A MEXICAN MYSTERY.


The Saturday Review says:—"A Mexican Mystery demands attention as a rarity . . . romance remarkably clever and ingenious . . . scenes thrilling without being exaggerated . . . Is a shillings worth which nobody will read and yet pretend that he has not had the value of his money."

The St. Stephen's Review says:—"We cordially recommend the perusal of this volume . . . strangely mysterious, and congratulate the author on having struck a new key in the weird."

The Literary World says:—"Has certainly the merit of novelty . . . Marvellous in the extreme."

The County Gentleman says:—"Stirring tale . . . excellent dramatic power in the situations."

The People says:—"The story is a right good one; powerfully written, full of interest, and by no means deficient in originality."

The Academy says:—"Can afford to stand beside Mrs. Shelley's famous tale, or Comte de Villlers' 'l'Eve Future.' In some respects it is more awesome than the former, and more ingenious than the latter."

Life says:—"To write a strikingly new and original story is not given to every one. A romance that is scarcely possible to read and forget, strange, weird, supernatural, yet realistic, is the 'Mexican Mystery.'"

The Hereford Journal says:—"The book is well worth reading, and that it has met the popular taste is proved by the fact that a second edition has so soon been reached."

The Dundee Courier says:—"This is a remarkably clever story."

The Evening Post says:—" The book is exciting from beginning to end."

The Scottish Leader says:—"Providing a lively and novel sensation."

The Stamford Mercury says:—"This is a real 'novel' . . . narrated with considerable force and skill."

The Torquay Journal says:—"Will delight those who take pleasure in the marvellous."

The Newcastle Daily Chronicle says:—"It is but a few weeks since this thrilling tale was published, and those who have read it will not be surprised that it has reached a second edition."
