THE SL AVE CAPTAIN,
A LEGEND OF LIVERPOOL.
By JOHN DIGNAN,
'kuthor of " A Romance of Liverpool Life ; with Illustrations

by Landells,

" We had occasion to speak in warm terms of Mr. Dignan's
Romance of Liverpool Life,' but the present work of fiction
far transcends, in our opiniop, the former one."—Albion.

" The editorial habits of Mr. Dignan have insured ondem a-
tion and a striking brevity of„detail, while the hand of the
practised litterateur is to begtficed in the clever setting of the
ornaments and the el ate polish of the entire work."`
Liverpool Journal.
"We do not o read books through ; but we have this--;
really and truly. The beauty of the book, added to its local
interest, is its originality "—Liverpool Lion.
" Our practical knowledge of Mr. Dignan's talents and style
of composition induces us to recommend him to prosecute 1115
present career in imaginative literature."—European Times.
" The SlaVe Captain' is written in a graceful, pleasing style ;
the plot of it is interesting and well developed, and the hand
of the practised literary man is to be traced throughout"—
Liverpool Mail.
" Air. Dignan has displayed all the requirements of a no-
velist ; skill in construction, great power of conception and
delineation of character, combined with perfect purity of taste
and expression. Above all, the moral conveyed throughout
the work is excellent."—Liverpool Standard. .
