BY

LOUIS BECKE and WALTER JEFFERY

"No maker of plots could work out a better story of its kind, nor balance it more neatly."--_Daily Chronicle_.

"A book which describes a set of characters varied and so attractive as the more prominent figures in this romance, and a book so full of life, vicissitude, and peril, should be welcomed by every discreet novel reader."--_Yorkshire Post_.

"A very interesting tale, written in clear and vigorous English."--_Globe_.

"The novel is a happy blend of truth and fiction, with a purpose that will be appreciated by many readers; it has also the most exciting elements of the tale of adventure."--_Morning Post_.
