• THE MASTER CHRISTIAN.
  “It cannot be denied that ‘The Master Christian’ is a powerful book; that it is one likely to raise uncomfortable questions in all but the most self-satisfied readers, and that it strikes at the root of the failure of the churches—the decay of faith—in a manner which shows the inevitable disaster heaping up ... The good Cardinal Bonpré is a beautiful figure fit to stand beside the good Bishop in ‘Les Misérables.’ ... The chapter in which the Cardinal appears with Manuel before Leo XIII. is characterized by extraordinary realism and dramatic intensity.... It is a book with a serious purpose expressed with absolute unconventionality and passion.... And this is to say it is a book worth reading.” The Examiner.

• BARABBAS: A Dream of the World's Tragedy.
  THIRTY-SIXTH EDITION. “The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this ‘Dream of the World's Tragedy’ is a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the sumpreme climax of ihe inspired narrative.”—Dublin Review.
• THE SORROWS OF SATAN.
  FORTY-THIRD EDITION. “A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.”—W.T. STEAD in the Review of Reviews.
