THE END

BY THE SAME AUTHOR

MUCKLE JOHN

CONTAINING 8 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR BY ALLAN STEWART

Large Crown 8vo. Price 3/6 Cloth.

“Frederick Watson has a special capacity for the creation of incident. It is not only inexhaustible—it is unremitting. It never lets the interest drop for a page, or for an instant.... The name of Fraser having been mentioned is the cue for an introduction of another Fraser. No other than Simon Lord Lovat.... But the character, though little more than a thumbnail sketch, will live in every memory in the same manner as we make acquaintance for life with Sir Walter Scott’s Louis the Eleventh, and never forget what manner of man he was.... This breathless, but abundantly winning novel is sure to be popular and successful.”—Sir Edward Russell in the Liverpool Post.

“The writer knows his period and his district thoroughly, and his Highlanders are life-like.”—Athenæum.

“Rob is a gallant laddie, and Muckle John a tantalising, elusive hero. We should like the author to have disclosed the real name of the Highland robber in the end! But we forgive him his reticence for the general pleasure his book has afforded us.”—The Record.

“Just the right thing for young people. It is charged with adventure, treachery, and excitement.... Muckle John is a fine, bold creation, whose personality dominates the book.”—Saturday Review.

“This is a quite exceptional book, which is worthily enhanced by exceptional coloured illustrations by Mr. Allan Stewart.”—Daily News.
