"It ia a work of considerable literary pretension—a novel, in fact, with here and there a dash of hisbory in ib, bo give a tone to the whole. 'Frank Melton's Luck'is all about a new chum's doings near Wanganui in the comparatively early days of North Island civilisation. He falls in love —he rides a race—he speculates in gold minss—his path is crossed from time to time by a wretch of a rival—bub all ends gloriously—and the book only costs a shilling ! The author gives us value for
our money.' . ... Wo therefore cordially recommend, our readers to buy ' Frank Melton's ,'Luck.'" —' Extract from review of "Frank Melton's Luck," Oxford and Cu-t" Observer," October 31sb, 189 L Canterbury.
