THE GREAT WAR IN ENGLAND IN 1897.
By WILLIAM LE QUEUX,
AUTHOR OF “GUILTY BONDS,” “STRANGE TALES OF A NIHILIST,” ETC.
There is a curious division of opinion upon the merits of Mr.William Le Queux’sremarkable book, “The Great War in England in 1897.” The Author has performed a task never before attempted, namely, to forecast an invasion of the whole of England and Scotland, and the reviewers have taken him to task very freely. It has received the warmest commendation from the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Connaught, Lord Wolseley, Lord Roberts, and Lord George Hamilton; and the “Service” papers, who should know something of our army and navy, unanimously praise it.The Admiralty and Horse Guards Gazettesays:—“Mr. Le Queux is a vivid writer, and his work gives evidence of care and thoroughness.The book is the best of its kindwe have come across.”The United Service Gazettesays that the author has studied the tactical and strategical problems thoroughly, and that “the book will do a national service”; whileThe Naval and Military Recordand theArmy and Navy Gazettesay that Mr. Le Queux has special qualifications for the task he has carried out so successfully. Most of the influential daily papers have also eulogised it strongly, amongst them theTimes,Standard,World,Sketch,Nottingham Daily Guardian,Scotsman,Glasgow Herald,Yorkshire Post,Aberdeen Free Press,Bradford Argus,Manchester Courier,Western Morning News,Bristol Mercury, and theLiverpool Courier.The Newcastle Daily Chronicledevoted a column to a review of a most commendatory character.The Daily Graphicsays it is “the most comprehensive and thrilling of anything yet attempted.” Three of the most powerful papers on the Continent, the ParisFigaro, the MilanSecolo, and the RomeOpinione, have devoted leading articles to the problems put forward by the Author, all three journals declaring thatthe work is unique, whileThe Sheffield Daily Telegraphsays it is “the sensationas well asthe successof the book season.” That it is phenomenally successful is proved by the fact thatFive Editions were sold within four weeks.
