The Jaws of Death. 
By Grant ALLEN. 6th Thousand. 
The Dazly Chronicle says:—‘‘*The Jaws of Death’ is a pretty 
piece of writing in the sensational line. We are brought so smoothly, 
so gradually, to the very edge of the catastrophe, the shiver of it is 
upon us almost before we are there, It is extremely creditable to 
Mr. Allen’s invention.” 
The Latly News says :—‘‘ The whole thing is exceedingly well 
done.” 
The Literary World says:—‘*It does great credit to Mr. Grant 
Allen's vivid imagination and able descriptive powers.” 
The Daily Courter says :—‘‘ There are few authors who can 
write such good short stories as Mr. Grant Allen.” 
The Svo/sman says:—‘*‘The Jaws of Death’ is an attractive 
story of a strange and exciting character, suitable for perusal on 
the sea-shore or the mountain side. A good-going story, with 
plenty of spirit, and not a little fun.” 
The Bookseller says:—‘‘It is told in a fashion which makes 
the reader forget the improbability, and only feel regret that the 
end is reached all too soon.” 
The St. James’ Guzetie says:—‘*The climax is ingeniously 
arrived at, and the preliminary narrative is lively and entertaining.” 
The Abervecn Free Press says :—‘‘ There are few better story- 
tellers than Mr. Grant Allen when he is in the vein, and in this. 
little volume we have him at his best.”’ 
The Western Alail says :—‘‘ This dainty volume forms the first of 
the Daffodil Series. ‘The Jaws of Death’ is a clever little story 
from the pen ofa distinguished novelist. It is intensely well told.” 
The North British Daily Mail says :—‘' We give the initial 
number of this series our most unqualified approval ; it is excellent 
from every point of view.” 
The Blfast News Letter says:—‘‘ No one with a taste for the 
humorous will deny that the author has tickled him with his picture 
of Howard Freke of Cooper’s Pike; and if he combine in his 
nature u love for the sensational, the closing chapters apropos of 
the doings of Li Sing cannot possibly fail to delight him equally. 
The story is most enjoyable throughout.” ‘ 
The Bath Herald says:—‘‘The book is powerfully and 
dramatically written, and the volume is a welcome introduction 
to what is likely to become a very popular series.”
