=The Athenæum.=--‘There are descriptions which tell. There are remarkable scenes painted, as it were, with blood and fire. Man and machinery in grim revolt are portrayed, with hand-to-hand fights and many gruesome death-scenes.’
=Literature.=--‘All of the many different kinds of novel readers will enjoy _Love and his Mask_.... The story is a refreshment from beginning to end. _Love and his Mask_ will be one of the most popular novels of the autumn season.’
=The Daily Chronicle.=--‘A delightful romance.’
=Punch.=--‘A very clever novel, brightly written.’
=The Spectator.=--‘We have no hesitation in welcoming _Forest Folk_ as one of the very best and most original novels of the year, and our only regret is that we have failed to proclaim the fact sooner. The characterisation is excellent, the narrative is crowded with exciting incident, and the author has, in addition to an eye for the picturesque, a quite peculiar gift for describing effects of light and colour.’
=The Pall Mall Gazette.=--‘Mr. Prior has a large knowledge and is a keen observer of nature; he is cunning in devising strong situations, dramatic in describing them. His are forest folk indeed, men and women of flesh and blood.’
=The St. James’s Gazette.=--‘Full of live people, whom one remembers long. The whole book is charming.’
=The Illustrated London News.=--‘Mr. Woodroffe writes with admirable clearness, picturesqueness, and restraint; he has an eye for character, and a grip of tragic possibilities. It is a moving story, and stamps the author as one of the few real artists who are now writing English fiction.’

=W. L. Courtney in the Daily Telegraph.=--_D’Annunzio is one of the great artistic energies of the age. He is the incarnation of the Latin genius just as Rudyard Kipling is the incarnation of the Anglo-Saxon genius. He has invented new harmonies of prose._
=The Pall Mall Gazette.=--‘A work of genius, unique, astounding. There are passages that sweep one headlong, and the whole leaves an indelible impression.’
=The Standard.=--‘The pages are rich in symbolic imagery, in beautiful word-pictures of Venice, and are saturated by the spirit of the Renaissance in its most luxurious form.’
