SECOND EDITION.
THE ROGUE'S MARCH.
By E. W. HORNUNG,
_Author of "My Lord Duke," "Tiny Luttrell," "A Bride from the Bush,"etc._
Price 6s.
"It is a tragic, fascinating, extraordinarily vivid story, which it is difficult to put down when we begin to read it, and the impression of which it is impossible for a while to shake off."--_Daily News._
"We have had, so far as I know, no one on whom the mantle of Charles Reade can be said to have fallen. In the author of 'The Rogue's March' we seem to have found him."--_Illustrated London News._
"'The Rogue's March' may be commended without the least reservation as a most spirited and interesting story, admirably told, and without a dull page from cover to cover. It will be interesting to see if Mr. Hornung will follow up this book with others of the same kind. If he does so, the mantle of the author of 'It's Never Too Late to Mend' and 'Hard Cash' will have fallen on worthy shoulders."--_Sketch._
"It was with the greatest possible difficulty that we refrained from scampering through the pages of each chapter to see what happened in the end of it. Mr. Hornung keeps us in a state of palpitating wonder all through, and then surprises us at the last."--_Daily Chronicle._
"One of the most exciting tales that has appeared during many seasons."--_Morning Post._

"Mr. Hornung's Australian stories have won him many admirers, and his 'Tiny Luttrell' cannot fail to increase his reputation and their number. The bush is depicted with a vividness, a sympathy, a restraint that make you long to take the next ship to Melbourne. The English rectory and its neighbours are handled with no less skill."--_National Observer._
"'Tiny Luttrell' is a most artistic story, and takes up ground on which the author has no rival."--_Bristol Mercury._
