Vanity Fair-—“The hand that wrote the ‘Silver King’ has by no means lost its cunning in painting broad effects of light and shadow. _ The description of life in Broad- moor is, we fancy, done from actual observation. It is quite new. And the critic of Black and White sums it up pithily as “a story which holds our attention and in- terests us right from the first chapter. The hook is as exciting as even a story of sen- sation has any need to be.” Speaking of the scene of Mr Herman’s drama, the beautiful county of Devonshire, where the greater part of the story takes place, the Manchester Courier says : “The author’s descriptive powers vividly portray the lovely spots by the winding Tamar, while the rich dialect of the district is so faithfully reproduced as to be- come not the least feature of an exciting tale. The Weekly Mercury.—“Mr Henry Herman has carefully studied the little weak- nesses of the great army of readers. Like a celebrated and much advertised medicine, he invariably ‘touches the spot,' and hence the popularity of his works. His latest novel, ‘ The Sword of Fate,’ contains all the essentials of a popular story. It is well written, sufficiently dramatic, full of life and incident, and above all, right triumphs over wrong. We must, too, congratulate the author upon the omission of all that is disagree- able or likely to offend the susceptibilities of the most delicate minded. It is a clean and healthy novel, a credit to the writer, and a pleasure to the reader. . . . These are quite capable of affording anyone a pleasant evening’s reading, a remark which does not apply to the great majority of the modern novels.”
