  WHEN I WAS CZAR.

  The _Daily Chronicle_ says:--"It is something to manage a complicatedplot, just as it is something to drive a tandem, or a coach and four.Mr. Marchmont drives his team handsomely, and lovers of sensations andthrills will thank him duly."

  The _Court Circular_ says:--"There is always something supremelyaudacious about Mr. Marchmont's books. This, however, I will say, thatfor a long evening's solid enjoyment 'When I was Czar' would be hard tobeat."

  The _Nottingham Guardian_ says:--"The best story of political intriguewhich has been written since 'The Prisoner of Zenda,' with which itcompares for the irresistible buoyancy by which it is told and the skillin which expectation is maintained on tiptoe till the last move."

  The _Freeman's Journal_ says:--"A very brilliant work, every page in itdisplays the dramatic talent of the author and his capacity for writingsmart dialogue."

  The _Birmingham Post_ says:--"A story well worth reading. It is inreality a thrilling and exciting adventure, which the reader, once hehas taken up, will be indisposed to lay aside unfinished."
