"The writer who goes by the name of Mark Rutherford is not
the most popular novelist of his time by any means. There
are writers with names which that recluse genius has never
heard of, probably, whose stories give palpitations to
thousands of gentle souls, while his own are quietly read by
no more than as many hundreds. Yet his publisher never
announces a new story by the Author of 'Mark Rutherford's
Autobiography,' and 'The Revolution in Tanner's
Lane,'--which we believe to be one of the most remarkable
bits of writing that these times can boast of--without
strongly exciting the interest of many who know books as
precious stones are known in Hatton Garden.... 'Clara
Hopgood' is entirely out of the way of all existing schools
of novel-writing.... Had we to select a good illustration of
'Mark's way' as distinguished from the way of modern
storytellers in general, we should point to the chapter in
which Baruch visits his son Benjamin in this narration.
Nothing could be more simple, nothing more perfect."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._

BY

LOUIS BECKE and WALTER JEFFERY

_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth_, =6s.=

"As convincingly real and vivid as a narrative can
be."--_Sketch._

"No maker of plots could work out a better story of its
kind, nor balance it more neatly."--_Daily Chronicle._

"A book which describes a set of characters varied and so
attractive as the more prominent figures in this romance,
and a book so full of life, vicissitude, and peril, should
be welcomed by every discreet novel reader."--_Yorkshire
Post._

"A very interesting tale, written in clear and vigorous
English."--_Globe._

"The novel is a happy blend of truth and fiction, with a
purpose that will be appreciated by many readers; it has
also the most exciting elements of the tale of
adventure."--_Morning Post._
