ARDATH: THE STORY OF A DEAD SELF. _Eleventh Edition._
THE SOUL OF LILITH. _Ninth Edition._
WORMWOOD. _Eighth Edition._
BARABBAS: A DREAM OF THE WORLD'S TRAGEDY. _Thirty-third Edition._
'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative
beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the
conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so
exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided
it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The
amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived
with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's
Tragedy" is a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme
climax of the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin Review._
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. _Thirty-ninth Edition._
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is
magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the
memory of man.... The author has immense command of language,
and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable
romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of
the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and
even sublime.'--W. T. STEAD in the _Review of Reviews_.
=Anthony Hope's Novels=
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Eighth Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis
impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial;
well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the
proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be
enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen
pleasure.'--_The World._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Fifth Edition._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The
characters are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times._
A MAN OF MARK. _Fourth Edition._
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best
compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'--_National Observer._
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Third Edition._
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and
pure romance. The Count is the most constant, desperate, and
modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid
fighter, a faithful friend, and a magnanimous foe.'--_Guardian._
PHROSO. Illustrated by H. R. MILLAR. _Third Edition._
'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the
blood.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'A story of adventure, every page of which is palpitating with
action.'--_Speaker._
'From cover to cover "Phroso" not only engages the attention,
but carries the reader in little whirls of delight from
adventure to adventure.'--_Academy._
SIMON DALE. Illustrated. _Third Edition._
