When Valmond Came to Pontiac, Volume 1.
It followed The Trail of the Sword and preceded The Seats of the Mighty,and appeared in the summer of 1895. The critics gave it a receptionwhich was extremely gratifying, because, as it seemed to me, theyrealised what I was trying to do; and that is a great deal. One greatjournal said it read as though it had been written at a sitting; anothercalled it a tour de force, and the grave Athenaeum lauded it in a keywhich was likely to make me nervous, since it seemed to set a standardwhich I should find it hard to preserve in the future. But in truth thenewspaper was right which said that the book read as though it waswritten at a sitting, and that it was a tour de force. The facts arethat the book was written, printed, revised, and ready for press in fiveweeks.
