Some Opinions of the Press on theFirst Edition of this Work.“The beauty of ‘Thoth’ is that you never have the faintest idea what will happen next. This is the glory of romance, to keep up the reader’s curiosity from page to page.... But what could hardly be bettered is the veiled yet awful picture of the women, the mothers of the ruling race in this wonderful city.... The central and vivifying idea is, to us, absolutely novel.”—Saturday Review.“‘Thoth’ has imagination, delicacy, and finish.”—Athenæum.“It is admirably written, many of its passages are not likely to be forgotten.”—Graphic.“‘Thoth’ is a weird and mysterious romance, manifesting unusual literary skill, and displaying no small amount of imagination.”—Academy.“Very curious and notable little book.”—Daily News.“The story is one of great power and of the highest imagination.... One of the cleverest things of the day.”—Glasgow Herald.“An excellent romance, strongly imagined, and worked out with praiseworthy delicacy and skill.”—Scotsman.“The book is full of imaginative beauty of a rare order.”—Leeds Mercury.“The tale is told with such a wealth of imagination and power of graphic description, that it is not only possible to take a lively interest in the fortunes of the heroine, but even difficult to cease following them till the last page is reached.”—Guardian.WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS,EDINBURGH AND LONDON.
