SOME PRESS OPINIONS.

=Whitehall Review.=--"Those who love a mystery with plenty of 'go,'
and a story which is not devoid of a certain amount of realism,
cannot do better than pick up 'Fellow Passengers.' The characters
are real men and women, and not the sentimental and artificial
puppets to which we have been so long accustomed by our
sensationalists. The book is brightly written, and of detective
stories it is the best I have read lately."

=Weekly Dispatch.=--"If you want a diverting story of realism,
bordering upon actuality, you cannot do better than take up this
bright, vivacious, dramatic volume. It will interest you from
first page to last."

=Bristol Mercury.=--"An exciting and thrilling story. It is very
ingeniously constructed and well worked out."

=Catholic Times.=--"This is a well written story, with a good plot
and plenty of incident. From cover to cover there is not a dull
page, and the interest keeps up to the end."

=Glasgow News.=--"It is a thriller.... The sort of book one cannot
help finishing at a sitting. Not merely because it is short, but
because it rivets.... The author uses his materials with great
ingenuity, his plot is cleverly devised, and he very effectively
works up to a striking _denouement_."

"For fear divine Philosophy
Should push beyond her mark, and be
Procuress to the Lords of Hell."--TENNYSON.--_In Memoriam._

REVIEWERS' REMARKS.

=Sketch.=--"It is a well-written story. An admirable literary
style, natural and concise construction, succeed in compelling
the reader's attention through every line. We hope to welcome the
author again, working on a larger scene."

=News of the World.=--"It combines excellent descriptive power with
a gruesome and fascinating plot, with sufficient mystery to keep
the interest well sustained. The story is built round a novel and
interesting incident of crime, and the literary style of the
writer makes acceptable horrors that otherwise would be too weird
for any but the strongest nerved readers."

=Weekly Dispatch.=--"A remarkable book. It reads like the
production of a bad nightmare, and produces a creepiness of the
flesh. Any reader desiring to sup on horrors can here find his
fill. The book possesses considerable literary merit."

=Star.=--"May be guaranteed to disturb your night's rest. It is a
gruesome, ghastly, blood-curdling, hair-erecting, sleep-murdering
piece of work, with a thrill on every page. Read it."

=Hampshire Telegraph.=--"The principal figure in the story, Aleck
Severn, is a perfect imp of Satan. His course of crime, and the
manner in which Nemesis finally overtakes him, is very
graphically told."
