The book should find as many readers as "King Solomon's Mines."--NewYork Sun. (2/3 column review.)
We have often wondered why the famous legend of El Dorado had neverfound its way into romance. Though the novel of adventure is once morein vogue, and although the cry is general that all possible themes havelong ago been exhausted this still was left untouched; the storytellers seemed to have thought the quest as hopeless as the adventurersfound it. The omission has now been made good; the hidden city hasbeen found.--Macmillan's Magazine, London.--(Extract from athirteen-page review.)
Is an exceptionally fascinating book. * * * We know well that thescenes and characters are all ideal--nay, we feel that some are utterlyimpossible--but none the less they enthrall us.--New York Herald,(3/4-column review.)
The book is recommended to the perusal of all.--Boston Times.
Here we have a book that is deserving of success.--Waverley Magazine,(Boston.)
This is one of the best books of adventure that has appeared in thelast year or so.--Hartford Post.
