In the Day of Adversity
“We do not hesitate to declare that Mr. Bloundelle-Burton’s new romance will be very hard to beat in its own particular line.... Mr. Burton’s creative skill is of the kind which must fascinate those who revel in the narratives of Stevenson, Rider Haggard, and Stanley Weyman. Even the author of ‘A Gentleman of France’ has not surpassed the writer of ‘In the Day of Adversity’ in the moving interest of his tale.”
