The Hypocrite by Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull
Press Opinions of the Hypocrite:
MORNING POST:--”It is entitled to be regarded as one of the clever books of the day.”
MORNING LEADER:--”A brilliant book.... Evidently the work of a young, powerful, and subtle brain.”
WORLD:--”The anonymous author is evidently young and clever. He paints with a firm, bold hand. The characters are life-like, and in many cases drawn from the life. The book will be found interesting and entertaining.”
LONDON MORNING:--”A remarkable book.... Clever the book undoubtedly is. Its brutally frank analysis of the temperament of a man with brain and mind hopelessly diseased lifts the author out of the common rut of novelists, and stamps him as a writer of power.”
LLOYD’S:--”The book sparkles with epigrammatic sayings and satirical allusions. The characters are all vividly drawn, some of them being undoubted and recognisable caricatures. The writing is that of a clever pessimist, with a vein of sardonic humour that keeps the reader amused. The author may wear a green carnation, but whether he does or not, it is the work of a skilful pen.”
1898
