"Too much can not be said in praise of these strong productions, that to
read, keep one's heart leaping to the throat, and the mind in a tumult
of anticipation to the end.... No series of short stories in modern
literature can approach them."--Hartford Times.

"If Dr. A. Conan Doyle had not already placed himself in the front rank
of living English writers by 'The Refugees,' and other of his larger
stories, he would surely do so by these fifteen short tales."--New York
