The King's Mirror Part 59

The Trail of the Sword. A Novel. $1.25.

"Mr. Parker here adds to a reputation already wide, and anew demonstrates his power of pictorial portrayal and of strong dramatic situation and climax."--_Philadelphia Bulletin_.

The Trespa.s.ser. $1.25.

"Interest, pith, force, and charm--Mr. Parker's new story possesses all these qualities.... Almost bare of synthetical decoration, his paragraphs are stirring because they are real. We read at times--as we have read the great masters of romance--breathlessly."--_The Critic_.

The Translation of a Savage. $1.25.

"A book which no one will be satisfied to put down until the end has been matter of certainty and a.s.surance."--_The Nation_.

Mrs. Falchion. $1.25.

"A well-knit story, told in an exceedingly interesting way, and holding the reader's attention to the end."

BY A. CONAN DOYLE.

Uniform edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 per volume.

_A DUET, WITH AN OCCASIONAL CHORUS_.

"Charming is the one word to describe this volume adequately. Dr.

Doyle's crisp style and his rare wit and refined humor, utilized with cheerful art that is perfect of its kind, fill these chapters with joy and gladness for the reader."--_Philadelphia Press_.

"Bright, brave, simple, natural, delicate. It is the most artistic and most original thing that its author has done.... We can heartily recommend 'A Duet' to all cla.s.ses of readers. It is a good book to put into the hands of the young of either s.e.x. It will interest the general reader, and it should delight the critic, for it is a work of art. This story taken with the best of his previous work gives Dr. Doyle a very high place in modern letters."--_Chicago Times-Herald_.

_UNCLE BERNAC. A Romance of the Empire._

"Simple, clear, and well defined.... Spirited in movement all the way through.... A fine example of clear a.n.a.lytical force."--_Boston Herald_.

_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier._

"Good, stirring tales are they.... Remind one of those adventures indulged in by 'The Three Musketeers.' ... Written with a dash and swing that here and there carry one away."--_New York Mail and Express_.

_RODNEY STONE_.

"A notable and very brilliant work of genius."--_London Speaker_.

"Dr. Doyle's novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident and excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the human side of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere charged with the spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting Anglo-Saxon."--_New York Critic_.

_ROUND THE RED LAMP_.

_Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life_.

"A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern literature."-_Boston Sat.u.r.day Evening Gazette_.

_THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS_. Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by STARK MUNRO, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell, Ma.s.sachusetts, during the years 1881-1884.

"Cullingworth.... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."--_Richard le Gallienne, in the London Star_.

By S. R. CROCKETT.

Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

_THE STANDARD BEARER_. An Historical Romance.

"Mr. Crockett's book is distinctly one of _the_ books of the year. Five months of 1898 have pa.s.sed without bringing to the reviewers' desk anything to be compared with it in beauty of description, convincing characterization, absorbing plot and humorous appeal. The freshness and sweet sincerity of the tale are most invigorating, and that the book will be very much read there is no possible doubt."--_Boston Budget_.

"The book will move to tears, provoke to laughter, stir the blood, and evoke heroisms of history, making the reading of it a delight and the memory of it a stimulus and a joy."--_New York Evangelist_.

_LADS' LOVE_. Ill.u.s.trated.

"It seems to us that there is in this latest product much of the realism of personal experience. However modified and disguised, it is hardly possible to think that the writer's personality does not present itself in Saunders McQuhirr.... Rarely has the author drawn more truly from life than in the cases of Nance and 'the Hempie'; never more typical Scotsman of the humble sort than the farmer Peter Chrystie."--_London Athenaeum_.

_CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._ Ill.u.s.trated.

"A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If there ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic ragam.u.f.fin."--_London Daily Chronicle_.

"In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ... It is one of the great books."--_Boston Daily Advertiser_.

_BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT_. Third edition.

"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and held palpitating in expression's grasp."--_Boston Courier_.

"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character."--_Boston Home Journal_.
