"... There is little but praise to bestow on Mr. Gerrare. He knows his 

 Merionethshire well, his topography is accurate, liis descriptions are vivid and 

 not too long. He has given us a fine t-toiy which will be read with eager interest. 

 The passages that charm most are those describing the manner in which Kyffiu 

 moves the stakes that were to guide the Yorkist English ag they floated Ineir 

 big gun across the marsh during th siege, the account of the bursting of Qas- 

 pard Chevysse's great gun, ' The King's Daughter,' and the story of the battle in 

 the pass. These are, there is no question about it, thoroughly good; and the 

 man who can describe a fight as Mr. Gerrare can describe it is a distinct gain, 

 and a man worth knowing in literature." National Observer. 



" In every sense a novel out of the beaten ways of fiction." The Morning. 



" An excellent and interesting tale." Black and White. 



" Mr. Gerrare is a writer with the historical sense; he has the imagination and 

 the knowledge to reconstitute a period, and the rude life of the times is brought 

 before the reader in a succession of animated scenes. 'The Men of Harlech' is 

 strenuously written and the author's style will please those who have the taste for 

 good writing as surely as the book will engage the attention of those who read 

 only for the story." He/ tree. 



"To be ungrudgingly commended." Sheffield, Telegraph. 



" Mr. Gerrare describes a battle with great power. The fight in the pass is 

 a clever piece of work, and the romance of the pretty Alis is distinct with grace 

 and feeling." Daily Chronicle. 



" Whose pulse will not beat the quicker as he reads of the first cannon that 

 woke the echoes of Harlech, and the terror which it spread within the castle 

 walls ? There is a wholesome breeziness about Mr. Gerrare,' s tale of the old 

 world, developed with an intensity worthy of Charles Rfiade." Academy.
