifts, genius.'
The Standard.—'The book has humour, it has pathos, it is full of colour and movement. It abounds in passages of terse, bold, animated descriptions. . . . There is, above all, the fascination of a skilful narrative.'
The Speaker.—'It is a notable book, written in the heart's blood of the author, and palpitating with the passionate enthusiasm that has inspired it. A book that is good to read, and that cannot fail to produce an impression on its readers.'
The Scotsman.—'The tale will enthral the reader by its natural power and beauty. The spell it casts is instantaneous, but it also gathers strength from chapter to chapter, until we are swept irresistibly along by the impetuous current of passion and action.'
