OUTRIDDEN

'"Outridden," by Fox Russell, is a novel of the orthodox type, and fulfils all the requirements of a rattling good sporting novel.'—Pall Mall Gazette.

A JUDAS OF TO-DAY

'The reader who likes his novels like his wines, "full-bodied," whether there be bouquet or none, will probably pronounce Mr Russell's to be "a rattling good story." There is a certain Count Logrono in it who recalls all the dear old melodramatic memories, and there is also an unfrocked clergyman, who is such a shockingly bad man that one wonders Mr Russell did not end by giving him the command of a piratical cruiser. We have love and beauty in it too, and, of course, they are triumphant over all the devices of the enemy, while the wicked in the closing chapters are cleverly made the benefactors of the good and the true. And all this is as it should be, though why the Count Logrono was ever permitted to run at large so long as he did is one of those mysteries known only to the sensational novelist and his complacent reader.'—Glasgow Herald, 11th July 1901.
