ROBERT CROMIE'S BOOKS

_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS_

A PLUNGE INTO s.p.a.cE

WITH PREFACE BY JULES VERNE

_Times._--The story is written with considerable liveliness, the scientific jargon is sufficiently perplexing, and the characters are sketched with some humour.

_Chronicle._--A strange, weird, mysterious story that holds the reader spell-bound, from the first page to the last.

_Athenaeum._--Mr. Cromie's Utopia is charming, and the quasi-scientific detail of the expedition is given with so much integrity that we hardly wonder at the marvellous results accomplished.

_Truth._--A very clever description of a flight through s.p.a.ce to Mars ... the book is extremely interesting and suggestive; especially, perhaps, where it attacks the theories of Mr. George and "Looking Backwards."

_Court Journal._--Mr. Robert Cromie's remarkably clever and entertaining volume is told with much of the vivid fancy of a Jules Verne--with remarkable picturesqueness, and the experiences of mortals in Mars are described with considerable humour.

_Review of Reviews._--An unquestionably interesting story. The adventures of the hero and his friends are in no small degree thrilling.

_Glasgow Herald._--The imagination is brilliant, the scientific details are skilfully worked in, the dialogues and descriptions are lively and interesting, and the pictures of Martian life and scenery are remarkable--a decidedly clever book.

FOR ENGLAND'S SAKE

_Academy._--There is not a dull page in the story.

_Army and Navy Gazette._--A capital little story of military life, full of bright word-painting.

_Literary World._--This exciting chapter in the history of the future is written with a great deal of enthusiasm, and a great deal of common sense to boot.

_Irish Times._--The plot is well conceived, and the interest throughout is well maintained.

_Belfast Northern Whig._--The author displays much constructive and descriptive power. He is most felicitous in his word pictures of scenery, and imparts a fascinating dash to his military scenes.

_Belfast Morning News._--Deeply interesting without being sensational, this charming story of love and war is sure to appeal with force to a large circle of readers.

_Liverpool Daily Post._--A well-told story of life and love in troublous times in India.

_Leeds Mercury._--The author relies on vivid description, pointed and racy pictures, and lively and striking incident for interest.
